Moser316 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 This one probably slipped under the radar (because hey, it's Tulsa ), but they just unveiled new football uniforms last Friday:LinkNot sure if anybody mentioned it yet, but this is my first time hearing about this, and I haven't seen anything here or at Fanhome about it...

Moser316 Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 If you've seen what they had before, it's a major improvement. Basically, it was a gold/blue (main/secondary color) rendition of the Broncos-style uniforms with blue helmets. This year, they're changing the helmets back to gold with this uniform combo...

Moser316 Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 When Marquette had football (pre-1961), their teams were called the Golden Avalanche, because we have a lot of avalanches in the Milwaukee area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 When Marquette had football (pre-1961), their teams were called the Golden Avalanche, because we have a lot of avalanches in the Milwaukee area golden avalanche? funny, i was under the impression that they were the hilltoppers back then. never really crossed my mind, though. and i'll be damned, the cane put red in.another note, tulsa provides info on why their name is 'golden hurricane' at their team site (i'm too lazy to get the address, just use google, you'll find it). basically it indirectly involved georgia tech and was mainly for pub.critique: i like this look, even though i liked the last look it was too bronco-style to last imo. i gotta say, i hope they have an alternate gold jersey to go with these, cus ncaa 04 has last years uni w/inversed helmet (predominantly gold) and that looks good to me. tulsa will still suck in real life but maybe the 'look good, don't have the sooners on your sked, play good' mantra will hold true A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 Why shouldn't they? The colors for the Hurricane flags are red and black? And while looking through one of my old Athlon NCAA football yearbooks the other night, I came across a picture of some red Tulsa home jerseys from the mid-late 1990's. I'll see if I can find it again so I can scan a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCScout76 Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 With the exception of the #5 the unis kinda remind me of the New York Giants football team from a few years back.Tulsa would be more conductive to "Tornados" than Hurricanes - afterall they in "tornado alley"!!

A new football coach, Howard Acher, came to town and inherited a slew of nicknames dating back to 1895. Past Tulsa teams were referred to as Kendallites, Presbyterians, Tigers, Orange and Black, and Tulsans. In the fall of 1922, the team nickname was "Yellow Jackets," which was apparently due to the fact that the team was wearing new black and yellow uniforms instead of the traditional orange and black. The team opened the season and it was apparent that Tulsa was going to have a great year, and trying to seize some publicity for his team, Acher wanted to find a new nickname quickly. After a remark was made in practice one day about "roaring through opponents," and because of their new jersey colors, he thought of Golden Tornadoes. However, he quickly found out that the name had been taken by Georgia Tech a few years earlier. From the tornado, he evolved meteorologically to the hurricane. A few days before the team left for a game against Texas A&M, Archer asked the squad to vote on the name, and thus "Golden Hurricane" was born.

yh Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Does anyone else think that the white on the collar loooks out of place with there not being any other white elements?Depends on whether there are white sleeve stripes that are not visible in the picture due to the sleeves being tucked in a bit. If there's no sleeve striping then yes, it would be a bit distracting.And while we're on the subject of Tulsa, their on-filed mascot costume is a riot.
