spyboy1 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 It might have been the fact I forwarded the link to every thread we've had complaining about the weak-ass field graphics to the team and someone in charge finally read them. Look for the end zones to be painted yellow/gold any week now...We CAN make a difference!JeffB Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.

no97 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Because they didn't have to switch back and forth with the M for Gopher games. I guess they didn't want to have to re-do the complex logo every week, therefore just went with the V. I think this will become the norm...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will become the norm...Moose I think this is right and has been the case for at least a couple of years. When the U of M is done, they put the logo at midfield. Last year they did it after the U of M was done, I know (the "V" may not have been there--midfield may have been blank). Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

tmorss9 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I noticed yesterday that the field looked faded. It almost looked as if it had been snowed on. The Viking at the 50 did make it look better than usual. "Hats for bats. Keep bats warm. Gracias" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paint never gets "bright" enough to match the lines that exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no97 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Also, if anyone noticed, there were two green stripes running the length of the field on either side, about five yards from the sideline. That's because the Prep Bowl was played there on Friday, and the 9-Man game has a narower field. For the Prep Bowl, the lines were yellow, and were re-painted green by Sunday for the Vikes...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegame4219 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 In the Metrodome they have a different type of field turf than Atlanta and Boston College b/c in Ga we had the State Playoffs at the Georiga Dome and they painted the High School Playoffs logo at midfield and it looked fine. ALSO the Saints are painted on and it looks fine (remember since they dont own the stadium they cant paint on it because of the orange bowl)Also the Metrodome is also used for baseball so everything is painted on (even the yards markers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how well that stuff wears off, or do they have to take a paint thinner to it to fully remove it. At carthage they painted the hashes on, and they'd wear as the season went, but never fully left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorss9 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yeah, the logos looked faded, but I meant the Green of the turf looked really faded, unlike any of the fieldturf or sportturf surfaces I've seen.
