Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

Anyone liking anthracite uniforms should be sent to work in coal mines and dig by hand. Horrible things.

Use your school colors. If you don't like them, change them. Buffalo Lake was orange and black. Loved them. Now everyone has black. Don't get me started on Oregon.

My buddy played football at SMSU. He took his daughter to look at the campus. Stopped at the bookstore and at that time found nothing in brown. But they did have plaid. He still shakes his head over that.

Not a fan of black MSU uniforms. Back when I was a grad assistant in the history department, MSU men's basketball wore gray. Baseball had blue. Someone else, I think wrestling, wore black. After seeing this I wrote to the school paper, the Reporter, asking if the nickname should be changed to the Rainbow Warriors because of this. Someone in the athletic department told me that the MSU president saw that letter to the editor and sent out a memo that all future uniforms would be in school colors. Too bad that she retired.

Millsy, is the accent color for BSU gold or bronze?

It is called Vegas Gold. a shade of gold.

Schwan's was Inca Gold - slightly different

Schwan's "Inca Gold" was developed and created by Milford Paxton for Marvin Schwan at his request.. Milford ran Paxton Signs and made the signs for Schwan's.

Milford never got royalties off the creation of Inca Gold.. Milford's son John was my neigbor for 20 years until he dies in 2017. Huge Mustang fan. Waved the giant Mustang flag on Hawaiian Night.

It's VEGAS Gold, thank you very much! (don't ask me why though, maybe MrMustang knows)

Never wish summer away, but looking forward to NSIC football. I try to watch as many games as possible.

Yup - both things can be true at once, and the early season games are my favorite for that reason.

I've always liked Augie's color scheme btw. Cool primary logo too.

I have a hockey puck with the throwback logo on it, very reminiscent of the Ole statue on campus.

Witt, said AU home uniforms pop on photo's.

Mustangs uniforms have true gold colors.

Augie and many other schools across this great land have yellow in their uniforms and cal it gold, "baloney" yellow is yellow. Nothing to ashamed of.

Ahh - yeah, I remember those now. Yeesh.

Basketball has been on such a tear lately with unis that I guess I forgot they even had them - maybe they weren't quite as memorable because they weren't paired with gold helmets.

Probably closer to lake blue. It really looked like the Timberwolves colors, white with blue and green accents, and they also had an all blue uniform with white and green accents.

The gold/tan is hard to explain. It isn't Mankato or Goofer gold, it isn't Vegas gold, it isn't really tan, either. And the fact that it doesn't look like the same color across programs.....

Women's hockey only wears them on special occasions, so I am okay with that.

Yeah that "gold" looks like they are using the color of the Beaver.....I don't hate it, but some colors like that don't transfer as well on certain fabrics so it looks inconsistent.

I'm surprised I do not remember that blue trim on the basketball jerseys at all. That's definitely interesting.

As a Michigan fan I'm contractually obligated to call it Maize, not yellow.

Basketball got grays at the same time....also hideous. Other programs may have as well.I'm guessing it had to do with pricing, I'm pretty sure gray ones were considerably cheaper than brown ones. But still, considering how they've ponied (ha) to get the brown jerseys in years since, I'm guessing the alumni and donor base spoke loudly about the grays enough that I don't think we'll ever see that again.

You're probably spot on - I know the black unis were crowdfunded, I think I gave $10 or something towards them.

The football grays still exist... I see them every now and again. Usually for things like scout team and spring practice. So at least there's a silver lining - we're not ruining our good uniforms before the game starts.

Blue like lake blue or Babe blue? I mean, I can kinda get both on a one-off from a marketing perspective but it's not like you're really buying or selling those jerseys either.

As for gold, is it like a Mankato "gold" (aka yellow) or gold like Bemidji's secondary color (more of a tan, I guess you could call that though)?

Those grays were horrendous. To be honest, I thought I'd like them when they were first announced - our uniforms before then were starting to show a lot of age. But once I saw them on the field I was completely out.

I don't know why, but I have always been a fan of contrast. If you wear a dark top, you wear a light bottom, and vice versa. Must be the old school in me.

And I have never been a fan of colors that are not part of your school scheme. Black is overdone, but I realize today's players like it. I also didn't like it when BSU had a basketball coach who threw blue uniforms into the rotation (Jeff Guiot). And now some of the BSU programs are throwing gold jerseys into the mix, um, no, not a fan.

Now, get off my lawn!!!!
