Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

I can't seem to find a photo - but I believe we have a uniform combo of gold helmets, brown top, and brown bottom with matching gold accents.

That one is my favorite, but I don't think it gets worn often. I just think it's the cleanest look, no breaks in the color scheme, and the brown tone just felt professional to me.

The black unis that were debuted last season weren't awful, but I prefer school colors over blacks, whites, and especially grays (yuck).

Always have liked the earthy colors of SMSU uniforms. Brown tops and old gold helmets and pants. I'm sure Mustangs have a different description of colors?

They're just known as "Brown and Gold" as far as I'm aware.

I've always felt that our color scheme was representative of the university and the area it serves - I always thought about it as brown dirt cast against a golden sunset, a little nod to the topography and agricultural industry, though I believe "gold" is representative of native prairie grasses.

When I was there, a project group in my class did a survey about SMSU branding and it came back pretty negative - which blew my mind. I'm sure some see it as "number one" and "number two" - which fair enough, I guess. What I didn't understand was why the logo was so unpopular. That was just a student survey so probably not reflective of everyone, but still.

Here's a Fun Fact: Part of the reason Minnesota State uses a bull for a logo is because SMSU has a horse - in 1977, MSU held a "name the mascot" thinktank and the winning submission was the name "Maverick." The initial design was of a horse - but the NIC already had a horse mascot and MSU's design was too similar. President Douglas Moore changed it to a steer - a nod to his homeland of Texas.

Personally, I think "Fighting Muskies" would have been cool too - which was another popular option.

Makes sense that you would like them....because the grays were the worst! I can tolerate black as a non-school color jersey but not gray.

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 like Minot's Christmas beaver combination and SMSU’s old grays.

Bemidji is a solid pick. Now that I think about it, MSUM too. White helmets look nice.

I agree, Bemidji has been up there for me as well. The white helmets put them over the top!

I've always been partial to hunter green uniforms, therefore BSU Beavers uniforms ring my bell.

I've always liked UM-Duluth's unis... no idea why.

We could debate if pineapple goes on pizza. Im for it as it tastes good with bacon or pepperoni.

Pepperoni with pineapple and jalapeño.

And good job getting to 100 pages (based on my settings).

I do like pineapple but with ham or Canadian bacon. Otherwise what's the point?

How's about something more relevant lol

Like, who has your favorite NSIC football uniform, but you can't pick your own team.

I would say I most enjoy watching USF games to see what they are wearing these days. Close second would be Augustana.

First of all there are a lot of irrelevant topics here already. I wanted to add to it.

Secondly I will have to go with Augustana. Those colors always make for good uniforms.

I went to a game at USF once - it was like week two. It was a hair over 100 at kickoff - and they came rolling out in black jerseys.

To be fair it cooled off somewhat by halftime but still. Wow.
