I like the logo So everyone has to use the font (courier) that's used for Nebraska's "N" and Alabama's numbers since Tom Osborne and Bear Bryant roamed the fields? Dare I point out that NAU used their new font for their numbers? Quote
Cratter Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 How about the interlocking ND on one side and the Fighting Hawk logo on the other.... If we put numbers on the helmets does that mean we can have last names on the jerseys yet? 1 Quote

Yes and yes. And Notre Dame can go back to their blue, white, and special occasion green uniforms only. Michigan stays the same too. Oregon can be grandfathered in and do whatever the he** they want. Everyone else, get rid of the chrome helmets and 3,247 jersey/pant combinations. Please. 1 Quote

How many teams actually have kept their unis consistent in the past? We've had a huge variety going back to the 1800's. Bama pen st nebraska and Michigan are exceptions. Now that I think of it there's a throwback Und jersey that is on that alerus sideline decal that would be pretty sweet. Quote

Who has kept their uniforms relatively the same over the past 40-50 years? Oh, I don't know, maybe Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Texas, Texas A&M, Florida, Florida State, USC, UCLA, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Ohio State, Wisconsin... 1 Quote

I guess that would be one extreme...or it would look just like the new und helmet posted above but a interlocking ND instead of the numbers because "all after all the symbol of the team is more important than the individual players."

Player numbers are always on the helmet to keep track of whose helmet is whose. It's not like the guys' names are on the helmet Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 logo is fine, helmet is fine, the numbers are fine....next year when everything matches everything will be fine.... remember it could've been a sundog!!!! 2 Quote

It is a crime that it ever got to that point, but that is a completely different conversation altogether. Agreed. I'm pretty upset the Gophers ruined tradition and got away from this logo: and why did they get rid of these jerseys? Apparently tradition means nothing at your beloved U! 2 Quote

But you were fine with destroying tradition with the Fighting Sioux nickname which replaced the Sioux nickname which replaced the Flickertails nickname. Quote
PATRIOT Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Got this helmet for my desk few months back...guess I'll never see the boy play a meaningful game in it. eBay or keep? Quote
Cratter Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Keep it. The mini helmet might appreciate to $30 one day. 1 Quote
