Thoughts on Black Jerseys?

[CoolCajun123]

Once again, black is not our colors, black for trim is ok but not our jerseys.

Change is good, we need to keep kids motivated with the current trends.... Too many "old school" fans want to live in the past with the jerseys from the 1970's. We need to allow and embrace change, do what is best for the program. If that means getting black pants, helmet, and jerseys to intrest a top recruit to come then so be it!!

And do it once every 1-2 years to make it more rare and special when we do bust them out!

Let me 'splain some stuff to you.

First of all, us "old school" fans go by another name too, alumni.

As alumni, the vast majority of us have supported our university through good times and bad times for several decades, and did this while the school had the same jersyes.

Those "1970's" jerseys you cite were actually put in place in 1975. "CAJUNS" was added on the front of the jersey in 1982. It stayed that way until 1999. That is 24 years. The Cajuns' record of achievement during that time frame dwarfs anything accomplished in the entire history of the program outside of that time frame.

Secondly, the idea that a recruit will pick a university because of their trendy uniforms is the biggest load of crap here. Home crowds and dynamic coaches like we've had this season gets you recruits.

Lastly, you cite the black helmets and pants as good things. Using your logic, we should be undeated in those. We are 1-2 this season in black gear, 7-1 without.

Notre Dame probably has the most tradition in college fball history. Even they are going with untraditional unis. Change happens folks.

actually, we are 2-2 we beat Troy and Fiu in black gear lost to arkansas state and WKU with black on. And if you are ignorant enough to think that athletes today dont care about uniforms, you are a load of crap.

actually, we are 2-1 we beat Troy and Fiu in black gear only lost to arkansas state with black on. And if you are ignorant enough to think that athletes today dont care about uniforms, you are a load of crap.

Actually, we were both wrong.

Black helmets for FIU, Troy, WKT, and ASU.

2-2


Also, the majority of the athletes out there care about winning, not uniforms.


Believe it or not, one day, you too will grow out of this fascination with black.

You might feel tougher with it on, but that's about it.

its not a fascination, its called not caring as long as we win, our head coach thinks its necessary to change up the uniforms to get the guys excited and recruit better players then im all for it. He has given us our best season in 20 years on year #1. Thats why he is paid the big bucks to win and you and I are on a message board. When it comes to recruiting its everything and anything that can give you an edge. If hud thinks this gives him an edge who are you to tell him it doesnt?

[Turbine]

Hud knows that the idea of change gives players boost.

He also knows the boost doesn't last, which is why he changed away from black in the course of the season and changed back again.

Only Hud could stop black from getting stale.

[ET]

I know the players like the black helmets and the whole look that it brings - also, variety has become the new norm! It seems like only Penn State hasn't changed - after second thought it may now be the time for that!
