Irish Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Wow I know people have complained about the color difference between the helmets and jerseys but I've never really noticed it until that picture. Good thing they are doing something about it! Can't wait for football! God I hope they match the jerseys to the helmet instead of the other way around.

UND-FB-FAN Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Difference between the colors: new color is on the left, old on the right. Definitely will match the jerseys better, and is a more true kelly green. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say, though - I hate the new pea green - matching the helmets doesn't make this color any better - Look at our old jerseys to see what color they should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 UND's official green color is defined by UND under the Pantone Matching System. (Pantone is an industry standard color matching system.) UND's official green color is Pantone 347 (also known as PMS 347).

UND's official green color is Pantone 347 (also known as PMS 347). You can find that here: http://www.fmrincorp...PColorChart.pdf The color will look different depending on the material. It will look different on gloss paper compared to matte. It is going to be almost impossible to get a helmet to look exactly the same color as a jersey. The new helmet color is closer to the 347 than the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely will match the jerseys better, and is a more true kelly green. Not that they are trying to match the hockey uniform, but which helmet is closer to this color?? It looks to me like the new helmet is closer to what the color should be. Edit: The new helmet also matches my avatar color.

Siouxperfan7 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I think its funny how for years people were complaing how horrible it lookes that the helmets didn't match the jerseys. Now that they are changing it to do that, people are still pissed. Some people will just never be please I guess! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our green is supposed to be Kelly green like it is now, not forest green like NDSU. And the color is nowhere near pea green, its just a change. I guess if you want them to look like they used to you can stay at home and change the saturation and brightness on your tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone was still skeptical of new jerseys becoming a reality, this should put that to rest. I'm wondering if there will be some sort of unveiling of the jerseys. I am definitely excited to see them and hopefully they will be a plus for recruiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoHawks! Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 This is the most excitement, by far, for a football opener that I can remember. New conference, new turf, new uni's/helmets, and top talent and a great home schedule all add up to me being very very pumped for UND football!

VMeister Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Any thoughts on whether they're going to put names on the back of the jerseys? I think it would help for TV and recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I'd say the jersey matches the helmet much more than it matches the peas...this should make the helmet/jersey combo appear much improved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 what i don't understand is if we are getting new uniforms (all black or majority black) why are we worried matching helmets to old jerseys that won't be worn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoHawks! Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I would assume the new jerseys are alternates. I would think so. I have already heard the Montana game being talked about as a "blackout". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillySioux Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If UND spends money on black "alternates" and doesn't replace the primary home and away unis, that is a fail. The uniforms of the past few years are generic and cheap looking. There are teams in the EDC that dress better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
