Huh?

Don't get all Nike on this!

As opposed to uniforms like these? I'm with DaveK. This should be a no-brainer!

Cmon, Diggler, Nike force-feeds us crap like the Miami Hurricanes, Oregon State Beavers (or is that Miami University Northwest?), and Oregon Ducks and you think those are good uniforms? HORRIBLE!

Has anyone signed Gino Toretta yet?

I thought the same thing and wondered to myself, "boy, would that guy with the white gloves on in all the NHL commercials be MAD!"

Whoo'djoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

Good grief...when I read the title of this thread, I thought that even though it's 85 and sunny in Minneapolis, that somehow, somewhere, someway, North Dakota was getting snow.

This had nothing to do with futility or shaking things up and everything to do with not a single superstar name on the team which translates into low merchandise sales which translates into uniform change so the folks that already OWN a Viking uniform are compelled to go out and buy a "new" one. Correction. Everyone STILL hates the Broncos/Hurricanes look!

From this... ...to this? You've got to be kidding! I'll spot you that the purple pants is an OK change, but why go purple pants if you're going to make 1/3 of them white, blocky, yellow stripe, Viking logo...the uniform is a MESS! Contrast that with the Steelers player in the last photo...XFL meets NFL.

It's not Mike's fault. I'd get sick wearing those hideous uniforms too.

I quoted my own post here so you could find where I wrote about the past two Sioux seasons being "failures" and point it out for me. Much appreciated. Again, at the beginning of the season, people were certainly thinking the Sioux had a great shot at getting to the Frozen Four, simply on the basis of it being hosted by REA. If you were so certain Michigan and Minnesota were going to defeat the Sioux, why did you plunk down the $$$$ for your ticket to the games? I drove from Minneapolis/St Paul because I had no doubts I was going to watch some great hockey.

I think that pre-season expectations raised the bar pretty high. Given the success of "host schools" advancing to the Frozen Four, I think the majority of fans would have said "yes, this team has not only the talent but also a great opportunity to advance."

Can't we just go back to KESSEL UPDATE, PCM?

Truly, we have reached a new low.

Maybe if they were the "Clown Boxers"?

How about the Purple-Headed Warriors?

OK, no problem. You are correct in that given that 169 runs basically right thru the middle of St Peter, that someone wasn't crossing the street at that time of night or had been driving someplace between there and Mankato or the results could have been a lot more disastrous for Mr. Robinson.

Oh now that's funny. Very funny.

Is the word "chicken" similarly offensive? What about "clown"? Or "weasel"?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. What exactly are you inferring by your use of the word 'monkey'? The school I really liked was Carthage College removing a feather from it's "C" and calling themselves the Red Men instead of Redmen and having sensitivity training to ensure that students and faculty know there is NO association with Native American imagery. What a crock.

I hear there's a lot of rumors going on so I wanted to make sure you all know...yes, the truth is, Phil Kessel is turning pro...

Just for the record, here was the "old" football helmet. Clearly, even the the casual fan can see how much more offensive this is than the Florida State Seminoles helmet.

My critique: Politically correct: Check Meaningless symbol sure to offend no one: Check Pointless name such as Sun, Fever, Shock, Heat, Miracle, or Magic: Check Overall grade: A+

In one of several odd tests conducted by their organization, the New York Islanders observe Phil Kessel as he passes with flying colors the most difficult test of all at the recent NHL combine...the old pouring milk up your nostril and squirting it out your eye trick!
