Spartan combat uniforms unveiled; They are the GREATEST uniform design in the history of football

One of my students just showed this to me after class. Sweet... though it may resemble Oregon's unis too much? NOPE - after further review, these are about the slickest damn uniforms the ES has ever seen.  They should be permanent. Immediately.

The Big Green will sport them when they kick Michigan's overrated arse on October 15. Love the comment on the "Bronze" color embedded throughout the uniform: "BRONZE: The superior weaponry armor and strategy made Spartans legendary warriors. Brother protects brother as the team defends the field. PHALANX."  And, those gloves are amazing.  Ridiculously cool.  Read how Grinz raves about the new uniforms for Mlive.com, and subsequently published over on msuspartans.com.  Wow, these are pretty slick (more static images here).

As stated by the Detroit News: "The uniform, which includes a bronze helmet and black pants, has inscribed in back of the collar the words "Molon Labe," which means "come and take them" in Greek, a classic and defiant expression connected to King Leonidas of Sparta, according to msuspartans.com."
