I was just about to post this. With this new staff I have a feeling the new unis are gonna piss off all the old timers but I'm okay with that because that's what the kids(including myself) like.

Any hint as to what these miraculous new uniforms will look like?  Basic black with embossed numbers?  Maybe a smattering of green just to placate us old timers.

When and how did I become one of the old timers??? haha

I'm going to go ahead and envision the worst:  Something along the lines of Baylor and Oregon.

Now, get off my lawn!!!

Here's hoping that they go for a classic look. When big budget teams with supplier connections like Maryland or Oregon go outlandish, they can get away with it as they're designed well. Take a middling team and try to be all fancy, and it looks cheap, and like a bad high school uniform.

Or when middle of the road teams get together with a young trendy new uniform supplier. See this junk from 2007-2010.

Also not pictured -- the sensational amount of kickback that generated.

The new wing design? If so. I hate to disagree but the recruits and players alike love that helmet the most.

Here's a hot sports opinion: those Under Armour unis are better than anything we've had with Nike.

Hate to sayit but I agree.  The UA unis I liked much better than the Nike ones....   

 

although i I love the new helmets with the sow....   especially the chrome one.   However I do not think that they would go well with the ua uniforms.

Probably more because it is chrome and it is a familiar approach. I like the chrome, I just don't like copying every other winged animal mascot helmet ever. I like the helmet overall, the swag jacking is not my cup of tea.

The new helmet logo on the chrome helmet is by far the best look... I think the other logo is too far back on the helmet, making it look funny. The new logo rocks, and with the chrome helmets, I can see why the student athletes love it! A+

PS: I loved the UA uniforms and it's been nearly 10 years, and I still think they look great.

I've always liked the idea of incorporating the three greens that we have used over the years.

Agree to disagree on the emblem on the chrome helmets (not the chrome helmets themselves). I just think it copies what other people have done before. Kids love it, cool... But I think it has more to do with the flash of the chrome than the emblem. You really can't even tell what it is supposed to be from afar anyway.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
