dagies Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 In regards to the jersey, I've always like the black jersery's of the past. Always been more of a fan of them over the green, but that's just me. I know I'm probably in the minority. As far as this particular jersey, as others have stated, the numbers are difficult to read and the Sioux crest is too small on the front. Not a big fan of the form fitting either....it just doesn't look right for a hockey player not to have a big jersey. Just MHO! Definitely disagree with you on the past black and green jerseys. I don't think the shimmer cloth or whatever it's called looks very good in black, more grey. I definitely like the green better with that material. But the new material looks very good in black, IMO, and I do like the slimmer fit. I would like to see these with a larger crest, but I kind of like the smaller crest. I've even gotten used to the design of the numbers. I usually like the more block style numbers similar to what is currently being used, but this style number has grown on me. Quote
Sundog Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 You'll know when my story comes out. Ten buck to you if you can work the phrase "once you go black, you never go back" into your story. Quote
siouxfan77 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I think they're awesome! Very mean-looking... Maybe the boys feel mean in them, and that's why they win! Who knows. In any case, I love them. Go Sioux! Quote

HockeyMom Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 The pole makes it official, we are set up for the biggest jinx in history of sioux sports! Pole? Stripper's pole? Quote
Sioux-cia Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Pole? Stripper's pole? Jinx? First thing to strip off on that pole is the black jersey!! Quote
luapsided Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 If everyone who said i like them just because we are winning would just say that 'I love the effin jerseys,' this would help clear up any issue Or yeah, poles and strippers! woohoo! Quote

AZSIOUX Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Pole? Stripper's pole? now we are talking, RIGHT MAFIAMAN, remember columbus ...st louis here i come!! Quote
siouxfan77 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 It is a good look for the players. Form fitting for the fan is not a as good. Ah yes...how true. All of that Creamy Dark has done very little to slim my figure! Quote
siouxfansincebirth Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Maybe someone can shed more light on the subject but I had a good friend in high school that was a goalie. He always hated playing against teams that wore black ( or very dark) jerseys because he said it is so much tougher to pick up the pucks when you have guys in front setting screens. It always made sense to me. A black puck on a white jersey, pretty easy to pick up. A black puck on a black jersey, a whole lot tougher to see. I did vote for option 1, but had a hard time between that choice and option 2. Ever since they came out on the ice at the John (the first time I had ever seen the new style) I immediately wanted to buy one. Had they been on sale that night I probably would have paid any price for one. They are so sharp, and I really do think they give the Sioux a mental and physical edge. Along with the black puck on black jersey, I had never given that much though. I have never played hockey but it does make a huge amount of sense to me the hockey fan. Has anyone else ever played against a team wearing black? PCM if you would like to quote anything I have posted - you have my permission! The skate for EIGHT! GO SIOUX! Quote
cjsol Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I hope they come to their senses and pass on the idea of making that style of jersey permanent. In my opinion the vertical stripes and rounded numbers jerseys are the 2nd worst of all-time behind only the plain "NORTH DAKOTA" style jerseys of 1993-94 and 1994-95. C'mon, these jersey's were a classic! Quote
Fetch Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I still have not seen where or if these are available to purchase yet ? Quote
PCM Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 I still have not seen where or if these are available to purchase yet ? Big A HG said this in an earlier post: Also, you won't be seeing these jerseys for sale for at least another hockey season because the team had to decide by a certain deadline whether or not they wanted to wear them permanently and didn't answer in time. So, they still might be our permanent jerseys for next year, but aren't going to be for sale either way until the 2008-09 season. That's what I've heard anyways. I have no idea how accurate it is, but nobody else seems to know. Quote
Wreckincrew Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Black, green, white, orange, purple, blue and pink diagonal stripes.....I don't care, I just want to retire my "7 time Champions" hat and start breaking in a new one with an "8" on it. Go Sioux! Quote

C'mon, these jersey's were a classic! I would like to know the ages of people who are doing the voting here. Im almost betting the people who have watched the sioux for ten or more years longer than some of us are the ones who really dont like the jersey, granted theres a few of you who do like them. I think the jerseys go with where the sport has developed to over the years. Yeah the looks to some of you might not be so appealing but the benefits that these new brand of jerseys apparently have should overtake a couple flaws that you dont like in the appearance of them. If you were to take a huge vote, say nationally, I'm betting the people who like them are far greater than the people who dont in my opinion. But I, myself will buy one in the future, if given the chance. But whatever the case GO FIGHTING SIOUX! Quote
siouxnami Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 These jerseys were designed to offer a competitive advantage via aerodynamics and weight. It seems foolish not to take advantage of that fact. Quote
HeidiSioux62 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I'm not going to name names, but one newspaper reporter who covers a WCHA team told me that when he wanted to write an article about how well a particular goalie was playing, the coach told him he didn't want the article written. The reporter wrote and published the article anyway. The next game, the goalie played horrible and the team lost. The coach chewed out the reporter for jinxing the goalie and causing the loss. Just curious PCM, have you cleared the article with Hak and the boys - sure would hate to mess with their mojo. Quote
PCM Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 Just curious PCM, have you cleared the article with Hak and the boys - sure would hate to mess with their mojo. I never clear my USCHO articles with Hak, the boys or anyone else at UND. It doesn't work that way. Quote

PCM Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 I think he meant it as a joke, hehe Probably, but I don't want to give anyone the impression that it's something normally done because it isn't. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I think he meant it as a joke, hehe exactly....joke... btw pcm.....are you gona be in st louis?? Quote
