They are making a new kind of turf that rolls. no rubber pellets.

Re: Time to Change UNI's Colors.....

Oh, I gotta comment on this one...... it's been a few years since art appreciation, but I don't think white is 'technically' a color --- it's a lack of pigment. Love the purple and gold, white and black just seem to be accent colors.... I actually like the looks of the black pants. The white jerseys???? they can find their way to the dumpster, for all I care. They look tacky!! may not agree with me, but that's my opinion - for all that's worth!! (too much black and gold makes us look like we're trying to join the bandwagon from the other end of 380 and we're too classy for that shenanigans!!!)

I say the PSC buys throwback jerseys, wear em for a game and auction them off for fundraising.

Although I think that would be cool, I dont think that would be such a great idea with our current lack of funds situation at UNI. I do, however, think that they should auction off the old uniforms from years past to help raise money, not to mention they would be really sweet to have.

You buy them and then sell them. Thus a profit, thus the financial situation has nothing to do with it.

Also, PSC is seperate from the athletic department, technically. Montana sold all the jerseys and helmets in 30 mins.

Montana has also sold 17,000 tickets to their game this weekend already. I'm not saying it wouldn't be successful, but they have quite the fan base, considering it's the only program in the state that's decent, and they have a few Chatty appearances (and wins). I think we would do well selling them, but I doubt we would see the marketing success that Montana had with it.

Without knowing the cost of the jerseys/helmets, it's hard to say how good of an idea it would be. Could possibly also presell.

Must not be too bad of a deal since we did it in the 90s with the anniversary jerseys.

William Randolph Hearst really was to blame for the Spanish-American War, if you read up on it.

Re: Time to Change UNI's Colors.....

Yes we have done it before and that seemed to workout for us. Plus the basketball team did it for a game just like 3 years ago. I realize the uniforms for bball a quite a bit cheaper, but you are selling them off afterwards. I know I would do my best to buy a throwback jersey. I do have a pair of shorts from that basketball game!

Re: Time to Change UNI's Colors.....

That's not the original astro turf.. Didn't it just get replaced several years ago. The stuff that used to be there was like cement. It also needs to be pulled up for other events and current field turf can not do that, right?

I though there was a discussion about this last year and somebody mentioned that safety wise, the current turf is about the same compared to field turf. But for looks... yeah, field turf looks better I guess.

Time to flex my searching skills maybe.

[Update] Well, I found that the current turf was installed in 1992? So yeah, not as new as I thought. And back then it cost $817,000.

Re: Time to Change UNI's Colors.....

We need those helmets back....as well as that mid field logo.

Re: Time to Change UNI's Colors.....

I was thinking the same thing about the midfield logo...that was pretty sweet. I do like the new helmets we have NOW, but I was pretty bummed when we dropped that old helmet and put that stupid superimposed UNI on them. Ugh.

Do you guys think the Lord Jesus ever "got any"?

HE was good with his hands (carpenter) and had plenty of wine available.
