Re: Jon Crews

Great first ESPN and now the mayor is able to a jersey too...where can a general fan get one???

btw the time has come for the team to get new jerseys. Hopefully ones that say UNI on the front so we can further put this NIU thing to bed.

Could not agree more. I mean we are still wearing jersey's with the 100 year Valley patch on them. UNI on the front would be sweet, at least for maybe the home jerseys. What are everyone's thoughts on maybe a gold jersey like we used to have?

I would love to get my hands on a jersey as well. Why can't Nike make some replica's for us. I'll be the Bookstore would make a KILLING on them. Shorts too!

And I don't know about getting new uniforms . . . If we do, I hope it's not the same generic design Nike used this past season. Same design for nearly half of the college basketball teams in the country, just change the font and colors. At least ours right now are somewhat unique, and only shared by a few . . .

Maybe Nike can start using us the way they use Gonzaga. I'd like some of their sweet new digs . . .

I like white . . . but gold could be used as an alternate color! We are that "big time" now aren't we? Just as "big time" as Iowa or Iowa State!

And for the record, I don't like "UNI" for the jerseys. I'd like to get back to "Panthers" for home and keep "Northern Iowa" for away. Then people know who we are.

I think NIU would get put to bed if ESPN/CBS, etc would put UNI on their tickers and corner screen scoreboards instead of NIOWA, NOIA or some other derivative. It's not like there is currently another school they are using UNI for, sports fans would eventually figure out what team to associate with UNI.
