If we were creating a jersey from scratch, matching the helmet, sleeve, and pants stripes would make sense. But we have a traditional look to our sleeves. Its the only thing that differentiates our plain 2 color jerseys from any random college team, like Nebraska. You have to keep that look intact.
The gold is what really makes the uniform stand out. Having that third color is what differentiates our uniforms from teams like Nebraska or Wisconsin (which are just red and white).
That's one reason why I don't mind the changes to the stripes. A lot of players haven't worn the third stripe on their uniforms, so it's pretty much been gone for a while. See Hyde's uniform below
