Bigboy1083 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The Wolf Pack/Whale's broadcast booth is seven stories above the ice. I don't know how they can follow the game from that far away. Thanks KaTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDmo Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Pretty sure announcers use binoculars as well as live video feeds of the TV broadcast. Even then they sometimes can't identify the player but that usually happens if the player doesn't turn his back on the play (assuming no shoulder numbers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binoculars may come into play when a player is hurt and you can't tell who it is, but I've personally never seen them used.

Buster Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I liked these except for the fact that black is not one of WVU's colors... Perhaps that's why the uniform is navy blue (a very dark shade of navy blue, for that matter)...Nope. Its black.definitely looks blue to meYep, look at the contrast with the ref's black pants. Definitely Navy Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Those uniforms are straight-up black. Anyone who's followed Bob Huggins knows he has a penchant for outfitting his teams in black. He's like the June Jones of college basketball or something--I mean heck, check his sideline attire. Anyone remember the whole BFBS fiasco that popped up at K-State some years back? Yep...that had Bob Huggins written all over it. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binoculars may come into play when a player is hurt and you can't tell who it is, but I've personally never seen them used.So how bad is that? I broadcast for Mercyhurst, and the NCAA Atlantic Hockey and ACHA circuits don't have any arenas that big, but when I announced at Tulio Arena in Erie (home of the Otters), it took a period, but after that it was surprisingly easy to identify players, better than small rinks. Is it like that in Hamilton, or is there a point where it's just too far away?Oh, and I've never seen anybody use binoculars during the play either. It's simply too tough. Very handy for stoppages though I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 For all this talk about West Virginia's black jerseys, I have wondered since last year what color Butler's road set is. I know the school colors are navy and gray, so it wouldn't make sense for them to wear black. The jersey looks black in some shots and navy in others. The sheen of the jerseys makes them look navy, yet the close up shots of the jersey against the lighter navy trim make them look black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to Eastbay here, it claims that the shorts are black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are simply atrocious. There is a navy stripe on the black base at the bottom of the shorts and coming down from the armholes; further, the trim on the neck and arm holes has navy on it. It's really hard to see. Black and navy do not go together, please figure this out: WVU, Butler, SMU, Gonzaga, and any other team who does it. Dribbble ...

Sodboy13 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I don't know if we got to see Butler's home whites at all last year in the tourney, but they wore them in their opener this year. The numbering is navy with a thick black outline, and it's every bit as horrendous and borderline illegible as it sounds. If navy is your primary color, you don't need to add black. It's a combo that's worked exactly once - on the Blue Jackets' old alts. Leave it be.And message to Bob Huggins: that whole "black is slimming" thing only goes so far. Leave the track suits at practice, dress like a grown-up coach on the sidelines, and back off the hair product, you slimy goo-tub.

Bmac Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 So does Gonzaga wear black? I only caught a glimpse of them in the highlights and they looked black. I really wish teams would stop replacing navy with black. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the colors that Nike hand-picked for them aren't "kewl" enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Without reading a good portion of this thread, I am staunchly against dark numbers on dark jerseys because it's usually hard to read or just looks horrible in general. When it comes to sports I define dark as anything other than white, silver, gold, and maybe some other exceptions (like a really light blue). So for instance, the Saints and Raiders' home blacks with gold and silver numbers are fine. But college football teams like Middle Tennessee's black with blue numbers, Mississippi State's black with maroon numbers, or Washington's black with purple numbers are horrific. They look terrible and are impossible to read from any distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
