Re: NEW UNIFORMS!!!
The helmets are sweet. I'm a little iffy on the unis, but I'll wait till I see them a few times. Nice change though, the players should be excited.

Re: NEW UNIFORMS!!!
http://www.goasu.com/ViewArticle.dbml?D ... =208532661BOONE, N.C. - Appalachian State University football unveiled new Nike game uniforms during a team meeting at the Appalachian Athletics Center on Thursday afternoon.
Appalachian State's new uniforms feature five combinations - black jerseys/black pants, white jerseys/white pants, black jerseys/white pants, white jerseys/black pants and an alternate grey jersey with black pants.
The grey alternate jerseys, which will be auctioned to fans following the season, feature Appalachian State's popular vintage Yosef logo, which will adorn alternate uniforms across Appalachian's 20 varsity teams for one more year in 2013-14. The grey jerseys also include the football program's "Always Attack" motto on the back nameplate.
The four traditional black and white uniform combinations will be worn with a black helmet featuring Appalachian's Block A logo. The grey alternate jersey will be paired with a black helmet featuring the vintage Yosef logo.
The Mountaineers' new black helmets have a matte finish as opposed to the traditional glossy look and the Block A logo has a black background to complete the slick new design.
Appalachian State will don its new duds for the first time when it opens the 2013 campaign at Montana on Aug. 31. The Mountaineers open the home portion of their slate on Sept. 7 versus North Carolina A&T.

Re: NEW UNIFORMS!!!
Like the uniforms and don't have an issue with the matte finish on the helmets, but the Block A in Yellow is butt ugly. We have one of the most iconic logo's in the nation and we are going to change it? Just plain dumb. Someone needs to have a chat with these folks about marketing. Looks like we are letting 18 year olds make important decisions. This one is on Charlie Cobb.mtnjax wrote:Just tweeted out by Satterfield

Re: NEW UNIFORMS!!!
Really dig the jerseys - no more of that awful Miami look. However, why mess with the logo? I blame Nike. There is no need to change that....

Re: NEW UNIFORMS!!!
Love the helmets. While I'm not fond of the yellow, I am glad to see more focus on branding the block A rather than constantly messing with Yosef heads that don't really do much for the App St brand nationally.

I'll miss the home jerseys a lot. I liked the Yellow on the sleeves. Love the new white jerseys though.

Re: NEW UNIFORMS!!!
5 new uniforms? Awesome, but is that par for the Sun Belt or is nike showing us more love like they did with the pro combats? The grays are my favorite right now (old school Yosef returns!).
*Edit - actually it's only 3, the 2 in question are combinations of the others. The block A is a shell of its former self....

Re: NEW UNIFORMS!!!
Must be a generational thing because IHATE those helmets. Not a fan of matte black and absolutely hate the block A with just the yellow outline. Not crazy about the unis either, but I guess I'll get used to them.

Re: NEW UNIFORMS!!!
I like everything but the new A. I'm just not sure we should mess with instantly recognizable logo. It would appear that we are really pushing the "new era" of App State in every way possible.

Re: NEW UNIFORMS!!!
I agree. I like the uniforms, but I like the white back-filled block A better. The old school Yosef uni/helmets are nice, but I'm not as huge a fan of old school Yosef as some on here.JTApps1 wrote:I like everything but the new A.
