Uniforms
Oklahoma State’s Record With Its 2011-2015 Uniforms
RIP Brandon Weeden Era uniforms. They will always be that to me. They debuted the same season this blog debuted (and really helped launch it), and now they have been laid to rest after the Ole Miss game. It’s fitting that Weeden was the one who introduced a new run of sweet threads in the spring with Dez Bryant and Dan Bailey.
Reader Calvin Downey went back and looked at every uniform combination and subsequent game outcome over the last five seasons. A tall task, but he nailed it. Here’s a look at some of the results (you can check out the full spreadsheet here).
| Helmets | Times Worn | Times Won | Times Lost | Winning Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White | 10 | 9 | 1 | 90% |
| White w/Black OSU | 1 | 1 | 0 | 100% |
| White Stripe w/Black OSU | 5 | 4 | 1 | 80% |
| White Stripe w/Phantom Pete | 3 | 2 | 1 | 67% |
| White Stripe w/Throwback Cowboy | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0% |
| Black | 19 | 12 | 7 | 63% |
| Black w/Phantom Pete | 6 | 4 | 2 | 67% |
| Gray | 3 | 3 | 0 | 100% |
| Carbon Fiber Gray | 5 | 3 | 2 | 60% |
| Orange | 3 | 3 | 0 | 100% |
| Orange w/Pete | 2 | 2 | 0 | 100% |
| Orange Chrome | 5 | 3 | 2 | 60% |
| Icy White | 1 | 1 | 0 | 100% |
| White Stripe w/Throwback OSU | 1 | 1 | 0 | 100% |
| Jerseys | Times Worn | Times Won | Times Lost | Winning Percentage |
| Orange | 16 | 12 | 4 | 75% |
| Black | 18 | 15 | 3 | 83% |
| Gray | 2 | 2 | 0 | 100% |
| White | 29 | 19 | 10 | 66% |
| Pants | Times Worn | Times Won | Times Lost | Winning Percentage |
| Orange | 14 | 9 | 5 | 64% |
| Black | 23 | 15 | 8 | 65% |
| Gray | 11 | 11 | 0 | 100% |
| White | 17 | 13 | 4 | 76% |
My favorite combo was the Black-White-Orange (see above) which OSU went 1-2 in (losses to Iowa State and Kansas State and one insanely great win over OU). As Downey pointed out, OSU went 11-0 in gray pants. 11-0! It also went 2-0 in gray jerseys. OSU never lost when wearing gray. MAKE OSU ORANGE AGAIN THOUGH!
This was a fun look at what were pretty easily the best OSU uniforms of my lifetime. You can look at the different combos here and see how OSU did in them. Good work by Downey.
