FightingGoldenDevil 1,130 Posted July 23, 2018 ASU is getting new threads this season 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheHealthiestScratch 328 Posted July 24, 2018 I actually started an NCAA ice hockey thread here to showcase ASU’s new helmets at the beginning of the year but it never really caught on so it is funny seeing another started with ASU again. I’ve gotten to see some options of these jerseys in the early stages, a lot of hit and miss. I hope they made a good choice. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you work for ASU? Can you give and detail on what the early stages looked like? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you give and detail on what the early stages looked like? So I use to work at their rink and play on the club team so anything I was able to see was not meant to see and was for very very brief period of time. It looked like the new nhl adidas cut from afar, which would make sense to incorporate considering adidas and all but some of what I saw looked like a gray could be considered for some type of jersey, which makes zero sense to me. Being an alum I want maroon more than anything, I am so tired of black, and luckily there were some maroon designs on there as well. Other than that I can’t really give that much, I’m sorry. I’m just happy that there is no signs of an NHL team’s template to be ripped off, its a blackhawks look right now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get more people involved. Alabama Huntsville has a D1 team as well I believe. Hopefully within the next few years the game continues to expand in the south. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They played my powerhouse school back in about 1988-1990. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best alum that immediately comes to mind from Alabama-Huntsville is Cam Talbot. Surprising, but they've been pretty decent for a while as you said. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also an alum, and as much as I dislike the black and the fork being the primary, I really liked the set. I would've preferred a maroon jersey over black, as I'm sure you would've as well, but I thought the white set was pretty good. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheHealthiestScratch 328 Posted July 25, 2018 Surprisingly, UNLV looks like they are holding on to the tail end of the Knight’s success and their club program has absolutely shot up out of nowhere in the last couple years. They are my best bet for the next western team to gain a legitimate program. You say Sun Belt teams should expand, well I think a PAC 12 of hockey is in the future. Also, all I want is sparky back. The club jerseys outrank the ncaa jerseys by far in personal opinion. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The state ranks 6th in youth hockey participation and 4th in players on NCAA D1 men’s rosters and yet there is no local team for Illinois kids to play for. It seems to me there’s a first mover advantage to be had here, so if UIUC can’t figure out a way to start an NCAA program, maybe UIC or NIU should consider trying to beat the Illini to the punch. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Illini are hoping to join D1 in 2020 but there's a lot of work ahead of them. I wonder if UIC would bring their program back. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if UIC would bring their program back. That's right, I completely forgot that UIC actually had a D1 team--for how much hockey has grown in popularity in the Chicago area, I would think UIC ice hockey would be a revenue sport, especially if they price tickets right. I assume that the UIC Pavilion is still able to host ice hockey since the early 00s renovation. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJM 148 Posted August 2, 2018 These look great in person...not the biggest fan of use of our grey, but glad Sun Devil Bold is back for numbers (and Captain patch). 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Still MIGHTY 3,834 Posted August 2, 2018 Just now, AJM said: Ew. EXCLUSIVE GREY ELEMENTS. Why. Also, nice job running with the template of the pro hockey team on the other side of town. Guess I should try to go about buying last year's sweaters. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FightingGoldenDevil 1,130 Posted August 2, 2018 I like the white ones but I definitely prefer last year's colored unis. I like the helmets though 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
