Football Poster

[UNI Fight]

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, at least for this years poster, because there's nothing they can do about it now. But IMO we haven't had a great football poster since the 2006 poster with the reflection in the visor. I picked mine up at the State Fair last night and hung it at work but next to the Iowa/Iowa State posters it leaves a lot to be desired...and I hate that. Add some flair! If we're conference champions...put a picture of the trophy!

I was looking through other teams' posters and found a lot that are "better" graphically and artistically. We need a great poster next year!!!

Montana's 2011 poster

Montana 2010

Liberty Univ.

UTAH

Appalachian State (this is ok, not the best)

UAB

Southern Illinois

Central Florida

Louisville

Western Kentucky

Texas State

UTEP

North Carolina

Ranking college football posters (Ideas for the athletic dept for next year)

Re: Football Poster

We can't replicate the 2010 Montana poster because if we did, sure as can be somone would feel left out and their dad / brother / uncle would be on Panthernation talking about "superstars" or how we are not a "team."

As long as it looks cool...I don't care. "Earn your poster spot" can be a sign in the locker room.

My sister and girlfriend both have degrees in graphic design from their respective Iowa State and Iowa. I showed it to them and was informed a freshman in a design program would come up with something a lot more flashy and interesting. In fact I've seen their work from their freshman years and know it isn't that hard to come up with something a lot better. I don't think anyone can say the football posters the last couple years don't have room for improvement.

Re: Football Poster

Sorry, but I much prefer our poster this year over many of those. Actually, I really like it in general. I guess I don't get the big controversy over a poster anyway.

It's very bland compared to many others. It's nothing to write home about. It's not awful...it's just not great. Put it beside any of those and its just very "meh". Not bad, not good. It's poster purgatory. There's nothing appealing about it except for the fact that it's UNI and I love UNI so I hung it up. No one will walk up and say "that's a cool poster". I guess I would much rather prefer a poster that's appealing and eye-catching than one that just "gets the job done". Something worth buying a poster frame and keeping it past this year.

Re: Football Poster

Personally, I think most all of our football posters from the last several years have all been pretty good. Also, the OP referenced the "reflection on the visor" poster. That was actually the football media guide, not a football poster.

It was both, I have a poster of it. Maybe it wasn't the "official poster" but there is a poster. Dangdest thing about digital images, you can dang near make anything out of them! I bet someone has it on a coffee mug or a mouse pad somewhere!

I think you just reiterated my point...they're "pretty good". They're not awful and they're certainly not great, they're not something other fans will be jealous of, they're not something that would win any awards. They're pretty good. They're ok. They're...run-of-the-mill is what they are. Why settle? We have a great program, with great tradition, lets show it off! Bottom line: I want something awesome to hang up at work. This is not it. But at least I can turn around and see the schedule.

I'm looking at my co-worker's Iowa's poster and I can see every week who they're playing and every conference game, that would be nice. They also have their bowl game trophy as the center, the main point of the design. Can we get one with our conference champs poster? Check out the examples I posted. Then look at our current trophy? Something about the playoffs (albeit a bad playoff run) The way the ads are just blocks at the bottom, they randomly threw some logos in the bottom corners, they're no sense of purpose. It's like someone like me opened up InDesign or Illustrator and threw some images in there. I don't want something I could make, I want something an graphic artist made. I ran it by my sister who has a design degree from Iowa State "could've made that in a couple hours" she said. It's embarrassing. I want Iowa State people to bow to UNI posters!

Is this the official poster this year and does anyone know if there is anyway of getting one mailed to me? My barracks wall is lacking a certain Panther appeal and think the football poster would be a great start.

yes, that is the current one.
if no one else has made arrangements, I'll step up and mail you one (or more, if you want). PM me if you'd like me to (with mailing address and whatnot)

Re: Football Poster

Where do you go to get the new fall posters? I've gone to the bookstore and ticket office and neither had any.

Wow that digital image is much clearer and nicer than the printed version of the poster. I should just make it my background

That would just be awesome. There have to be more somewhere, right? Its the first week of school. I seem to recall grabbing some after football games..
