New whites.

Same script 'Northern Iowa' from 2022 with the correct number font and UCLA style striping on the shorts. No names on back.

I don't love them design wise and I greatly dislike when we go with 'Northern Iowa' instead of 'UNI' or 'Panthers'.

I know the purple and silver script 'Panthers' are still in the rotation and we should be do for new purples and I'm sure we'll have a black alternate of some sort.

I really wish we could get back to a uniform set of uniforms when it comes to the style. I am fine with some being the script Northern Iowa, Some being UNI on the front and some being Panthers, I do want our font for the numbers though. But I wish they were/are all the same template, which it sounds like they won't be again. To me have a white set with purple and gold, a purple set with white and gold numbers, a black set, an alternate white set, and I really would like a gold set, but I have heard about Jake's dislike of that or maybe it is a superstition.

Personally I like the script, I think they look sharp. I'm not opposed to the UNI lettering either though. I think it would be pretty cool to get a throwback with an old logo incorporated somehow. Obviously we don't play in the dome anymore, but the vintage UNI logo with the panther walking through the UNI letters and the dome over UNI would be awesome. I might be in the minority, but the only ones I would be okay with never seeing again are gray unis. I've never seen a gray uniform that I like.

Give me Eldon era GIANT NUMBERS or give me death.

This guy simulated the season and listed the 5th and 95th percentile outcomes for every team. I would have been more interested in what the 25/75 percentiles but still interesting, I love this kind of content.

Decade Panther with the full good below!

Unverified but...

Played five 10 minute periods and won 89-67.

This, of course, means absolutely nothing.

You posted this last night too. It wasn’t true then and isn’t true now. We won by 8. Full game for regulars and a 10 minute period for walk-ons and redshirts.

Appreciate it.

Like I said, I had 3rd hand info and made it very clear it was unverified.

Appreciate you!!

Good stuff BC, any comments on Rubin?

I was thinking he was a strong candidate tobbe in the top 8 rotation (unless I missed another injury setback as I don't follow this as close as many on this forum does).

Thanks!

His comments on Wes mostly hit on his need for consistency and habits. Also mentioned how hard he is to stop offensively, so I take it he's inconsistent on the defensive end. We all know how Jake treats guys who are struggling on D, so my guess is he's behind Will in the rotation at the moment.

Shut up and take my still beating heart.

If we got a team like Wisconsin sped up to the point where we could play in the 80s, it means RJ took one of the biggest leaps from year 1 to year 2 in program history.
