oddball Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I just flipped on the Fresno State LaTech game and noticed that Fresno has no logos on the helmet. Is there a reason why? Did Pat Hill take them away because they no longer are that team that will play anyone anywhere anymore? *A bit of sarcasm there.* On a side note, LaTech's all blue uniforms look nice.

OB33 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 A few weeks ago, they took the helmet decals off before the New Mexico State game because the team didn't feel like they had "earned" them. It shouldn't be a permanent switch but Fresno is 2-0 since making the switch.EDIT- Here's a link to the story:http://www.fresnobee.com/189/story/13495.html #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statebully Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 fresno state has always been really weird about their uniform stuff. they have that V thing on the helmets, which is weird and a different color than their normal stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherwilds Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 The V decal is actually a cool, unique thing that tho not aethically pleasing has meaning and I hope they bring it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityOfWalrus Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 The "V" symbol stands for the San Joaquin Valley..Bulldogs suck anyways!68-34! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 1-The removal of the bulldog, as OB33 alluded to, was from the players. The upperclassmen thought that the Freshman who practice as scout team before the New Mexico State game were not worthy of carrying the decal. Head coach Pat Hill decided that if it was not good for the Freshmen to wear at home, then the whole team, which had lost their last seven games prior to NMSU, were not worthy either. The coaching staff has not worn hats or visors to add to the "unworthiness".2- To clarify what was stated by "CityofWalrus", the Green "V" on the back acknowledges the San Joaquin Valley where Fresno is located. Pat Hill initiated the "V" in 1997. The green symbolizes the agricultural background, since nearly 25% of the US's farmland in terms of actual dollars is within this region where they get over 40% of their players and their target audience, as north as Modesto to as south as Bakersfield, along CA Hwy. 99. hill wanted to create a local feel similar to the Green Bay Packers. The "Green V" has also become a premium level for donations for teh Fresno State athletic programs,over $10,000/year.Up until 2005, California State University Fresno (Fresno State) was the major research, and most well known university in Central California. The University of California-Merced opened its doors in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh...you know you have a team full of losers when they start pulling this kind of stuff. What is this, third grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
