Gothic Uniforms?

I sort of like 'em ! Frankly, I don't like the white helmets -- wearing white, purple or black.

.02

and, Go Cats !!
 
According to Inside NU, the Cats will be wearing the gothic uniforms on Saturday http://www.insidenu.com/2015/9/30/9...otball-uniforms-minnesota-gothic-under-armour.

Personally, I hate 'em, but then I think we should always wear purple jerseys and white pants when playing at home.


Ugh, really don't like the Hogwarts unis. Will say, the would have been cooler last week against Ball State, at night, with the full moon going. But regardless, if we are going to change unis week to week, which frankly I think is a blast, gonna have some hits and misses to each fan I guess.
 
For a "one-off" uniform I think they're great. I'm a little surprised they're being worn again. I mean there has to be this year's "one-off," right?
 
Night game or Halloween. I hope it is a cool day because those black clothes are hot in the sun. I credit part of our win at Duke to the white jersy's.
 
Is there a standard UNI? Seems like there should be a standard UNI. There is all this talk about identity and branding, I'm a long time fan and I don't even know what we look like.

I really liked the NU Stripe Jersey's. I don't care about the helmets so much.
 
I am pretty sure our 'standard uni' is the purple helmet, purple shirt, white pants combo we wore vs. Stanford. I think the purple shirt/black pants combo has been kind of retired as the standard.

So is that just standard this year? Is there no traditional look?

The players pick the colors.
I personall like the purple and white although the armed forces unis were pretty cool. UA contract has a clause where nu picks one off color uni a year.

Seriously, do they do laundry any more, or just toss the uniforms after each game?
 
I love 'em! I like that the 'Cats are breaking them out when we're not the underdog, for a change, so that when we win people can stop calling them bad luck.

I also love the Gothic uniforms. I'm wearing my Gothic-style NU hoodie right now. You guys were up in arms about white big-cat helmets against Duke and we won there. Stop believing in superstition.

We should just be happy that these uniforms actually look nice. Need I remind you it's been much worse:

At least now, when we DO wear purple, it is an actual purple, not some periwinkle shade or whatever we used to get. and the purple hue seems consistent now too.

As has been stated numerous times on this board the special uniforms are for the current players and potential recruits. remember a current recruit moved NU into his top two because he liked our uniforms.
 
Agree 100%. Love the Purple and White!!! Dislike the Goth period!!!
I absolutely love the Goth uniforms and I love the flat black helmets with the cat on them, I also love the white helmet with the cat. The purple helmet with the N is beyond dated and ugly.
 
Just being honest. Michigan is going to wear Jordan next season.
Would saying Ryan field needs updated or replaced get me a Woah also ? We can honor old traditions and start new ones. NU is on the rise, lets honor the old and start some new traditions to go along with the success we are going to have these next years.

No, but I like the purple helmets. I'm okay with them being used only occasionally but wouldn't want to get rid of them entirely.

I agree, you honor tradition . You can use them as motivation to commemorate great players and teams of the past. I love tradition, but also like starting new traditions. I love throwback uniforms too because I grew up with them. Just do everything we can to build and promote the Northwestern football program. Give everyone what they want.
 
Jango has the flat black with the silver cat, I want the white with the purple cat. I really like what Northwestern has been doing on and off the field.

yeah but Michigan sucks.

I like our stadium. Update it to give modern amenities (although I do not care), but keep the old school look and feel.

Something about walking up to the stadium really lifts my spirits.

Sorry, but NU is already dropping a quarter of a Billion $$$s on the Lakeside facility. Perhaps when Jango is a successful NFL player he can donate $10 Million or so to start the Ryan/Glackin Field renovation project......

Michigan is going to surprise a lot of people this year. I think the next few years they will definitely be good. I love Ryan's grass field. Just update the facilities and give it a face lift.

There will be plenty more money for NU to upgrade Ryan Field and Welsh Ryan when they win the National Championship AND make the Big Dance for the first time this year.

Hope someday he is in a position to do that.

To be clear, when I say "Michigan sucks", it is because I despise them, like how Midvale hates all things Iowa and E-cat loathes dOSU. I lived in Michigan for 15 years, before the program fell apart, and grew to dislike the team, the baby poop M, the stupid stadium with no room to fit your butt in the seat, the obnoxious fans, etc. Then, I got the treat of living out west when the most arrogant coach that ever lived coached the Stanford Cardinals (sic), so pairing him with his baby poop and blue alma mater was just the icing in the cake. Losing to them 3 years running in hilarious fashion doesn't help.

I thought "Michigan sucks" would be self-explanatory but I know you are still kinda new to us :)
