walkerws Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 2002 was the last season they wore bolts I think. That's their last season in Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorback447 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Bielema announced earlier today at a fan luncheon that the team would be wearing the uniform that they would be wearing at Auburn next Saturday in their mock game tonight. Looks like we're going all white. I absolutely love the look but would prefer if we wore it against a team that didn't wear a white helmet also.

aawagner011 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I don't mind it. As far as modern unis go, this one is fairly subdued and clean. The white helmet is tasteful. But wait, I thought the mesh cut outs signified the Washington stadium???!!? Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorback447 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Arkansas announced that they were wearing white about a week ago, FYI. I know fans and media were guessing that based off of an article that SDS wrote on a Jared Cornelius tweet that showed his new white jersey. While they were right, I'm fairly positive this is the first confirmation from Bielema that it was all-white. Again though I wish we would have saved it for the Texas Tech game. You guys own the white helmets look so I much rather would have liked us to go red/white/white or red/white/red in this game. Of all the SEC games to wear white helmets, this one would be the worst.

Interesting. Have to admit - I'd actually prefer if they'd add Black trim to the logo...make it stand out a bit more. However, they're in a a conference now with Marshall, who also uses Green 356 C, and also uses Black accents. Need to stand out somehow... (Bring back Apple Green!)

Cosmic Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 And Buffalo, quit making yourselves look like such a joke...Buffalo needs to decided what they want people to call them already. Officially change the school name through the state legislature or leave your identity alone.Just wait until the blackout game with black helmets. 120 years as blue and white (sometimes flirting with red)... I could see us becoming black with blue accents in a year or two. We're already on the road there.As an alumnus, I actually like the NEW YORK thing. They're trying to be New York State (not NYC, like Syracuse) and I think they have the "right" since they actually are a state institution (again, unlike Syracuse). It's not just a local school; there's lots of people from all over the state. It's not that unusual for the athletics to have a different logo than the academic side of the school (look at Miami); this is just a different flavor of that. There are multiple ways to refer to the school, so it's not really a name change. It literally is a State University of New York (SUNY) school.... SUNY Buffalo.

Yes, Buffalo's the only SUNY in FBS, but the way the SUNY system is set up makes it way more complicated than just settling on them for the whole state.

It technically hasn't been that since 1964. I'm not quite sure what the best solution is. Should we refer to the SUNY schools like the University of California system schools. Which sounds better, University at Buffalo, SUNY Buffalo, or New York State - Buffalo? Also, there is a Division III University College in the city also, Buffalo State College, that usually gets referred to as Buffalo State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 University at Buffalo sounds the best. But if they are pushing for the New York thing, then New York State - Buffalo is their best bet. SUNY Buffalo will just cause a lot of confusion for people who don't know what SUNY stands for, which I'm willing to bet is the vast majority of people outside of New York.

pianoknight Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah, SUNY means nothing to me. I'd vote New York-Buffalo or just NY State. I'm not familiar with Buffalo's curriculum, but they could always go with New York Tech, A&M or some other suffix if the other NYS schools fight them on claiming the "state" name.Also, SUNY (Sunny) Buffalo just sounds retarded to non-NY folks.

Yes, Buffalo's the only SUNY in FBS, but the way the SUNY system is set up makes it way more complicated than just settling on them for the whole state.Stony Brook is pretty big, but everybody else just needs to suck it up. Buffalo has the most students, the most money, D1 sports and FBS football. Most (all?) of the schools that we know of as "Wisconsin" or "Texas" or "state name" are just one part of a state system. It's just a shame nobody thought of this for Buffalo 75 years ago. It's probably a long shot to make it stick now.Yeah, SUNY means nothing to me. I'd vote New York-Buffalo or just NY State.

It's like you're part of the travel bureau trying to convince people that Buffalo is some tropical oasis in the frozen north. "Come visit Sunny Buffalo!"It's soon-e, but yeah. That happens a lot. Like how the natural instinct for most is to say "University of Buffalo" instead of "University at Buffalo". I don't think they should use SUNY; it should be some variation of New York. I think the university is too broad to be a "Tech" or an "A&M"... there's medicine, dentistry, architecture, liberal arts, pharmacy, engineering, etc.Former Sabres owner and perennial gubernatorial wannabe Tom Golisano reportedly offered UB a lot of money years go as part of a deal to change the name of the university to "New York State University". It's funny to see them heading down that path on their own years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy MidGrady Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 They would have to work themselves as U-B-N-Y.The best way to become NY, NYC football school is to invest in the program, facilities, coaches, recruiting and of course winning. Until they do that no amount of signage or logos will change their current state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's upgrades to the stadium and new training facilities coming/here this season. They have the highest paid attendance in their conference. It would take 100 years and lots of good luck to be the next Ohio State, but they could be the next Boise. Hopefully without the blue turf.
