Retro/Spirit/Big Game Idea

[QUOTE=HP49er;242919]There will be a Green Out game this year, already being planned. But those wearing UNC-Chapel Hill t-shirts and hats to the game will be hesitant to switch. :shades:

Personally, I always liked the gold uniforms.[/QUOTE]

Considering recent attendance figures and the fact that the seats at Halton are GREEN…I’m not really sure what they are trying to accomplish.

Are too many people showing up at Halton Arena. Don’t let anyone in and you have a “green out” effect.

My point is…this should be a “white out” or “gold out” game.

Is gold still an official school color? Its a shame that it has “disappeared”.

Bring back the GOLD !!!

ETA: For added drama…don’t tell us when the gold would be worn. Just have the players walk out for pregame introductions in gold.

[QUOTE=NinerAl;242941]I would like to see us play a game / year, maybe even once every 2 years in uniforms that actually fit the players and the jerseys would stay tucked in. It would nice to see us look like a big time college basketball team as opposed to a poorly funded AAU team.:ticked:

Now that I got that off my chest…I voted yes for a gold uniform game.[/QUOTE]
Man, I agree so much with that! I noticed that Ian actually rolled the top of his shorts like my wife does to make them fit right. It looks so sloppy.

No it is not. But I think it would be a great idea. And though our record isn’t great in them, I liked the black uniforms too.

Also, I think the FORTY... NINERS... FORTY... NINERS.... chant is distinctly ours.

Only because of the nickname…tons of other schools do the this side…that side chants, except they are normally at football games when i hear them. We are…Penn State or Lets go…Mountaineers. Just 2 examples.

gold uni’s would rock…this should be done…and I agree that they should make a couple available for alums…boosters…students. I would pay a nice little chunck of change to get my hands on a gold niner uni!

I don’t see the need for “alternate uniforms”. Pro teams and major college teams wear them to SELL additional merchandice. We can’t even get authentic merchandice of our regular unis for fans to buy. I wouldn’t be totally opposed to [B]1[/B] game per year in gold unis, but definitely no more than that. A) It’s no longer “special” if you make it more than once and B ) it’s not a school color. If we had a third school color, wearing uniforms of that color 2-3 times per year might be okay. Our school colors are [B][COLOR=DarkGreen]GREEN[/COLOR][/B] and [B][COLOR=White]WHITE[/COLOR][/B]. If the black uniforms come back I think I will puke.

The black uni’s were awesome, and we wore them rarely, but I would like to see them again. Coach Mullins seemed to always switch around the uni’s.

What is it exactly that is so appealing about our former black uniforms? These things are/were hideous.

Keep them in the history books, please!!!

My freshman year, 2001-02, the team had a choice for road jerseys:

Green…

…or black…

Now, the overall design of these And1 abortions was awful to begin with, but florescent green? Our warmups practically glowed in the dark. I much preferred black that year.

Such a youngster. My freshman year, we didn’t even have color photos of the players!

We could have gold all of the time. It would be the Olympic Champ look.

We wore black on the road for most games that year because the green was so bad. It was the first year with And1 and they got the green wrong. I don’t think we have black alternates every year. Maybe we ordered the black after getting in the florescent green.

I only remember wearing green that year in the C-USA Tournament and NCAA’s. The rest of the time, I think we were in black.
