jimsimo Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm still trying to figure out what was wrong with the uniforms they had.They now truly look like a lower mid-major program.Regarding FAU, as long as Coach Schnellenberger is there, their uniforms will remain classy and traditional.

rmackman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 While we are on the topic of Sun Belt Conference teams, I just want to point out that Riddell sells mini-helmets for North Texas, Troy, Arkansas State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, and Western Kentucky. So that's pretty much half the conference. No FAU, no FIU, no MTSU. What gives!?!?! "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Eh, they're alright. I think FIU can afford to try different things and take risks because they don't have any tradition set up yet. They're still new, rarely win, and probably have not done well in merchandise sales. I say why not try different ideas out? It's when the established programs go wild that it really hits a nerve with me. Either way, FIU can do what they want but they still don't look better...or play better...than the best team in the Sun Belt Conference! OH MY GOD!! A Ucla-style shoulder loop that actually works the way it supposed to??!! That's crazy!! And it by Nike??? So why do they otherwise( see their work with LSU, Saracuse and the above mentioned Ucla) can't seem do the full wrap around shoulder loop to save their lives??Thanks Nike...they went and took off the full shoulder loop on FAU right after we discussed it. Oh well. C'est la vie! "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.

sacker12 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 It looks like the reason why the stripe doesn't go around the shoulder on the FAU jersey is because they are not using cap sleeves on the jersey worn today, while the jerseys previously pictured feature skill sleeves.Edit: After looking at another picture from today's game, it does look like FAU switched to the lineman/cap sleeve cut jersey with the shorter sleeve. The picture of Rusty Smith on the front of the website shows him with an open sleeve that is noticably shorter than the picture of him from the New Orleans Bowl.

sacker12 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 I don't like the fact that the stripes on the back and the pant stripes mismatch. I don't think they look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpygremlin Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 What I really don't like is how the "Panthers" script on the uniform matches the old logo, but yet the end zone "Panthers" script matches the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
