Northwestern's New Alternate Uniforms Stir Controversy



Northwestern will be wearing special uniforms next Saturday when they take on the Michigan Wolverines. However, their uniforms are the center of a controversy that's already gotten national attention. If you look at the picture above, you can see that the uniform design features blood-spatter on the gloves. No big deal, right? Well it doesn't stop there. That same blood-spatter is also on the helmets that Northwestern will be wearing next Saturday, as you can see in this picture below:



The uniforms also feature blood-spatter on the shoes & socks, as you can see in this picture:



Honestly, I don't have a problem with the uniforms. I think they look pretty cool. It saddens me to see that the uniform is being scrutinized instead of respected & appreciated. A simple gesture to honor the men & women who put their lives on the line to protect our rights & freedoms has turned into an ugly controversy. In my opinion, the sports world should just leave the uniforms alone. They were obviously made to honor our nations troop - not disrespect them.
