Uniform & Helmet Changes

[NDN4Life]

I got to thinking, I love the old school zig zags as well. But once I saw that old school helmet w/ the "I" on it, I love it. White Helmet, Purple Stripe down the middle, w/ the old school "I" or something similar and a gray facemask.

That one is my second favorite.

I admit that I love them all--unless they use silver, black or especially lavender! I love our solid purple uniforms. Has anybody else noticed that over the years if we would use purple pants with a white top it seemed like we lost almost, if not all, the games?

If we keep the purple helmet we need to get them like the Vikings, Northwestern or the last Lincoln helmets. They're not a lighter purple it's actually metallic purple paint. Ours aren't painted and over the years the puple shells fade to where they don't match the uniforms. Painted helmets are the way to go now, even the good white helmets have a pearl or metallic finish. What if he brings a pseudo Permian look. White helmet, single purple stripe, gray mask and PNG diagnolly in elongated letters like Permian's P. Not saying I want that but I hope we get a new look the logo on our helmets are way too small.

You should see the painted helmets we had one year for softball all-stars. They were purple and had feathers hand-painted on them - they looked like headdresses, they were done by some of the arts students at the High School. They were fine!!! Maybe a little too girly for football, but they were fine!!!!

I heard something else this past weekend about those SILVER helmets.....man, I sure hope they don't use those. I was told they were already purchased. Let's hope they send them back. Of course, this is just one traditional loving INDIAN's belief! ;D

If that is true, than maybe someone needs to introduce Coach Faircloth to this web site and show him what other people think about those helmets. Hey NDNS81, why don't you call and find out if this rumor is true or not. If it is, share our point of view with the coach.

They don't talk to me any more over there - not allowed to because whatever they tell me ends up on here as public knowledge - Hello!!!!

;D ;D ;D HAhaha...lol...hay, they have a new staff. Maybe they have not heard about you yet! :hi:

Zig Zag, White elmet with the 70s logo spear & PNG INDIANS! perfect!

 

[pngfan93]

Part of me thinks that since its a new era, let's try something new!

 

[Aces_Full]

Zig Zags were the best. I also like how they had Big Purple on the dark unis that year.

 

[PNGIndianFan06]

I think if he makes any changes, he will loose the names on the back of the uniforms so he can unify the kids into a team. No stand outs but true team effort; MHO.

 

[ShlyKBMT]

The names are coming off, but back to the silver helmets. What is the plan is to copy Florida St.

Silver shell, no stripes
Purple mask
Purple and White FSU spear.

Still I'm hoping no silver my preference is metallic purple like the Vikings or Northwestern second choice is a pearl white finish. Not sure what logo.

 

[afndn]

Silver? Always be faithful, to the purple and white... and silver. :huh:

:faint:

One word...

UGH.

Ever notice that some of the greatest programs (at any level) go through relatively few uniform changes.

 

[NONS81]

PURPLE HELMETS!!! Was that loud enough - I hope they heard me in the fieldhouse!!! ;D

 

[IndianFan]

Maybe ordering silver helmets was a parting joke by MB... ;D (just kidding)

 

[Purple Rain]

I wonder if the "silver" helmet, that everyone is so up-in-arms about, is just a generic picture showing the features and style of this type of helmet? I also wonder if all the helmets are manufactured grey colored and when a team/school orders them, they are painted to the school's specifications? Just a thought? HHHHUUUUUUMMMM!

great. I think I dislike the FSU spear on the helmet worse than the silver color. Out of all the past helmets it was my least favorite but making a change isnt a horrible thing.

 

[ScalpEm24]

I agree, a change is totally ok and honestly somewhat expected from a new coach wanting to put his own stamp on the program. I just can't see us in SILVER helmets. Second, let's hope that the FSU spear on the side is just a bad rumor. I can't stand that decal. And I am with others when I say that I thought that was one of the worst changes to our helmet logo in a long time, but what can you do? Coach Faircloth is the leader and if that is what he wants, then I reckon that is what he will do. Regardless, all of us that bleed PURPLE will still chant the night away!!! I-N-D-I-A-N-S!!!!
ScalpEm!
