Coolest football UNIforms

[CanuckPanther]

Sure hope it is not as bad as what Nike did the the uniforms in the CFL!

[Pantherpower]

Hopefully old gold helmets, purple jerseys and old gold pants are back!!

[Jonsoup]

I agree with you Pantherpower on the uniforms.

[Catnep]

I would prefer what we had way back when in Cap'n Cat's days, when there was the Purple Jersey, Gold Helmet, Gold Pants. Pants had the purple and while stripe and I'd prefer solid gold. Kind of like the Washington Huskies uniforms.

I remember the gold bottoms, this was the Terry Allen era I believe. Pretty darn cool. At some point, just about every school has incorporated black into the color scheme. I've seen some schools have all black uniforms with the main school colors hardly visible. As far as our all black bottoms-boring! Get some pin stripes.

New designed uniforms

Bad BAP, Bad BAP. You could have let us out here in www land speculate about the uniform issue, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you have to provide real information, well, information enough to INCREASE speculation. I hope you're satisfied with yourself, because I certainly am.

Thanks, and keep it up.

I don't like it! The uniforms we have now have established themselves as part of the "Farley" era, teams in the Gateway don't like the "Farley" era! You don't just change uniforms in the middle of a Coaching tenure when EVERYTHING, i mean EVERYTHING is going our way. Both our home and away uni's were on National TV last year so we finally got the exposure we want, we want to become a household fixture in the midwest and the state of Iowa, as soon as we start to, we go out and change something. It makes absolutely no sense at all.

Oh you're welcome... I do what I can

[Panthers to the Bone]

Since UNI signed a contract with Nike for football uniforms, the uniforms would probably change regardless, I think, due to the style being another companies "rendition", while Nike would have to come up with their own. Is this correct? I'm not sure how licensing uniforms works.

[Born-a-Panther]

Pretty sure you're right PTTB -- as my source told me the reason the boys are gettin new uniforms is cuz of the new contract with Nike.

[UNI MadCat]

Any chance the New Uni's will be available for public sale before the season starts? I know its way too early, but I needed a break from all this b-ball number crunching and was wondering if there were any updates?

[MplsBison]

Seems like a lot of teams went without socks in 2005.

Is UNI one of these teams or do they wear socks every game?

[Spike Owens]

The black is ugly. Need to go back to the old gold pants and purple at home. The old gold pants, white jersey and purple helmet was the best look on the road.

[JayJ79]

Seems like a lot of teams went without socks in 2005.

with the exception of the rare barefooted kicker, I'm pretty sure every football player wears socks. Some may wear lower cut socks that don't go much above the shoes, but still.

Otherwise, the shoes will get REAL nasty (not to mention blisters and the like). unless athletic shoe technology has made lots of advances.

[ubuntuCAT]

Let's just make the entire uniform black and only use green for the lettering. That would be the sweetest thing ever.........c'mon guys who actually cares here, man we need football to start and soon so we can talk about the panthers kicking ass in whatever color they get

[DomeRanger Posse]

When is spring break at UNI? I assume that spring ball should start afterwards, and then we should get a glimpse of the new uniforms then, or at the spring game, right?
