New Football Uniforms

[chester]

UNI signed an "all-school" deal with Nike. All UNI sports teams will have Nike gear in the near future.

Financially, terrific. Stylistically, likely an 'ugh'. Nike has been the worst thing to ever happen to football uniforms. Hopefully the school retains most (if not all) design rights of the unis and doesn't let them create Oregon or Miami-like clown costumes.

From what some of the football players have told me, they got a pretty large say in what the uniforms will look like.

talking to some people in the uni dome offices when i was there last the home uniforms will look pretty similar to last years but will read Panthers on the front replacing Northern Iowa, and the visiting white jerseys will have some purple on the sides, no word on the helmet I'm assuming no change

I would have liked to keep NORTHERN IOWA on the front. Whatever they do, just make the shade of purple match throughout the uniform, gul-dang-it!

I've always been a fan of having the mascot (Panthers) on a home jersey and the name of the school (Northern Iowa) on away jerseys.

ditto 2317, on the mascot on the home jersey.

Exactly. That stood out, embarrassingly, quite well on national tv. Ugh.

Pather - Good call, the mascot on the home jersey and the school name on the road is the way to go. I wish we would adapt the Washington look as well. That is the school color and back in the late 1970's and early 1980's that is what they looked like. Can you see the basketball team in gold uniforms for the big games? That would be sweet as well.

Any updates here? Or is the program keeping the new uniforms under wraps until kickoff at Drake?

Who at UNI are you trying to reach Canuck?

[panther2317]

I saw a UNI plate at Jordan Creek Mall in West Des Moines the other day that said "Kanuck". I immediately thought of our friend from Panther Nation. I'm sure it wasn't your truck Canuck...but it made me smile.

For everyone in the West Des Moines area I hear that TC has been invited and will attend the Grand Opening of the new Wal Mart near Jordan Creek July 19th. Kind of an odd appearance but good to hear UNI will get some exposure in Central Iowa and they're paying the athletic dept for it.
