xu9697 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Since we are going over the "same ol, same ol (conference changes)"...I am shocked if we do nothing, even if it is just a somewhat slight change. Brand new stadium, building the brand, huge year for the program, etc. What a perfect opportunity to do something!!! Are we just tapped out? Did Mack check out before bothering to pursue some new threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Mack check out before bothering to pursue some new threads?Is there are a reason why you think we need new threads? Out dated design or something?What we have now is far from outdated. I personally think we should have a throwback (ala the snowbowl) and an alternate gold jersey with blue pants. But overall those are just "awesome we have extra" not "we really need this".

WinZip Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 It would be really sweet, but I think our jerseys now are great. I'd like to see gold worked in more but I'm afraid I'd get sick of it as a home jersey. Even though it would make a nice throwback I think but I'd put my money elsewhere...Golden Zippy StatueDr. Pepper FountainT-shirt rocket launcher...you know stuff we really need.

Kind of a big deal to move into a new stadium, new era kind of thing. I think something to reflect that change would be a positive move. Who wants to move into a new house and keep all of the same furniture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we need a Heisman statue on campus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was moving into a new house I'm not sure I'd buy a new shirt, and I most definitely wouldn't throw out all my outfits.Prolly go for the tv in the bathroom.

ksu sucks Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Who wants to move into a new house and keep all of the same furniture?If I were moving into a new house. I'd probably keep the same lights. Is there any way we can ship the poles from the RB and plant them in front of the stands. It always seemed that those large pillars of illumination made for better feng shui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottditzen Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I will second the idea for Heisman statue.And add that it should be prominently displayed and visible from inside the Info.Until then, I want to see every possible connection with Coach Heisman and Akron Historyon our scoreboard video screen.It would be really sweet, but I think our jerseys now are great.

scottditzen Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 All right then, I'm definitely on board so lets go with it, see if the idea catches on.In that regard, I think the entire green space along the Stiles Field House could become an incredible version of our very own Monument Park.

72 Roo Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I've got nothing better to do so I'll bite on the new uni question. I'd like to see a gold top with our blue pants and smaller numbers on the front. I think both these ideas met with a lot of support the last time XU came up with his designs.Lately, it seems we are recycling old topics. Can the Fall get here any sooner? Give me football in the Info, soccer at the Jack, basketball pick up games in the gym ...... soon, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me football in the Info, soccer at the Jack, basketball pick up games in the gym ...... soon, please! VD had the great designs. My thought was something similar to BC's current unis. And yes, no doubt, recycling is where we are at right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xu9697 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 And, hate to say it, but the picture of Bryan Williams from the "Williams cut" topic is just another in your face reminder of how ridiculously large the numbers are. It looks like a bad high school team. If they do ONE THING and only one thing, shrink those numbers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
