So your complaint is the football team doesn't have the budget to replace the jerseys every year or.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpaw Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 46 minutes ago, KSSioux said: It is the old font and has nothing to do with "stretching". It is not the font associated with "North Dakota" in the "Fighting Hawks" rollout. Not even close. It is an old North Dakota font. My apologies, you are correct. It seems UND football is using the same jerseys as before since they were ordered prior to the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football team got these jerseys a couple years ago before the new font came out. It is expensive to replace football jerseys. Especially when you have 3 different jerseys per player. Eventually they will get new ones with the new font. What is the point you are trying to make again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the argument was that it isn't fair that football can wear jersey from last year with different letters, but hockey can't wear jersey's from 10 years ago with the Fighting Sioux logo.... but maybe I interpreted that wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the outrage regarding the hockey usage of the logo, why does the football team use a different font for "North Dakota", than what was built around the Fighting Hawks branding? I would think those on here would be "outraged" at the noncompliance. Funny who replied with the excuse. Excuses didn't cut it for him with the hockey team!

If you want to know why the comment was made go to the dust settled new name thread. One of the responders made it clear last year that the excuse of the hockey jersey's being ordered before the name change is "BS"! They just don't want to change...blah blah blah! But now it's an acceptable excuse I guess. Too bad it is so expensive for the football team to buy jersey's, well they need 3 per person. No other team has that expense! You can't make this stuff up! Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 5 hours ago, KSSioux said: Patches look OK (dare I say that the ND/Hawk patch looks great?) - kind of overkill though with the three of them on the front. The tire-tread kind of kills it for me too. EDIT: Just noticed that the little "shadow" under the hawk's neck that (in this case) should be green is totally missing!

I just hope someone is coming up with a better logo then the on the UND paid all that money for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 7 minutes ago, Hardcore Hawk said: Not too shabby. I like the addition of hem stripes on the black jerseys so that's a plus. Put the number in the middle and you have a nice vintage-style look with a modern font. The should patches are the correct logo too and the logo has the white border. I'll give it a B grade pending the armpit stains being removed from what we've seen in the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Did the yoke on the whites have a black trim edge last year? I like it on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only gripe is that we are getting cutesy with the text and I don't like that. I feel like a program like ours is above changes for the sake of change. Too cute for me. .... *get off my lawn* lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you'll see the football jerseys change next year as well - and these look like the basketball jerseys. I'm upping my grade to B+.
