Title: Uniforms
Post by: herdofhearing on July 17, 2017, 08:25:16 PM
Hopefully the additional revenues from the alcohol sales will fix our uniform situation.

How hard can it be to come up with a theme and stick with it for all uniform combos.

Leave the Marshall off the whites. Or match it with "The Herd"...  What the heck!
It doesn't match the black outlined numerals. Don't be Busch league.

Rant over.

Mixing the black and white looks terrible but the rest look pretty good. Just because you CAN do a combo doesn't mean you SHOULD.

I like the uniforms and I like the away uniforms with Marshall across the top.  A lot of teams are now going back to the more traditional uniforms which MU never left.  I wouldn't mind a green or black helmet alternative.

Unis look good...

do you think MIA is that much WORSE than charlotte?  i'm pretty certain they're better than charlotte.  & probably better than every team other than LOU that cleaned our clock at home last year.  what's the reason for optimism?  same HC.  same coordinators.  same QB.  most of our experienced receivers are gone.

just b/c it's the home opener & none of us like MIA & now we sell beer doesn't mean MIA won't beat us.  don't get me wrong, i hope we win & will be embarrassed if we lose, but i'll be shocked if we beat MIA.  i know that probably makes me a "bad fan," but it's realistic.

I absolutely loathe these new road jerseys.

Never should we wear the white jersey, black pants combo.

Every school should be all black or all white so every game can be a black or white out. (Sarcasm)

Whatever happened to just designing good looking uniforms with the school's colors?

I remember in 2013 when ECU wore black helmets, white jerseys and black pants when they played in Huntington. They didn't look like ECU. Ill feel the same way about the Herd if we wear black britches on the road.

In the end, if we win, uniforms are easy to overlook.

I'm not going to argue lol.. The number fonts are different as well. I agree if we win it won't matter. I'm very detail oriented. Especially when you're trying to build a brand.

Alabamas uniforms are the exact same theme. Clemson's are the exact same theme. These are not. Sorry.

Let's win games. I'll stick to reading your expert opinions and discontinue posting. You guys are right up there with the mother ship in knowing your stuff. And are probably the ones still breaking out the dark green polos with the pleated Dockers for games.

no, i dont think miami is worse than Charlotte.  But i do think there were issues with the team last year that have been purged from the program.  coaching is still mediocre at best and everyone has a right to be concerned and most especially Bill Legg and his ridiculous offensive scheme.  however, my gut tells me this team will be dramatically different than 2016.

Dear lord people get over yourselves. We aren't changing colors to black. Black makes the green pop and if you can't see that then I can't help you. The uniforms look good. If you can't enjoy the team because of the uniform color then you weren't a fan to begin with

I like the 3 wide outs, Yuri and RBs. Chase has talent...needs head in the game. OL still questionable but I do think we will score quite a few points. DTs a weak spot but Young, Yulee and the three JUCO LBs/DBs will help.

The away unis are atrocious. What makes am equipment person think they are a fashion designer? The white jersey with black sleeves is just bad. Add the green letter that are a difference color than the numbers and it's just bad. If the sleeves were green it wouldn't look nearly as bad. In fact I might like them. But this black on white deal looks terrible.

Also why can't we put stripes on our pants. Why do they have to be solid? Stripes would look great. Just my opinion
Title: Re: Uniforms

Mostly the black shoulders. We have a black jersey and pants combo, let the other uniforms feature just green and white.
Don't like the change of font and "Marshall" written across the chest. Not a big fan of "The Herd" written on the front of the other jerseys either but it doesn't seem to take up quite as much space.

( we still have the same coaches in Doc, and Legg) that concerns me.

You might find this hard to believe, I had more confidence heading into a season with coaches Lengyel, Ellwood, and the late great Randle, than I do with Doc as coach. Even though we had losing records with those previous coaches, I always looked forward to a new season with hope. I'm just not feeling it with Doc as our head coach.

Get BACK to our basic colors? We've worn 4 unis (All green, green/white, white/green, white/white) for as long as I can possibly remember. Adding an alternate uniform breaks up the monotony. But that's okay, I'll tell those pesky kids to get off your lawn.  ::)
