Both Iowa and Can't are located to the east of Iowa State/Akron, and both Iowa and Can't have pee-yellow in their color scheme. It's like you were meant to be a part-time Akron fan! I'm much more than just a part-time Zips fan. I'm probably just a few hours per week (or a few weeks per year) short of being full-time!

I retweeted it & Devanier Floyd almost immediately "Liked" the retweet. But a bit later Zips Equipment tweeted that it's not going to be used in-game; just a recruiting tool. In 2015 the NCAA put strict guidelines on which types of facemasks are allowed to be worn. A lot of schools pay around with fun designs, but they are only allowed for show.

akzipper Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Pretty excited to be finally switching to Nike. Seems long overdue and all teams should have made the switch along with the basketball team. I know Caleb Porter preferred Adidas, but Nike is the best. We won't get special treatment like Oregon or OSU, but it will be much better. I'm excited to get my hands on some new gear and see the new uniforms.

zippy5 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I think it's just best for the school to have one provider across the board. Should hopefully help find some decent Zips items online and at team stores. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted July 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I like them. Clean. I don't want them to do much to them. I love our uniforms. They removed the AKRON font from the front & added the Fear the Roo head. I'm alright with that, though I do like Akron on the front of the jersey. Last year our jersey AKRON font was different than the script AKRON font on our helmets. Looks like there are numbers on the shoulders.

Spin Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 So this year our colors are dark dark blue and white? But the schedule has dark blue and old gold. It's like a perpetual identity crisis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 I think they are a waste of money. At the Boise Famous Potato Bowl Trevor Maddox called our white uni's the best in college football. I agree. if it ain't broke , don't fix it. Spend the money on promotions instead. BTW, the Fear the Roc logo is too small to see from the stands or on TV so why have it. A waste of $ when we are short on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 We switched from Adidas to Nike. There wasn't any choice but to get new uniforms. I don't care enough to look it up, but I would assume they pay us to wear their gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to football, we could probably make more money getting athletic wear companies to pay us not to wear their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think the cursive "Akron" is the worst. Not sure why it's basically being used as a primary logo now across all sports. It's boring and generic. Especially when we already have two very cool unique logos that are almost never used anymore.
