Avenger Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Boring's better than bad. I'll give it credit for that. Bonus points for celebrating the past, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Old school, and distinctly BU.I like them better than the Red Wing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I like them, a nod to the past and in keeping with the current look. Better than a giant cartoon terrier head.By the way, Gordie rules and I want you to all know that! He's made more than one vector file for me on the request board over time and I appreciate his kindness.JeffB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 They should just use these as the road, make a white one to match for home, and ditch the Red Wings jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Eh. They're almost unnecessary, since they're so generally similar to their currents. (Yes, I know, different striping pattern, but I think you can figure out what I mean.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made more than one vector file for me on the request board over time and I appreciate his kindness.That's a topic that deserves a thread all to itself. Thanks, Jeff.Mockba, the reason I like them is because they are a similar look, but one that's distinctly theirs. Though they've used the Detroit pattern for so long that it's traditional now, I think major hockey programs like BU and Wisconsin ought to have their own unique style. Same goes for St. Cloud State.

Dan12020 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I like 'em. At least they didn't go crazy with stripes and crap. And even though I like the dreaded mooterus jersey, I'd go with something an old school third over most other third sweaters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can dig what you're saying. It just seems pointless to have an alternate jersey so similar to one of your home/away jerseys. If they were changing their jerseys to this, that'd be one thing, but as an alt? Meh.St. Cloud actually has some new jerseys this year, I believe.

boardname Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I'm a BU alum ('03), and live blocks from the arena still..I don't think I like them. When I first saw "3rd sweater" I envisioned something with the Terrier logo (you can see it to the left, below), which I would have loved, and possibly something with black, which I didn't really like the thought of but would have been okay with.But this.. looks pretty much the same as we have now. Why bother with an alt when it's hardly any change at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordie Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Boardname, it would be cool to see the terrier on a sweater, but wouldn't the addition of black to BU's uniform make them too similar to Northeastern's?I've only seen BU's hockey uniforms. Do any of their other teams use black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of their other teams use black? Well, just about every collegiate team in the Boston area uses red, it seems - including 100% of the Beanpot, so similarity with NU shouldn't be a problem.But no, I don't believe any use black, though I can't say I've seen any besides hockey and basketball. I'm almost positive that when we had a football team, it DID have black though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Northeastern wears all black for football.BU would never have to worry about being confused for Northeastern, no matter how much black they added. They could add black for outline purposes, it's used in every other sport at BU.The only schools in Hockey East with a black jersey are UMass (alternate), Northeastern (sometimes) and Providence.Here is the list of the non-white jerseys:UNH: Navy Blue, Silver altMaine: Navy Blue, Navy/Light Blue altUMass-Lowell: RedMerrimack: Navy BlueProvidence: BlackUMass: Maroon, Black altBU: RedBC: MaroonNortheastern: Red or Black, alternating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 i like the thirds for obvious reasons they should make em the main set...and to the guy who said UW needs to ditch the Red Wings style, finally-somebody who agrees with me! it irks me that my fav college icers look so much like my Avs' most hated rivals...heck, I'll take anything.

slapshot Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Maine's 3rd is very gaudy...it's just a weird designUMass' black alt is actually quite plainUNH's silver alt is not good at all...it's hard to read the names and numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
