Did we get rid of the maroon stripe on the helmet?

I know most teams put decals on the helmets at the end of preseason camp, but I don't ever recall the maroon stripe missing during camp (at least ever since we've added it to our helmets).

Those unis look sharper than anything we have had in the last 7 years.

That could just be a practice helmet. I know some teams have those.

I would miss the maroon stripe. I also hope the new UA jerseys don't have any of that shoulder piping. These aren't hockey sweaters.

EDIT: I don't think the real uniforms will have shorts either. :ignign

While I'd love to see the end of the slanty numbers, not if these are the uniforms:

Those practice jerseys, both colors, are a thousand times better than last year's unis.

I wish those were the new unis...but last year they had vertical numbers in spring and still had the slanty numbers that are better suited for The Ocho.

Agreed - at this point I would take these as the uniforms (with long pants of course). The piping is a little annoying, but not terrible.

I would like an artic white hor bright white that matches helmet with a maroon nasty eagle that someone poster here had years ago that was a thing of beauty.

A firece eagle, unlike the angry chicken, on both sides, wings etc.

I would go for that full blown eagle landing or with talons--- on one side ------a number on the other side it would be so throwback and maybe a thin double 1960's type of stripe?

Where is Eagle Talon who designed my Eagle 1 recruiting jet.

He is the other BC PHD in engineering. Talon has the pwoer and the talent.

I am just overpaid stupid upper management.

I'll miss the maroon stripe on the helmet. Not a fan of the piping - it looks too much like Terp gear. Fortunately, it'll only appear on the practice unis.

TobaccoRoadEagle {l Wrote}:talon doesn't like us and migrated back to ei.


What name does she post under over there?


I'd like to see a change back to no stripe on the helmet and I like the piping on the shirt too.
