The uniform featured a gray jersey with dashes of Blue, which pays homage to the Blue Turf of Bronco Stadium. The concept for the uniforms were presented to Boise State, and were based on the history and tradition of Boise State. I was told the final say about the look of the uniforms fell to AD Gene Bleymaier and Coach Chris Petersen. I suspect this may also be the reason for the lack of orange as Coach Pete has been on record as not being fond of the color.

The Media was treated to an assortment of items, one of which included a book that described the thoughts behind the uniforms. The term “Bleed Blue” has been adopted by the players this year and is used on the straps of the game day gloves and on the palms of the hands. The helmet certainly pops with a new, as Crissie Fields says, “beastly” look.

The uniforms are designed accentuate the players physical traits. They are be brighter and stand out on the live HD broadcasts. The Boise State uniform also includes the BSU “B”. Also in grey the “B” is located on the left knee. The uniform is certainly designed with Boise State in mind. If I have a vote I would like to see the Broncos wearing these Nike Uniforms all season, as the gray jerseys will work well on the Blue while the helmets pop, which could hush critics of Boise States current uniform selection, while playing on the blue turf.

The event was not just about Boise State. Nine other teams were invited and of those my favorites included the following:

• Miami – Michael Irvin introduced the U in a special way. The U is all over the uniform and the Orange and Green looks great together.
• Ohio State – Just the military being incorporated into the uniform makes me proud. Like with BSU the helmet will be noticeable come game day.
• TCU – what can you say about these uniforms. They certainly topped last years design with even more

I was honored to be able to view this event in person and see the level of detail in each uniform. I was able to score some interviews. The three available in this post come from Boise State player Jerard Rabb, Mike Waller and Chris Fowler. Unfortunately I had a technical issue with my version of Chis Fowler, but Stan Brewster from Foto 208 was there to capture the conversation.

Also check out the below video from Boise State’s Marketing Team, as well as a slide show of some photos I took. Additionally, check out the Nike site for more in depth coverage and photos.

The event is to take place Wednesday September 1, 2010 at the Skylight West Studios in New York City. The event begins at 10AM Eastern and 8PM Mountain. That day back in Boise, the Blue and Orange Store will have the Nike Pro Combat Series gear for sale. I can also assume so will the Bronco Shop, if they haven’t already.

This is a great opportunity for both Cliff and myself. It is not too often that the Blogging world gets asked to attend event like this. It would appear the other local media types will not be attending, due to ethical issue surrounding Nike providing travel accommodations. They also chose not to attend on their own dime, due to budget constraints.

The funny thing about this event is whether the local media attends or does not attend Nike will still benefit from the coverage. I certainly will be happy to provide a prospective that Brian Murphy and other local media will lack in there coverage.

Either way the event provides fans of Boise State a chance to promote the program yet again on a national stage. I plan to take as many pictures as I can possibly take, while providing as much commentary about the event.

I am due to arrive in New York on Tuesday and will get a chance to meet up with other fellow media types from the 10 schools announced for the 2010 series. For now I am I will get back to packing my bags and will keep you updated on the events over the next 2 days. Go Broncos!!

The guys delve into the Pre Season Rankings. All three can agree Boise State is deserving of its ranking.

Finally we take a look at the “generic” scrimmage this past week.

On a side note I sound like I am 20 feet from the mic. I major mistake on my part and I am sorry for any audio qualities. Of course Travis and Tyler sound great and I think they are the stars of the show anyway.
