The Uniforms just made Sportscenter I saw it as well... very nice pub and kind words from the talking heads. Full frame photo they had up looked downright vicious.

The only thing I really don't like about the new unis is there's no SD logo on the side of the helmet. The side of the helmet is the prime spot for identifying the team. When a photo of this appears no one will know it's San Diego State. Not crazy about the wide black stripe either. The is an SD logo on the back of the helmet but no one looks there and it gets lost with all the other stickers back there like the MWC logo, flag and helmet warning paragraph. The calendar looks nice but won't be visible from more than three feet away. The rest of the uniform is OK. I hope the red numbers will stand out enough against the black jersey.

I think it'd be pretty cool if the Aztec Calendar became synonymous with SDSU, kinda like the silver helmets with stickers is with Ohio State and the golden helmet is with Notre Dame. Obviously we would have to build a recognizable winning culture around it, but we don't NEED to have the SD logo to let people know that these are our own.

Not a fan. What's wrong with a classic look? It works for U$C, Stanford, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan and many others. Not a fan? Come on lameaztec!

There are many schools that don't have their logo on their helmet and people have no problem recognizing them. People will have no problem recognizing us and knowing that is San Diego State. If it was just a solid red helmet, then you may have a point, even though many reputable and well known schools just have a solid helmet. But, the aztec calendar will basically achieve what you are think we are losing by not having a logo on the side. And tbh, I think the logo on the back of the helmet is pretty sick. I get that there will be complaints about everything. So, I get it. The general consensus is that these jerseys and helmet are amazing and a major upgrade. Of course you can get a microscope and nit pick everything. Pretty pointless and a waste of time. So people will never be pleased. In fact, some people don't want to be pleased. Complaining is their pleasure.

I loved the classic look, but we lost it after the 2010 season after fans complained about wanting to modernize the uniforms to attract the new generation. So athletics listened and gave the equipment team the approval to change. That is when our uniforms became absolutely hideous and popwarner-esque. And each of those 4 seasons, a new jersey was introduced. Clearly we lost our identity. We have finally found it. This is a uniform (Jersey + Helmet) that we can keep for a very long time and have it become a tradition.

Perhaps, this might be one of the best things the athletic department has ever done.
Right place, right time, right design.
Massive kudos to ALL involved.

Its about marketing!!! If the kids love them, that's what matters. If you don't know SDSU is trending because of the new uniforms. We talk about wanting to attract 4* and 5* players.......this is what it takes!!! ESPN was giving us major love, now when have they ever done that? That's right.....NEVER!
We are, and never will be the USC, UCLA's Ohio States or Michigan's of the world with tradition..... Who cares? WE ARE AZTECS!!!!

Sure hope this form of respect for the Aztec culture could really go far in easing many of the radicals on campus' thoughts of using the Aztec name, etc.
