Frankly, I think it would be a perfect time to drop a new jersey. Fighting Sioux Forever Snowflakes Quote

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. Quote

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” 1 3 Quote

I mean, your comment literally telling someone how they were wrong about a new jersey and the that the athletic department needs to protect people's feelings started the derailing. But easier to play victim I suppose. 6 1 Quote
dakotaKid92 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 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 1 Quote

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... Quote

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! 4 Quote

MafiaMan Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 I've always been a fan of "less is more" when it comes to hockey jerseys. The BU and Notre Dame home jerseys come to mind quickly. 1 Quote

Langster019 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 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. 1 2 Quote
und1995 Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 How did you get them personalized? Do they supply jerseys or do you have to send in your own? Quote
coltssiouxfan Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 What are y’alls thoughts on the Nike black jerseys? I can never decide if I like it or not. Quote

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. 1 Quote

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. Quote

Authentics at the sioux shop orders the jersey kits from EPS and just heat presses them on. 2 Quote
