Uncle_Rico Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I noticed on my ticket for this weekends series vs Northeastern it sayed thowback weekend on them. I take it they are going to wear the old uniforms. If so hopefully it's the old Blackhawk ones. Anybody know anything about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxguyinstpaul Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 probably won't be the Blackhawk ones - rather the ones with SIOUX written diagonally across the chest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Rico Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 It will probably be the ones from the early Nintys with just North Dakota across so they can reuse them when the NC$$ tournament starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How boring! Yawn! I think We/UND should wear blank jersey's!(for any tournaments away from UND) Is there a rule a team must have lettering or a logo? I wonder how the NCAA could make any $$$ off a blank jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe NCAA will overlook their own policy if there are $ to be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9siouxfan9 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 They'll probably wear the green jerseys, with Sioux written across the chest and it ties up....I say we wear the sioux logo for as long as we can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadan Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I would be extremely surprised if we showed up this weekend and the jerseys are not our "Playoff Jerseys". Obviously UND needs jersey's that do not have the nickname and logo for the playoffs. They don't want to wait until the week before playoff's start to get them. The school is probably just trying to turn this into a positive. Wear the jersey's once or twice during the season to help get your moneys worth. Also to let the fans see them during the season so that it is not as big of a deal come playoffs. Invite back some Alumni and call it "Throwback Weekend". Has the team worn any throwback jerseys in the last few years that they could possibly be pulling out of storage for the weekend? The only thing I can think of is the exhibition game in the old Ralph right before the new arena opened up. Didn't they wear throwback jerseys that game?

Not because of any physical impossibility or difficulty, but because of the very idea. It would imply all kinds of things that we're not willing to have implied." I doubt that Kupchella is any more willing to imply something now than he was then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think of one UND "throwback" jersey that would pass muster with the NCAA's latest dance with PC --> the (ugly) block letters Kendall Baker "North Dakota" models. Of course, "Dakota" is a tribal name .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like UND will wear their regular jersey with a big patch over the name and logo. It'll be an alternate jersey that doesn't explicitly cover anything up. The "coverup" will be implicit by the absence of the logo and the word 'Sioux'. Chuck might be more comfortable with the idea of an implicit coverup (at least on a temporary basis until the issue is resolved in court). If push comes to shove and this issue is not favorably resolved come playoff time, my hunch is that UND would comply with the rule and wear an alternate jersey. Unless, of course, they are able to obtain a temporary restraining order while the case is in litigation. In any event, it's entirely possible that this throwback weekend and the accompanying jersies were planned before this NCAA nickname fiasco. In fact, I bet they simply recycle the jersies they wore against UMD a couple years back (the Prpich-Peluso series). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 They auctioned off the jerseys from the UND-UMD game. I know this because the stupid kid said only suite holders were allowed to bid on them, so I was no allowed to. Only to find out he was full of crap and I could've got a jersey for cheap.

Diggler Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 You are forgetting that this is a money making opportunity for UND, PCM. Why introduce the alternate jersey in March at the NCAA playoffs when you can introduce it now in October? It gives people 5 months to buy the new alternate jersey. Jersey geeks, like me, will buy the dumb thing. If UND waits until the final ruling on what jerseys they can wear to do something, they might be able to wear their regular jerseys. That means one less jersey they'd be selling in the pro shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I just visited the siouxshop.com site and they are selling the jerseys from 1947 (I think). They are white and kelly green and have a small logo, then in a semi circle SIOUX on the front. I bet that's what you'll be seeing this weekend. Either way...GO SIOUX!

Smoggy Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I doubt they are wearing the new NCAA cover up jerseys, because I can't imagine they'd get an order in time. Buning had mentioned that they'd have had to order the jerseys in August just to hopefully get them by April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxMeNow Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'll say it again...in case anyone missed it...throwback weekend WILL be misconstrued as UND backing off the indian head logo...maybe only by Doreen YelllowBird or the other "journalists" at the Heraldo (or god forbid GK!) but it will be noticed! This is one promotion they should have skipped THIS year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I don't think so. If they do indeed use the uni's from the 1950's, they say "SIOUX" right across the front. Those are as "hostile and abusive" as our current uni's. I suppose there's a chance if we just used the "North Dakota" historical jersey's it could be construed that way, but really, the following weekend the team will be wearing the regular jerseys, so I don't think anyone could make any headway with that argument. I'm not worried about it, and I for one enjoy seeing the old jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxMD Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Greetings, Regarding the replica jersey...does anyone else find the "swoosh" out of place? IMO it wrecks the symmetry...
