MafiaMan Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Read today where the U of Miami Hurricanes signed a contract with Addidas in January for new uniforms and they were just revealed. They have 3 different sets in Orange, Green, and White giving them 9 combinations. Also the fabric used will (supposedly) make it harder for them to be tackled. The word "Miami" is very prominent in the front. Very sharp! Nice if UND does as well with its design from Addidas. With all due respect, I hope not! Quote
siouxfan512 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Surprised it is taking this long to get some pictures of these jerseys. Let's see them! Quote
UNDColorado Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 When the blacks were unveiled they waited until fall camp. Likely what they will do here. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 When the blacks were unveiled they waited until fall camp. Likely what they will do here. They don't have them in yet. We'll see them when they receive them from Adidas. For example, Will Ratelle was wearing last year's Nike jersey at the media session. Quote
Finn flick Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 With all due respect, I hope not! Oops, all I saw was the Jersey. I have to say the pants are pretty busy to say the least. I love the color green they used. Shoulder caps could be toned down a bit too but all in all the color combos are awesome. Quote

Sioux94 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Honestly, I'm a little scared to see them. Not sure if I'm going to like the green on green if that is what it's going to be. I think the matt helmets are a bit boring, I know it goes with the identify of our team though as a grind it out team though. We talk about how we need these uniforms to impress recruits, I have a feeling our new uniforms will likely be a bit boring. Not that I want a super wild and crazy uniform, but for an alternate uniform.....I wouldn't mind at least a little bit of flash. Will be curious to see them when they come out though! Quote

Sioux94 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I'm just trying to keep my expectations low, and am hoping I am pleasantly surprised when I see them lol. I'm glad the players seem to like them, that is a good sign. You and some others have a closer feel as to if they really like them......or if they are being politically correct and just saying that. Even if they were horrible, I doubt you'd ever hear a player say it too much in public that they didn't like them. Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 hope the reaction to the new jersey is something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAOfNEBZbE4 Quote

Even if they were horrible, I doubt you'd ever hear a player say it too much in public that they didn't like them. The player I talked to would tell me if they didn't like it. The way he sounded, they all absolutly love it. Words like "sick" "dope" and "fire" are tossed around. Quote
MafiaMan Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Words like "sick" "dope" and "fire" are tossed around. Sick, dope, and fire? Those are the hip new buzzwords today? Quote

Shoulder caps could be toned down a bit too but all in all the color combos are awesome. I could almost live with the jerseys...but those pants? It looks like Sebastian the Ibis puked up leftover peas and carrots all over them. Quote

Sioux94 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Well I guess I was wrong then.....if I was thinking maybe they would be boring.....sure doesn't sound like they are! Now I'm even more curious to see them! Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 Sick, dope, and fire? Those are the hip new buzzwords today? Technically they are... However I was just joking. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Don't want to go back and read. Just what is the adidas deal? Is it done and if so what does it get us? What is it worth? Quote
MafiaMan Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I sure hope UND releases their new jerseys before the season opener! Quote
sioux24/7 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I have to imagine tomorrow is the day we finally get to see these things. Quote
siouxfan512 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Still nothing on the new uniforms? Really was hoping we would get to see them today. Quote
MafiaMan Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Having seen the abominations that Adidas has released for Nebraska and Texas A&M, I'm now fearing the worst for North Dakota... 1 Quote
GreenWing Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 We've heard the players love them and that's the important thing. Also, weren't the A&M and Nebraska jerseys alternates? They always seem to go over the top on those. I'm assuming UND will have a much more simple look for their primary jerseys but who knows. Can't wait to see them! 1 Quote
petey23 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I also noticed from pictures of the Mens basketball team from Europe that they still seem to be looking like a NIke team. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I also noticed from pictures of the Mens basketball team from Europe that they still seem to be looking like a NIke team.... And that's because of Brian Jones' ignorance. A department-wide Adidas deal would have so many benefits, such as supplied gear and outfitted consistency, but Jones just doesn't get it. It's one of many reasons why Jones is a bad coach and will be gone after this season. 2 Quote
