I've watched that games highlight film a ton this offseason. Knipp threw 2 or three interceptions that game. Santiago also racked up the rushing yards. Is it football season yet? Quote
77iceman Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I always felt that not having the player name on the back made a statememt..."we're a team, not individuals". or maybe no names on the jersey helps justify getting a program. Quote

I totally agree! Not to nitpick but I have been watching a lot of the UND FB archived games on Eversport this summer, and it was actually the second play from scrimmage. The first was a roll out pass to a slot receiver for minimal gain. Reyes totally blew up that first play. The next play was the perfect pass to Labat. 1 Quote
Longtime fan Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Because they're just a number to the coaching staff..... I kid I kid Quote

Personalized jerseys cost money and limits the ability to slap a jersey on a freshly burned Red shirt player. But beyond tradition, it's all about saving $ Quote

bincitysioux Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I have always said I would like to see names on the backs of jerseys. Makes it easier for the casual fans to identify with players. If I had a nickel for every time a neighboring fan asked me "which one is Santiago/Hardin/Rattell/Treanbeth/Anderson/Grossman/Hendrickson/Dressler/etc...." I'd be a wealthy guy. At the very least I think the road unis should have the player names on the back...... 2 Quote

77iceman Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I still feel that not having the name on the back makes a statement of "playing for a team, not for the individual". Shows some humility and maybe a bit of Lone Ranger attitude . . . "who was that guy that just knocked me out of my socks?" I could see this as being part of Bubba's style. Programs. Just get a program with the roster listing and you'll be ok. My favorite uni is still the all-green look . . . pants, helmet, jersey . . . that was pretty tough looking. 3 Quote

Agree with all of this and will add that a football field is a lot bigger than a hockey arena. Not sure how easy it would be to read the names off the back of the jerseys all that often. I use a program or even the UND app with the roster pulled up on my phone if I need to know who a player is. Quote

Old School Guy Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 No as a follow-up comment. We can afford to put names on the back of youth football jerseys. Make the kids pay for their own or parents. No cost to school. I'm sure it would boost morale and pride even more to have their family name on back of the jerseys. I never equate that to bring less of a team first guy. Quote
Fetch Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 Like I want to remember that many names & #S or spend that much time looking at a program 2 Quote
