Kevin W. Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 this needs to happen more often. especially in Bowl games - you're only going to see this design 1 time, why not make it special? the endzone is just begging to have some art thrown at it that breaks the status quo.I feel like you answered your own question. You're definitely right, but why do something so out of the ordinary if it's only going to be used once?

WavePunter Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Because it's your only shot to do it.. Have some fun with it and make the kids feel special.. It's only a minor detail, but one I'm sure will be noticed and appreciated by the players and most fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipolarbear Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This bowl season has been so dull, boring, and uncreative as far as uniforms/helmets go. Nobody is wearing anything crazy or daring on the national stage. Which I'm sure pleases most of you but definitely not me.Side not: UNC never wore any of their black stuff either, no?

MJWalker45 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 They got rid of black and replaced it with navy blue. But no, they didn't wear it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBolt3 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 No, they kept black but thankfully never wore it:EDIT: Gonna save some post space and put it here, Clemson is wearing all orange in the Orange Bowl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdu Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Alamo Bowl Endzones = BeautifulDamn, beat me to it. I'm seeing a lot more red in our identity. Red 3 point lines and now red in the endzone. Is this a sign of things to come... ?I doubt it. Nike designed both our new basketball court and this endzone. But they also designed new uniforms for football, MBB and WBB this year and none of them have red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilliesPhan1325 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 OT: I only tune into the non playoff bowls for background noise. How the heck are two teams from the same conference playing each other in a bowl game? Nevada vs Colorado State (Mountain West) in the Arizona Bowl. I clearly missed something.Uniform wise the matchup is "meh"That matchup drew some ire from the MW commish... And deservedly so in my opinion. That bowl game in general felt like a forgotten game. "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT! THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL!" J M yoU wish you had a Duke Dog!

the_grateful_ted Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 No, they kept black but thankfully never wore it:EDIT: Gonna save some post space and put it here, Clemson is wearing all orange in the Orange Bowl:Clemson and Michigan state are the only two schools I can really stomach wearing monochrome all the way down. Not sure why I'm ok with Clemson it seems like it would be way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bowl game in general felt like a forgotten game.Well, the teams didn't play this season so it was OK. To be honest it was a lost game, since it was broadcast on one of my local second tier stations. But this game as a whole is a reason why there are TOO many bowl games.

Cujo Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Can teams be done with the "all-in" slogan? Feels like it's been beaten death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Can teams be done with the "all-in" slogan? Feels like it's been beaten death.I second this. It would be refreshing to see a 'Only half-in' slogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be refreshing to see a 'Only half-in' slogan.Throw that in there with the obnoxious "We Are [insert team name]" that took off after the Marshall movie, as well as the "BELIEVE" that gained so much traction after the 04 Red Sox won the world series.. If you're piggy-backing a mantra, it's not a good mantra..

BamaBryan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I do realize that the term/mantra/slogan is "straight outta Texas Hold'em Poker" but I was under the impression that Clemson/Dabo was the first in college football to use it.

A mantra/slogan should be more personal to your team/institution/group of players/etcNot a Vol fan...and not exactly a slogan or mantra, but I like how Tennessee was "Team 119" in reference to the 119th season of Vols football. That's cool. Also gives it the bigger picture that 118 teams came before this one and they are part of a family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going off this Clemson ad, "All-In", "Orange Britches", "Bring your own guts". Choose one rally cry and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the slogan's longest continuous use, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even including the chrome they're doing a good job building a fairly unique and well done identity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
