Another Gold Out next week?!

[SomeBeach]

So, do we go back to regular jerseys next week? Or do we bow to superstition and wear the mismatched yellow in deference to the cosmic karma? I know my vote... scrap the sunflower suits...but I hate to tempt fate....

[KSBisonFan]

I'm with you.....go back to green....Not a fan of the yellow/gold.

[Swaghook]

I don't care which they wear, just win!

[HerdBot]

Gold out fans. Team green jerseys.

Rock, in New Orleans right now, and was crushed I could not be there, but caught the second half at a bar. I WILL be there next weekend with the kids. Olivia watched on the Xbox without me! (My evil plan to brainwash my kids is complete.)

C ya next week.

I thought u were more of a thong kind of guy

[JMB]

I hope not, the game may end up on ESPN2 and I would hate to have a national audience think we dress our football players like sunflowers.

[BlueBisonRock]

I thought u were more of a thong kind of guy

Which makes this more of a commitment.

Been hiding in my closet again? You could do a better job of cleaning up.....

[BisoninNWMN]

I like the gold jerseys.

Either one is fine.

[HandoEX]

I like the gold jerseys too. Thinking they will go back to green though.

[PaBizon]

Like the gold but I don't think they'll wear them back to back. Hope I'm wrong.

Thanx for the warning , TAB please move our tailgate so TSCF cant find us ! :D

[SomeBeach]

Guess I'm just too much of a traditionalist. My closest acceptable break from "tradition" is that we'd wear the WHITE on Gold Pants for all our games at home.... like LSU does... and like we used to do for away games. That is a sharp look, in my (admittedly old) book.

[NDSUFan_Sav]

I say have we have Oregon like Jerseys made for next week or go all black!

[NWNDBison]

Personally, I kind of like the gold jerseys, but I don't think they look real good on TV. But if they wear green jerseys is that too much green against a green turf? Gotta admit, the gold stands out. When a player is down, there's no mistaking his body for turf.

[PaBizon]

I say have we have Oregon like Jerseys made for next week or go all black!

Absolutley not. The UND who are looking at doing that and we have no black in the school colors.

[coldspot]

I say have we have Oregon like Jerseys made for next week or go all black!

I see your all black and I raise you all yellow.

[JMB]

Absolutley not. The UND who are looking at doing that and we have no black in the school colors.

Although in UND's defense they could go with the black and pink look and at least use one of their colors.

[PaBizon]

^^^THIS^^^

also, if they didn't tell us about the gold out's the impact on the crowd would be that much more, even though it may have lost it's orginality by now. However, I'd also like to see green pants, green jersey's, gold helmet. Mix it up!

[Strommer10]

I think we go back to our traditional Green jersey's and yellow pants for the rest of the playoffs. They yellow has to be timed perfectly and shouldn't be over used. I really think it would be a mistake if we went with them the rest of the the way.

Nothing fancy, tradition= Wear green, pound the rock, timely play action passes, & SOLID defense. That's how we win the championship.

The Gold Rush thing is nothing more than marketing to sell merchandise. Its a collaboration between NDSU and Scheels. Its called doing business. But the gold jerseys should only be used for special games. You dont announce stuff like that. You come out in your regular unis. Go through your warm ups. But when you come out of the tunnel wearing the special jersey the crowd goes ape shit. Now its just another jersey.

[A1pigskin]

game on....................

[CAS4127]

Simple Simon my friends. We started the regular season with these jerseys and now we started our second season with them. Now we go back to traditional!!

GO BISON!!

No doubt there CAS. However, we all know there are jerseys that do make a crowd smile. Right?


Obviously dead meat for this one. But if I am going out, it will be with a smile on my face! :)

CAS isn't a fan of teh "Alternate" jersey? :confused:

[56BISON73]

You are exactly right. I wish it would've gone down like that.

I heard that that was what was planned BUT Bohl didnt like the changing of the jerseys after warm up. Didnt want the team to lose focus.

[BigBison]

i really like our Gold/Yellow jerseys but Green is good too. But the FANS should continue to wear GOLD/Yellow!!!!

[GRAFTONBISON]

Don't care if the team wears replica's of the jersey CAS had to endure for awhile on Satuday.

Just win the damn game!!! :ranting:

[344Johnson]

Maybe for this game, we shoul order the baggy old uni's that the team wore during CAS's time at NDSU. With the yellow pants with the solid green stripe and the Snorty on the helmet.

[IBleedYellow]

I really wish they wouldn't announce anything for the jersey we are going to wear! Let the coaches and players decide. I know for sure that if they would come out of the tunnel in Gold or Green we are still going to be yelling loud. We're the Bison and they are our team! Why wouldn't we cheer?

[UncleBuck]

Go back to green, I like the comment gold to start, green to finish.

Or, have a GREEN RUSH and wear green jerseys and the green road pants.

Green on green on green turf isn't the greatest look, though.

On a different note, does anyone know if/when Scheels will be getting more of the gold jerseys in? I'll be flying back in to Fargo later this month and would like to pick one up if at all possible.

They have plenty of authentics and they are on sale for $199.99, down from $275 each...Not sure about replicas, however.

I was there last week just after Thanksgiving and there were about 30 or so of them there. IIRC there were 81, 20 and 16 jerseys.

to anyone who doesn't like the yellow jerseys: seriously? what's wrong with yellow? last i checked they are in our color scheme. any combination of green, gold (yellow), and white are good with me. saying you don't like the yellow jerseys is like saying you don't like yellow in our color scheme. i think it's good that they finally have a third jersey, most college teams do that now, and yellow just makes sense.

[heffray]

Does anyone know what the old, old, old jersey's looked like, from way back when they were the ag school? i think a throwback jersey, kinda like the packers acme jersey, would be sweet.

Yes its in the color scheme. But it doesnt have to be the main player. Seriously---Bold----is that the limit of your critical thinking?

[heffray]

Yes its in the color scheme. But it doesnt have to be the main player. Seriously---Bold----is that the limit of your critical thinking?

My bad. Lets dig deeper into this issue. Clearly we need to think really hard about the color scheme. Having a third jersey color is all about marketing, making money. If you think its not a good idea to have a third jersey for our football team, that's a different discussion. It is a good idea. So lets take a look at our colors. Let's see, we've got green, white, and yellow/gold. Well we've already got a green one, and a white one. What would you suggest we use instead of yellow? I guarantee if it was anything other than yellow, it would be more controversial, because it's not in the color scheme.

So, if picking a third jersey is all about marketing, making sense, and our color scheme, yellow is the obvious choice. If you don't like the choice, you don't like yellow in our color scheme... or you don't like making sense, or money.

Let's go deeper. YOU clearly don't like the yellow jerseys. I'm guessing you think they're not masculine enough for football, or something along those lines. Sounds like someone is a homophobe. Most deep seeded homophobia is triggered by a self-loathing for ones own feelings or tendancies.

Or maybe you just don't like the color yellow, at all. Perhaps there is some supressed memory for your childhood that includes the color yellow, and you've had an aversion to it ever since.

So to sum up, you don't like yellow in the color scheme, either because you hate money, logic, or you're gay (not that there's anything wrong with that). Or you just hate yellow, and you can't really explain why, but when you think about it long enough a voice inside you tells you to burn things.

Was that the kind of critical thinking you were looking for? Sorry, maybe i'm way off, i thought we were just talking about jersey colors. I'm no good at this.

[heffray]

Now, those are ridiculous. I don't think you can liken the Gold Rush jerseys to the Terps atrocity, even if you hate the color yellow.

[JustinTyem]

I GOT IT....... Really I got............lets go DUCKY!!!!! Really,now that its Stupid. Oregon Ducks have like what White,Hunter Green,Neon Yellow,Toxic Green,Grey,Black and a couple others. Thats STUPID. Having a Green,Gold(Yellow) and White are smart.

[mgbison]

I think we should do something like what Florida does. Have the same style uniform, but have a green, yellow and white jeraey and a green, yellow and white pants. I wish we would wear white pants on ocassion, but it probably won't ever happen.

[devin45k]

Every old timer has hated any sort of change with logos and uniforms. Its adapting to the times. I am cool with the jerseys because they keep the same scheme. Its not like these other schools that are changing their logos, colors, and helmets for there alternative jerseys. We are changing with the times while keeping our tradition in tact. It's another way to grow the brand and the fan base.

I dont have a strong opinion on whether they wear them or not. I do prefer to see the gold again this weekend. Could be a good luck charm that we may have to use throughout the playoffs.

[unbison]

i dont dislike yellow.........i really think those yellow jersies look craptastic...........they look like ringer t's with numbers on them..could be the green pants as well but overall i find them ugly and cheap looking

You can keep denying it but the "gold rush" did bring in more casual fans than normal. It also created more buzz about the playoffs.

It has nothing to do with just the color yellow. Its something new and different. We are changing with the times.

I would think it was the magnitude of the game that brought in more fans, not some silly promotion.

I agree with this. I've always liked the look of a football stadium when the fan base is wearing all the same color. How can we get more people in the stands to throw on a yellow shirt?

[devin45k]

It has been accepted. C'mon...you don't like it but you have to admit it has been accepted. Sales have been good...they don't have any replicas left...for a long time now.

1st year sales should be good. Lets see how they do over a couple more years when its not supposedly special anymore. They have already killed the jersey for big games. Notre Dame used to do it with great success. But the fans never knew when they would wear them. At one time they also wore a different helment every now and then. But that was their gig.

I am sure when the marketing agreement ends they will sit down and determine whether to continue it or not. Its not written in stone.

[heffray]

Sorry, I didn't mean that we have to have one, I meant that we should ASSUME that we have to have one, because we DO have one. Only for the sake of the argument.

All depends on the numbers. Selling out a couple of hundred would not be exceptional. Now if you are talking thousands thats a different story.

[heffray]

Clearly there is a different argument going on here than not liking the color yellow. I think we can all agree that if WE HAVE TO have a third jersey, which we don't, but someone decided we do, yellow is the most logical choice. Whether you like Yellow or not as a football jersey color is subjective.

The different argument I guess is, "Why have a third jersey?" So maybe I can get your opinions on why we have this third jersey.

Just stating for the record here, that I'm not all about changing everything and making all the jerseys always look contemporary and, maybe "futuristic" is the right word. I actually prefer a jersey that looks "old school" to something like what oregon does. Even the fancy yellow strip on our green pants is not really something I like. Just some more banter.

Clearly there is a different argument going on here than not liking the color yellow. I think we can all agree that if WE HAVE TO have a third jersey, which we don't, but someone decided we do, yellow is the most logical choice. Whether you like Yellow or not as a football jersey color is subjective.

The different argument I guess is, "Why have a third jersey?" So maybe I can get your opinions on why we have this third jersey.

Just stating for the record here, that I'm not all about changing everything and making all the jerseys always look contemporary and, maybe "futuristic" is the right word. I actually prefer a jersey that looks "old school" to something like what oregon does. Even the fancy yellow strip on our green pants is not really something I like. Just some more banter.

It seems to me the main reason is--because so and so does it and its cool. It doesnt show we are progressive or staying up with the times. Its just copying what some other teams have done. There really isnt a NEED for a third jersey. If you are to have a 3rd jersey IMO it should be for a REALLY big game if you are going to do one at all. But unless you are going to foot the bill yourself you have to enter in to a marketing agreement so you dont have to foot the bill and the vendor can then make some money. To do that you have to promote the new jersey. How do you do that-------Now its not special anymore. As you see there is more at play here than just the color thing. Which as you have ascertained by now yellow isnt my favorite color. Plus it smacks in the face of tradition. I will take tradition over marketing a product anyday. If you are going market something market the product on the field of play. NDSU Football. Just sayin:)

[56BISON73]

I'm going to go right ahead and take this as a compliment. Don't care if you meant it as one or not.

Strictly a tongue in cheek compliment.. Thought it was funny.

There is just so much here that I want to say:

because so and so does it and its cool, doesnt show we are progressive or staying up with the times, some other teams - there are a lot of jersey gimicks out there and a lot of teams that do it, not just some. Yes it is a trend, and yes we are copying it, but we didn't invent football either. I think it's a good trend.

the vendor can then make some money - Wouldn't we make money too? Also, I don't see how wearing this jersey once or twice a year would be ruining anything.

Plus it smacks in the face of tradition - This argument just does not hold up. It's a trend. Why don't we have the exact same jerseys as we did years ago? Because we follow trends, it's normal. If you don't like it, it's probably because your old, and I don't mean this in a bad way, but you'll be gone soon, and you need to cater your marketing of NDSU football to the younger crowd and that's clearly what they are doing.

I think I've also gone on record that I think those throwback jerseys that the Packers have are awesome, and something similar for the Bison would be really cool too.

[heffray]

No, I did too. Stupid written word, never can tell sarcasm...

[heffray]

I was just talking to someone who is not as familiar with our program and who had never seen the Yellow Jerseys before, and he just described them as "Classy."

Just sayin'...

[BisonTeacher]

^This? ...and i'm not trying to start anything here, but can someone please explain to me what is not to like about these jerseys. I'll explain the premise of having a third jersey to you all, but I think you get it. So if you want to go on record with not liking the yellow jerseys, please answer these 2 questions:

1. Why?
2. What color do you suggest otherwise for a third Jersey?

I'm just very curious what your reasons are. I promise I won't make fun of you this time.

1. I just don't like the way this Jersey looks. Especially with the green pants.
2. Im not against them being gold...but its too much right now...maybe somewhite in there would help.

Im not against a third jersey. Could care less either way. Just not liking these ones. If your going to do it...it better look good.

[tony]

No Champions Room visit for Tony--nope!!

Wow, I swung and missed with that anyway since you do have the facial hairs. :(

[MAKBison]

Yeah those were my thoughts as well. I dont know of anyone who attended the game because NDSU was wearing those "purty yellow jerseys" WOW

Do not forget the impact on future games. A crowed all dressed in yellow plays very well on TV news ect.

[devin45k]

"Gold out" or "Gold rush" may have caused more discussion/conversation about the game than normal, but if it motivated even 5 people to come to the game I would be very circumcised!!

Yes, theyre called chicks bro

[NorthernBison]

Let me get this straight.

Before the season started there was a lot of talk about how the NDSU Marketing Department need to do new things and generate some excitement. Freshen the product up, so to speak.

Now that they have done something that is also being done around the country, many of the same people say that this is a bad thing because it breaks with tradition.

* I'm not a big fan of the Gold/Yellow Jerseys either. I prefer the Green but can live with the new ones a couple times a year.

** I'm guilty of leaving my windshirt on Saturday (Green). FYI, Green clad fans don't look much different than blue seats from where I sit. Yellow stands out.

YOu guys obviously didnt have enough "spirits" in the West lot before the game. :biggrin:

I will not buy the yellow jersey. I don't hate it but i don't really care for it. Sell throw backs and and i'll buy two!

Just for curiosity's sake, what would a throwback look like. They've always had green jerseys as long as I can remember.

Where is a equipment manager when you need one?! CAS?!

[BisonTeacher]

Just a different style. Probably more of a solid color (white or green) with stripes around the sleeves. Think like vikings purple jerseys now as opposed to vikings purple jerseys in 70's and 80's. Just cuz they are the same color, one is still a throwback.

This is the jersey I wore in the 1988 NC game (the one I am wearing, not the one salmon colored one Tranny is carrying):

See, I would prefer something like that even over the yellow ones that have. I think also, an OLD OLD OLD school one from early 1900's would be sweet too, kind of like what the Packers do. I don't like the Packers, but their throwbacks are some of the most original in the NFL. Also, to the oldsters who don't like the new stuff, this would be a good way to pay homage to our steep tradition.

[75NOVA]

Threre's no wrong here, it's just a matter of opinion. Just like people like classic cars and classic rock, but not everbody does. Scheels should sell them both. We're all on the same team. Let's shoot down some turdy birds on saturday. GO BISON!

Lastly, I actualy have a couple of other pair!!:facepalm:

[Answer Guy]

Can they be both throwbacks and original?

[CAS4127]

Can they be both throwbacks and original?

Yes, consider the clothes you pull out of the free box of the goodwill stores in Grand Spoons and wear all to frequently. They are throwbacks for the previous owners, but they are original to you!!:biggrin:

[BlueBisonRock]

Can they be both throwbacks and original?

Thinking about this.... Wouldn't the original be the ultimate throwback?

[bisonhp330]

NDSU needs to do a throwback jersey then auction them off. Better yet, a throwback helmet with ol' snorty on them. Those suckers would bring in some big bucks.

I didn't save used condoms, and, besides XXL's stretched out don't fit the likes of jsniffers like u!!

[ISXBISON]

Was at Scheel's this afternoon and the gold authentic jerseys are on sale for $199.99 if anyone is still looking to grab one. I think they were originally $279 or something like that.

[Facts]

no, i did too. Stupid written word, never can tell sarcasm...

use the sarcasm font... you idiot!

[heffray]

nah, i'm a purist, i think colored written word cheapens the authenticity of it.

[heckler]

Gold out for the Bison this weekend? Nvm izzo just tweeted they will wear yellow.

[Bison03]

Bohl broke the news on Bison Feedback tonight.

[Ginsbach]

I'm glad to hear it.

I might be in the minority, but I love the gold jerseys.

[NDSU92]

I'm sure I'll get crucified by both sides but...I was nervous about this game till I found out about the jerseys, we got dis one

[Swaghook]

I'm glad to hear it.

I might be in the minority, but I love the gold jerseys.

The players voted for the gold jerseys for this game, so they must like em.

[Hammerhead]

I like the gold jerseys but would like to see the traditional green if we get to be the "home team" in Frisco.

[heffray]

I'm glad to hear it.

I might be in the minority, but I love the gold jerseys.

You're only in the minority if you don't like yellow in our color scheme, or if you're an illogical idiot.
