    New Uniforms?

    in Men's Hockey

    Posted

    How about we keep the logo and be the BRAVE.

    With that we already have the end of the anthem covered. Land of the free and home of the BRAVE.

    P.S. Is it the name AND logo we have to get rid of?

    Correct, both the logo and name

    What will happen to the Nickle?

    With the Sioux name and logo being changed, I was wondering what will happen to the Nickle trophy? We all know it is only a matter of time before UND and NDSU meet in football and it would be too bad if the trophy is altered.

    QUOTE (Big A HG @ May 16 2009, 01:47 PM) *

    Something I whipped up out of boredom waiting for graduation to start....

    Anyone like?

    There are two parallel shoulder stripes, one is showing on the front, one on the back. I used the, what I presume, will be our new "ND" logo on the front. And, of course, with green pants smile.gif

    My goal was to make something a little more "PC" friendly for our coming years.

    I Like this look!!! but I would Make "North" and "Dakota" the same size, and put the ND logo in the middle of it. just going from what that would look like in my mind but I think it would look ok. I def think North and Dakota would have to be the same size.

    I love the green jerseys! The throwback to the '50's is very cool especially if the fit were more of the swift style which in my opinion mimics the form fit of the old sweaters. I would like this style in the black as well.

    I think the white jerseys from Big HG are very nice as well. i would like to see a white design with the only the ND over the state logo on the front.

    Jerseys

    He's advertising and promoting a jersey that is an illegal counterfeit (an inaccurate one at that). If he wants to buy the jersey and wear it, fine. I don't condone it, but if he wants to do that's fine. These jerseys (among the many other counterfeit products out there) are problems for the economy and sometimes can easily fool an uneducated person that may think they are authentic. The problem I have with it is advertising it on this website primarily because it's illegal for the product to be sold.

    If he wasn't advertising it, he wouldn't have put it on this website, with the sellers name, and a link to the auction (where the seller has many other counterfeit jerseys listed as well).

    I'm sorry to have offended you. My intent wasn't malicious. I simply enjoyed the jersey I purchased.

    I do not feel that I am advertising as I have nothing to gain by my above post. I will not get a kick-back, money, or any other type of value. In the future I will not post a link to any thing on E-bay unless I am the one selling the item.

    However, I don't feel responsible for the downfall of the American economy because I chose to purchase a jersey posted on a legal site. I happen to be a big Sioux and Toews fan. I am also a student who can not afford to throw $200 at a jersey right now. Of course, if money was no object I would purchase an authentic jersey over any other type of jersey.

    I understand that counterfeiting is probably a large problem for this country but I think an argument could also be made that companies like Reebok, Nike, or any other large brand that mark up the value of products to 5 times or more of their actual cost of production may also be to blame. There is no way that the authentic Reebok Edge Jonathan Toews jerseys (on shop.nhl.com) cost anywhere close to $379.99. If I had to guess, I would be surprised if those jerseys even cost $50 to make. If their jerseys were priced at only 2 or 3 times cost people would buy more products and would also make counterfeiting less profitable. More products sold would equal more jobs. Also, Reebok has shut down five hockey production plants in Canada and outsourced production to, you guessed it, China making their mark-up even more unbelievable.

    Yeah, there are a few things just from a quick glance that you can tell are off:

    -Number font is wrong

    -Name is off-center with the numbers

    -Should C-patch is not accurate

    -Jersey was never produced by RBK

    -Materials and striping look a bit off as well

    Then, throw in the fact it's only $39 and from Asia, and it's not even a question really. I'd recommend taking it down. Last night, I actually was watching something on like MSNBC or CNN on how counterfeit products affect our economy to the tune of about 750,000 jobs and billions of dollars lost. Hence, the reason I think the jersey should be taken down from the site.

    As a clarifier, I am not selling this jersey nor do I believe it to be authentic. I am simply stating that it is a nice jersey that I think is worth the price I paid. I do not think every jersey I own should cost over $200 like the authentic Reebok Edge jerseys, nor should they cost $95 like the Nike Swift replicas which in my opinion are of less quality than this Asian jersey.

    As a side note, nothing is more fake than Michael Jackson's nose

    Black Uniforms for the Football Team

    in Football

    I personally like black jerseys. Every time I create UND on one of them college football video games I always have black as their main home jersey. Alternate is black top with green pants. I always throw in some pink, as a highlight, which would be cool to see on the ones the AD does, if they are doing black. I imagine that they're following suit (no pun intended) of the hockey team with their swift jerseys, which they should wear more.

    I would like to see UND do some breast cancer awareness jerseys during an exhibition hockey game or non-conference game using pink accents or pink jerseys and then auction them. It would be a great fund-raiser and it would use one of the primary UND colors.

    Enjoy the final 4 games of Duncan's UND career! He has done much more than anyone ever expected and I think he has proven himself to be one of the best in UND history.

    I will certainly miss him shooting form "his spot"!

    Poll Position?

    I know the polls aren't the most important thing but it still surprises me that DU remains ahead of us.

    Records begining with the DU @ UND series:

    DU 5-4-2

    UND 7-1-2 with UND getting 3 of 4 points from DU

    Who knew winning less then half of your recent games would keep you in the top 5?

    Anyone know of Former Sioux players who sign through the mail?

    Mike Commodore signed the 'Commodore and the Cup' print from when he brought the cup to Grand Forks in less than 1 week!

    I sent the print care of the BlueJackets and included a stamped, self addressed mailing tube. He signed it with a silver paint sharpie that I sent. The signature looks great and matches the color of the Cup it is a great addition to my Sioux collection!

    Thanks Mike
