Big A HG Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I may be in the minority, but I'd prefer less black in the future. I think it'd be great to go back to our roots of just using white and kelly for our home and away jerseys...then have a different designed black alternate jersey. So many teams across all levels of hockey have done BFBS (or black for black's sake). Kelly green, on all levels of sports, is the most under-utilized color. Quote

I have no prob with black being 3rd option but not with these new jerseys. Not even close. Once they figure out a better design hope they can get back to that Kelly green! The 97 was the last title team to wear green breezers and helmets right? I was in providence and remember black jerseys/helmets being introduced that year or the year before?? I love the black and agree a different style in black would be awesome for a 3rd option. Just can't stand the new green color/style combos Quote

Just can't stand the new green color/style combos Yeah, for the current jerseys, the black definitely is better, but the green is growing on me. The white and black jerseys are much better in person than in pics, but the green jerseys actually look pretty decent on TV, in my opinion. I still dislike all three. Quote

Yeah very disappointing going from the nicest sweaters in the nation to these. Was it 98, 99 or 00 when they went to black breezers and helmet?? Quote
ScottM Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 That is a nice looking jersey, might get ripped for this but I wouldn't mind seeing the green as the alternate color or at least closer to a 50/50 split...something about a black uniform just says 'badass'. I agree. I've always favored the black unis, over the all-green. The guys remind me of pickles on skates. I really like the Gemini incarnations over the RBK. Quote
MafiaMan Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 They look very blah and the brand doesnt matter but yes they do. Obviously they are replacing the Sioux head decals but you would think they would be in by now or soon. The blacks blow away the green jerseys while we are on topic for road games. Go white and black as the greens have taken a big step back. Dislike X 1000. Go to a St Cloud State/UND game while wearing a black Sioux jersey and you'll blend into the crowd with 6,000 other people. Wear a green Sioux jersey to the X for a Final Five game against the Gophers and you'll be part of an avalanche of green pride. Go green...it's the right thing to do. That being said, I preferred the black jerseys from two seasons ago when the numbers were green outlined in white as opposed to white outlined in green like they are now. 1 Quote

siouxkid12 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 anyone else bid on the gamers today? Quote
Jeremy_und2004 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 anyone else bid on the gamers today? I tried for a few but they got too rich for my blood. Quote
siouxkid12 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 same with me...i was looking at the swifts Quote
Big A HG Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I bid on a few, prices are pretty crazy. I went up to 940 for a Brock Nelson at one point. Quote
siouxkid12 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 someone got a good deal at the beginning on the green LaPoint..... Quote
Big A HG Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 someone got a good deal at the beginning on the green LaPoint..... No kidding. I almost pulled the trigger, but then I thought maybe the first few were going to go slow and I had my eye on the Malone. I wasn't going to buy more than one jersey and figured I'd save my opportunity. Kickin' myself. Quote

I got money in my pocket ready to be spent but I guess I will wait for the next auction.... Quote
Jeremy_und2004 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I was hoping for a swift and a dazzle. but neither happened. Quote

Big A HG Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I have 4 gamers and 1 game-issued Sioux jerseys, and all of them I paid a fraction of what these were going for to get 'em. Quote
Jeremy_und2004 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah supply and demand. I should have bought them when I had the chance when they did the table auctions. Most of those were very reasonable. Not many Fighting Sioux game worn jerseys are left. Quote
zqglmtv Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I have a swift Frattin game worn, a Darcy Zajac black with the A patch game worn and a Gregoire white with the A patch game worn. Would sell any of them. PM me with offers if any ones interested. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 same with me...i was looking at the swifts My dream was the swifts now my dream is dead. Quote
