geaux_sioux Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 How hard can it be to send in the color of the helmets to Adidas and get the jerseys to match the helmet? Is it the fault of Adidas for not matching or whoever coordinated the ordering of the uniforms as they didn't communicate the helmet color to Adidas? Matching colors of different materials under different light conditions is brutally hard. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Matching colors of different materials under different light conditions is brutally hard.I find find it pretty funny that last year our jerseys were too light and the helmets were too dark, and now this year it is the other way around!! How come other schools seem to be able to figure this out?!! Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Matching colors of different materials under different light conditions is brutally hard.The green jerseys will always be worn in the Alerus Center, so I would guess that would be the lighting condition; not varied at all. Hopefully they don't look as mismatched as it seems they might. Quote
Boomer 40AAA Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Tell me once when a football jersey color was the deciding factor in a game. You wear what they provide. If the helmets don't match we can still win the game. Let's just start playing bubba ball and smother them with a swarming defence Quote
CMSioux Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 What "Nancy" is worried about whether or not the uniform matches - stop wasting 10 minutes every day matching your belt to your shoes and learn something useful like smoking a pork butt. 2 Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 That white jersey with green pants will look so good beating the bizonis that what they call getting run out of the building nowadays? On a serious note... White pants are way cooler than black. Always have been, always will be. 3 Quote
GreenWing Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 is that what they call getting run out of the building nowadays? On a serious note... White pants are way cooler than black. Always have been, always will be. Good luck today, Hook 'em horns! 1 1 Quote

I'm as excited as anyone in terms of what Bubba has going on with schemes and expectations. With that said, it's still upsetting that the uniform thing can't get done right the first time. NDSU, SDSU, USD, Montana, Montana State, etc. have no problems with this. Quote

GeauxSioux Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I didn't care for the matte helmets the first time I saw them. They have grown on me.. Nice look with white uniforms. Quote
UNDColorado Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I didn't care for the matte helmets the first time I saw them. They have grown on me.. Nice look with white uniforms.I thought they looked great in person. Looking forward to seeing the greens this weekend. Quote
Hambone Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 So, I thought I saw somewhere (too lazy to look) that we also have green pants. Are we going to go with the all green look at home or is it more of an alternate pant that may be worn a couple times a year? Anyone know? Quote
Sioux94 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I thought they looked great in person. Looking forward to seeing the greens this weekend.I also was a bit unsure of the matte helmets and wasn't that crazy about them. But in watching some of the video highlights, I liked how it looked with our white jerseys. Will be interesting to see how they look with the green tops. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 The one thing I have noticed that on almost every play players shoulder pads fall out of the jersey. 1 Quote
HIGG90 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I don't know if it has been touched on or not, but has anyone heard anything about alternative uniforms? I used to work with one of the seniors from last year's football team and this summer he said that they were getting matte grey helmets and grey uniforms as well.

For this season, its green and white jerseys. Quote

ericpnelson Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Everything is relative... did anyone see Hawaii's new uniforms? Our's may be the best to come out this year now, in my eyes. Quote

ClassB Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 If you're into those, I'm sure we could do something very similar when Sundawgs is voted on in October. Quote
southpaw Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I have said from the get-go that there is no chance the helmet and jersey colors will match. Unless they repaint the helmets, which is the problem in the first place. The green on the helmet is just off.After seeing the pictures of the uniforms under sunlight vs fluorescent light, I have to agree. I can't see the helmets matching. How hard can it be to send in the color of the helmets to Adidas and get the jerseys to match the helmet? Is it the fault of Adidas for not matching or whoever coordinated the ordering of the uniforms as they didn't communicate the helmet color to Adidas?

With that said, it's still upsetting that the uniform thing can't get done right the first time. NDSU, SDSU, USD, Montana, Montana State, etc. have no problems with this. Certainly looked like the helmets and jerseys matched. But welcome to UND, where the fans bitch about everything. Quote
MadScout03 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Hey pal, don't quote me as "bitching" about anything. I was simply pointing out my observation. Big difference. Quote
bincitysioux Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I'm no uniform rube, but I thought they looked sharp. 2 Quote
