Week 4 Uniforms for WMU

[OttoMets]

I still don’t think they are readable. The 8 and 9 look way too much alike.

I think that's a problem.

But brain part of the problem is my being slow to adjust to the new font. I know Evan Foster wears 9. With the clown-suit jerseys I could see 9 and know who it was immediately (you know, assuming I could actually read the "9").

But with the new font I'm totally confused. Last week I was sitting up there going through the thought procession "great play...Rod Gadson? Rishard Anderson? wait, who wears this number on this team?" despite technically knowing which number goes with which kid on the roster.

Wowwwwwww y’all can’t just be happy? If it’s not attendance at the game it’s the uniform, if it’s not the uniform it’s something else.

They changed the uniform so the numbers were readable and true to the classic jerseys

Hate to break it to you but the uniforms are NOT for the fans. It’s for the players and they love mixing it up and trying different color combinations.

Everybody insisted that we had to have an orange jersey with readable white numbers.

Now everybody's mad we look like UVa / Miami / Okie State.

I guess Nike won't be selling too many of these.

I love the look. Its a perfectly acceptable alternate uni.

the helmets should always be orange.

second week in a row where a video on the board has a terrible sax man song.

So far this season WMU is 0-1 vs P5 schools on the road when that team debuts a new uniform.

Number of times per season for "alternate" color scheme: <2

The university is about to win, I’m about to throw in the uniform towel, so I’m pulling back the troops and going all in on 1 fight...

Orange helmets all the time.

From there, feel free to fluck up the rest of the uniform.

I am with you.

Provided we also add a clause to prevent the reinstatement of duct tape. Never, under any circumstances. I don't care if 3M buys the naming rights to the building formerly known as the Carrier Dome.

I'm all for the gimmick weeks where we go with non traditional color schemes as long as we figure out a way to go back to the traditional for the majority of games...O B O for home...O W O for road.

Agreed but I love the wow as well... it may be my favorite.
