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.  That’s enough for me at this point in time.

Sad. 
 

Having been to three games this season, all on the road, I heard at every game opposing fans yelling “you aren’t the Sioux anymore!” Was one of those “funny because it’s true moments”

 

And same. Will rep the Sioux but some take it too far, even 5+ years down the road.

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. 

#1Rule: Know your audience.

What exactly do you mean that they wouldn't "take kindly"? Are they going to run back to their hotel room in horror? Are they going to let a jersey ruin their entire trip and prevent them from any enjoyment?

It is amusing how the "rules" on how the athletic department should be able to market the actual nickname and official logo of the University continue to change just so a certain subset of the fan base don't get their feelings hurt. At some point, they need to rip the band-aid off and people are going to have to just deal with it. They can wear or yell whatever they want, but other fan bases have a point:  “You aren’t the Sioux anymore”

Yeah... one comment and the triggered Hawkzis show up in force .. furiously flocking to the keyboards and usernames to defend their superior opinion and tell everyone else how wrong they are.

There is a significant amount of money being left on the table. Give me a throwback jersey like the diagonal SIOUX that says HAWKS with as minimal postage logo as possible (or even missing it). 
 

I’m really surprised that cool vintage look stuff like this hasn’t been showing up in small quantities in the back corners of the siouxshop to test the waters. 
 

If only someone knew how to get quality sweaters made

It almost seems as if there may be some driving force behind the team not adopting some jerseys that would say Hawks diagonally. I think someone would win the jackpot if they could just figure out what it is...

Yikes!  One comment about a vintage style HAWKS jersey similar to the 1950’s diagonal SIOUX jersey being introduced in 2020 makes me a part of the supposed Antifa-like “triggered Hawkzis” crowd?  Is there such a group?  
 

The mere mention of putting the Hawk logo on the front of a current jersey riles up the “Sioux Forever” crowd so much that you’d think it was a proposal to blow up the Hrkac and Duncan Hobey Baker trophies!

Crazy isn’t it, need to make a safe space for those people.

I think something like this would look good. I don’t mind the currents with a number but would look good without too. And I’m in the minority that likes the current font and it would look good like this done right. IMO.

I need to read more carefully,  I thought the hawkzis were pro hawks hooligans

Back to the topic of the thread.

Got some sweaters back from EPS and while they took super long and I was disappointed I couldn't wear in Minneapolis, they still look nice.

Since EPS won't do current players, this will have to wait to have SENDEN added.

This was a gift personalized with my name, so I had them take off mine and put on GERSICH.

And a recent pick up kind of fitting with the recent hype surrounding Nashville.

How did you get them personalized? Do they supply jerseys or do you have to send in your own?

I send in my own. I don’t think they sell jerseys. Just do customization. But I don’t trust anyone else, but also haven’t used anyone else either.

This comparison shows me how bad the hem and sleeve stripes are on the new set.  That 2011 white jersey is almost perfect with the thinner white stripes, but the black jersey is overwhelmed by the thicker stripes.  That top green stripe almost touches the lettering in DAKOTA and the number 19 on the back seems scrunched into the space available.  Fix that issue alone and the 2018-2019 black jersey would look infinitely better.

Keep in mind the new blacks don’t have the waist band stripes.

Sorry, those were last year’s blacks.  Now they went the opposite direction and look bare.

I’m indifferent. Like them all. Part of me likes how it makes the number look so big. Going from Reebok to CCM to Adidas does nothing but lighten my wallet. :D

What is this EPS company? I'm looking to get some jerseys named and numbered. Is it as expensive as Authentics at the Sioux Shop? Thanks!

Its called Exclusive Pro Sports in Illinois. It's about 70+ bucks a jersey but at least it is done to on ice specs and looks good. Authentics at the sioux shop orders the jersey kits from EPS and just heat presses them on.
