Jerseys

Those jerseys that Western wore last night were... something else. Not the classiest military tribute I've seen.

Time for UND to introduce a whole new alternative outfit including helmets and gloves. 

The new special occasion blacks if you will. 

Let the players design it. Bust them out for frozen four games.

Not classy? What am I missing?

Agree. I thought they were pretty sharp.

Maybe the wrong word. Just quite garrish and  over-the-top. Seemed like it was designed as a parody of military appreciation jerseys. A patch on their regular jerseys? Fine. Even a nicely designed specialty jersey would be OK. The waving flag on the bottom of the jersey was out of place, the one in the Broncos logo made it indiscernible,  having the seals of all the branches was unnecessary, and the silhouettes made the whole thing look like a "support our troops" bumper sticker designed in 2003 in MS paint. It's great for them to have a military tribute jersey, but the design is pretty tacky imo.

It was the anniversary of Pearl Harbor...what’s the problem?

Not the fact that they wore the jerseys, but the design was tacky and lacked taste.

Gotcha.  They’re a little gaudy for my taste too.

I believe that’s a helicopter partially covered up by the NCHC and W patches...kind of overkill on the design.

I was disapointed by the lack of a flag cape and bald eagles.

That is a helicopter? It looks like a rich woman wearing a Kentucky Derby hat....

I am still not sure what the ink blob under the C in the video is...

I think it's supposed to be a fighter jet

a steel Grey (gray?) set would be cool to see, football uniforms with that color are pretty cool and pop with the Kelly green

Penn State busted these out in I believe 2015 - the kelly green would certainly pop more than that dark blue of PSU does.

Eek, I just can't do grey hockey jerseys. They look like dirty white jerseys to me.

Those are their best jerseys, just need to fix the strips that don't complete on the jersey.

Those were from a few years ago - the 2019 set has PENN STATE diagonally across the ront - no stripes on the front or the back.

UND needs to come out with jerseys with Hawks diagonally in front with a small number on the front.

Only if they mimic the retro ones. So many teams try to replicate that style and the only team I have good thoughts on, in my opinion, are the NY Rangers. 
 

not that it’s bad, just so many seem to whiff. Whether it’s the font or sizing idk I just am not a huge fan of that

The fanatic types of fans that travel like crazy is not the crowd to take kindly to a new "Hawks" jersey.... 

There may be a time for that, Nashville isnt it. Will push acceptence back considerably. Bot a argyment or debate on the name/logo or issues well discussed in the other forumns. Just the truth, doesnt matter what side of it your opinion lies on, its just not the avenue to advance any campaign.

I'm so confused why the football program is using gray. It doesn't even look good. Well to me at least. It's not a school color so why use it? Maybe an alternate one with pink lol

So when is a good time to ease the “fanatic” into a Hawks jersey?  Would 2079 work OK?  The “Sioux Forever” crowd can’t keep using a pacifier much longer, can they?  Why wouldn’t a vintage looking white jersey with a diagonal HAWKS down the front with the logo on the left sleeve be a good idea?

If people dropping thousands of dollars to go to a destination game have their experience ruined by the team unveiling a new jersey and send them running to a safe space because it has a bird logo or word on it, I think that says a hell of a lot more about them than anything else.

Frankly, I think it would be a perfect time to drop a new jersey.

As previously written, I enjoyed my experience in Mankato at the Friday night game, but it was unfortunate to watch some of the pro-Sioux mob shout down anyone yelling “Hawks” in a cheer.  
 

I love wearing my Sioux jerseys around just as much as the next fan, but it’s not the nickname anymore.  The colors are still green, white, and black and we even have cool era-specific banners in the rafters now.  That’s enough for me at this point in time.
