@@243bmk I only have to hear "Lavender tops and purple shorts" and the only thing I can see is Rolando Blackman rising up to drill a jump shot to beat the #1 seeded Beav's in the '81 NCAA tournament. Just give me Lav over Purple right in my veins all day.
@@richardstones6445 yeah, I understand that is a nostalgic look as well, but I I was born in 82 and I'm turning 42. There's a ton of our fan base that never got to see that stuff. That's just my least favorite look.
You mentioned HISTORY so..... Looking at the 1975-77 uniforms, their almost lavender instead of purple, definitely not today's dark purple. Snyder didn't like the light purple/lavender colors and branded them with the past losing history of K-State football. I've heard stories that Snyder wanted as dark of purple as was possible to make. I've heard it referred to as "Snyder Purple". When the basketball team moved away from lavender in the late '80's, early'90's they started losing. When the football team did the same thing at the same time, they started winning!?! Adding lavender highlights to football might be okay. Embracing lavender as a primary color in football make me very afraid of days of losing football season after losing football season. That's what K-State was known for when light purple/lavender was associated with Kansas State football, losing. That's my opinion, I could be wrong!
You can’t let superstition keep the program back. People think this stuff doesn’t matter. Go listen to Lincoln Cure talk about Oregon, it matters to the recruits to some extent. Trust the staff and talent on the field, and let the kids have fun.
You look like a 60 year old retired K-State alum 😂 That being said Fitz talked about this a couple weeks ago. I do like the idea and the alternate uniforms look great in lavendar even though its an old lady color.
Well his speed is guaranteed to change based on weekly roster updates. That I’m not worried about. But I do feel confident they’ll get the hair right too. Hard to leave a dude earning Heisman hype messed up in the game
Im not particularly feeling the lavender, i prefer the dark purple, but im not going to throw a fit if they do an alternate uni with mostly lavender, especially of it hypes the guys up. I've thought that an alternate blackout uniform with a matte black helmet and oversized silver powercat would be pretty cool.
Football team is clearly into it, just looking at AJ's car.
You said it brother, hard to avoid the signs!
Only time I don't like it is when the basketball team goes lavender tops and purple shorts. I hate that look.

Maybe it's just me but I'm not a fan of lavender. I like dark royal purple
Totally okay to feel that way. Don’t see the Royal purple going away for as long as the university stands! Thanks for watching!

Agreed here completely! Superstition keeps people from getting ahead in the future. To do something that’s never been done, you have to make a change.
If your team isn’t good wearing certain colors, they probably wasn’t any good to begin with.
Love how KSU basketball players look so good in the lavender! Let’s embrace it and be different for football too!
Absolutely mom!! You said it!
Would be nice to see the all white with Lavender trim.
I can imagine it now haha, can’t wait!!
I'm good with lavender. It's grown on me. But I prefer it as a heavy accent color to the deep purple.
Think that’s a very rational take. Hoping to see some accents this season! Thanks for watching brother!
this made my day!!!!! LAVENDER !!
Glad to hear it man! Thanks for the awesome idea!

lol yessir, I feel like I’m 60 too 😂 appreciate you watching
YES!!!! X 1,000,000,000!!!!
Start with some accent lavender, then let it grow!
Absolutely brother! Thanks so much for watching!
lol you seem pretty sure that EA is going to fix Avery’s hair and speed… I’ve got a feeling EA is going to leave it exactly like it is

@@JoeTillery well I’d certainly love to see all of that happen! Love the channel!

Think those are both rational takes to be honest. It’s not for everyone, but I am extremely pumped for some new custom uniforms
@@JoeTillery I would definitely love to see some alternates every once in a while. Maybe like twice a season or something.
