The Hogs Have Something Special Up Their Sleeves... Er... Pants

Being the savvy fans that we are, I'm sure all of us here at Arkansas Fight knew that the Razorbacks hadn't revealed every detail about the sleek, new uniforms from Nike. They dazzled us with a new secondary logo and just enough uniform pictures to keep us complacent till the start of football season. We knew there was more, but we were ok with not knowing.

There were many questions remaining after the presentation, however. Where was the anthracite? Surely we won't only see the new logo on the front collar...

At this point many of you may be saying, "Oh, ya... I think I remember seeing that...". I was unaware these existed. And in all honesty, I wasn't too thrilled with the idea. I had grown fond of the clean look of the new uniforms.

But, there is still some hope for those like me who wanted a crisp Hog uniform like the one on display. Well, if the original pictures are any indication, we could come out lucky with just a subtle Nike swoosh across the thigh.

Now, if these uniforms are to remain unchanged, I'm willing to bet we will see these TreDCALs tucked neatly beneath an anthracite jersey sometime later this Fall. Here's hopin!
