Re: Turf Replacement Pics
I believe that the Quinn is being used this year as to allow a remodeling of the current home locker room. A reconfiguration and removal of the aesthetics will be done before turning over the keys.

Re: Turf Replacement Pics
would you rather me say, ya old bastard instead? haha. the Gen-x and boomers have similar taste in these things. It's just too much and frankly doesn't look good. Keep it simple. Something along these lines looks a lot better since i guess we can't force people to pronounce Appalachian correctly, we have to cater to the illiterate people.Seattleapp wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 11:58 pmI’m a Gen X as well.

i made up a mock, but don't know how to post a microsoft paint image. i know, i know.. who's the old guy now.
anyway, i'll get over it. anyone know what the hill area/ where the track used to be will look like now?

Re: Turf Replacement Pics
I don't think we have any reason to think that. Yosef was just featured on our football helmets this past year for the first time in a while -- and that helmet combo won a Twitter vote for best uniform last week.BeauFoster wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 6:37 amI think the yosef logo, as much as many of us old heads like it, is going to go back into the basement. Although it has never carried a negative association, I think many athletic departments are going to start phasing out old mascots such as this, if for no other reason than wokeness.
If Yosef were depicting a minority group, we'd be in trouble. But Mountain Men aren't a targeted minority group, so we're good.

Re: Turf Replacement Pics
I love the Yosef logo and prefer it over the block A tbh. Hell the main reason I wanted an app flag for my front porch was so I could have the Yosef logo flying high. So many high schools use the block A which makes Yosef stand out.
I don’t see why it would be shelved after it won the most popular jersey contest and has been featured on ESPNs top helmets/jerseys of the week.

No. Just making sure you’re referencing the generation you intended to reference. I’m 36. I was a Gen Y then got reclassified against my will

Re: Turf Replacement Pics
When we first changed, I strongly preferred the white "A" but the black "A" has grown on me. I really like it now and, although I still like the white, I think I prefer the black. I have plenty of gear featuring both.

Re: Turf Replacement Pics
Any new pictures of the work on the field and the hill? I'm about to go nuts...I keep trying to jedi mind trick the endzone webcam into panning to the right but it's just not working.

Re: Turf Replacement Pics
The video I just watched shows them using a lot of the under-track material as backfill for the hill regrading.

Re: Turf Replacement Pics
Makes sense...save where we can...we need the infill and that's less to haul away. Any link to that vid or was it a privately shared thing?
