throwback uniforms

Cannot believe I misspelled Joe Greene.

You're probably right. I want my flying worm T-shirt.

Anybody know when these are going to be released?

In my opinion, the one really distinctive uniform we have ever had was during the Fry years. You never forgot the candy apple green nor the flying worm and I would be delighted to see these worn again. But, if I were to guess what what is worn on throwback day, I would guess a mashup of several uniforms from the past.

Now if we could only get the band to play the original fight song for at least this one game!

Fry era helmet.

Black jersey with candy apple colored piping.

I can't wait -- very excited about this! When they come out for the Idaho game wearing this it is going to be electric in that stadium!

We still need a "100" somewhere on whatever uniform we use.

Will be so awesome. Hopefully it inspires RV and crew to get that damn "North Texas" off the helmets and use the Sow. Yeah. I said it. J

I keep expecting some video to leak these unis. Even high school programs have gone this route for releasing uniform updates...

Maybe the (assumed) one-off nature of these will lead to a more subdued release.

I want to be excited about the throwback uniforms, I really do. In almost every aspect of my life I am a very positive person. However, after so many years of disappointment with the AD, I have a feeling that very little time, thought, and effort will be put into this very special milestone. I feel like I will be very underwhelmed, I certainly hope I am proven wrong.

Well, while you're at it, you might as well be hoping that the band enters the stadium/field in a showmanship-like-up-tempo manner like a real college band,(you know, much like a band that comes from a school that has a national music reputation) with a thundering cadence from their nationally recognized drum line, and playing a fanfare (like just about all the big time college bands do) before playing the aforementioned original fight song with a big sound and moving down the field with a quick step.

But try to keep a happy thought on the matter..................

Actually, most of the time I'm talking about showmanship.

I. for one, hope the band doesn't show up in shorts. I just can't get used to any musician, of any kind of music, wearing shorts. I understand it's hot. It was hot 45 years ago when I was in school and the band marched in their uniforms. Their complete uniforms.

GO MEAN GREEN

The players don't know what the "throwbacks" look like.

Ditto that, SilverEagle, showmanship-like -up tempo manner is a nice way to put it. So much potential... Incidentally, if there is not a major story in the sports section of the DMN between now and our first game on our 100th year of football I will be very disappointed. Someone needs to make sure that happens.

Exactly!

I'm glad that my wrinkled hundreds spend the same as do freshly minted, crisp, starched in the collar notes.

As long as it's not your son or daughter who has the heatstroke, huh?

A broken record is that damn "Fly Like an Eagle" which comes across at a football game about as inspiring as crawl like a turtle. I AM a Don Henley fan, but we need some APPROPRIATE songs, some get out of your damn seat and dance in the aisles songs.

The fly like an eagle nonsense is pathetic.
