Nothing real good there, but there's a few pics for those of you who couldn't make it to AA today.

BTW, how about the 9 year old who sang the National Anthem?? She was AWESOME!!!

Great photos, Grant! Thanks for sharing for those of us that couldn't make the game. It was very exciting on the internet as well.

That is the first time I've seen the new unis this season.

So what did you think of them? I have a few comments on them:

1. The tops look like they were screenprinted and is something youd expect to see Gearhart Plumbing wearing in a rec league at the Community Center. Our home unis should not say "Bowling Green". Home unis should say "Falcons". But by putting "Bowling Green" in the new font, it has to be kept together. It makes the "Bowling Green" part look like an ad and the number is too small then.

2. It doesn't seem as noticeable on the tops, but the trim on the shorts is really burnt orange, not bright orange like we typically get. It looks more like Texas orange, if that helps. Not sure if it matters or not, just making an observation


Just my opinion.

while i didn't see the men's uniforms, i did see the women's for the first time in person on saturday. the bowling is above the numerals, with the green below. it made both words stand out more than, from what i can tell from photos, the men's uniforms. overall, though, i was less than impressed. call me old fashioned, but i'm a fan of block letters on uniforms.
that said, it's who's in the clothes that count, and they performed well.

WH,
I guess I'll have to wait and see the the boys come to Kent on 1/26...at least for the road unis. I will be at the Ohio game on 2/4 as well so I'll get a chance to see the home unis up close.

I don't care for the appearance of the uniform much and I really don't like how half the guys appear to mess with the shoulders for half the game. It appears that they're too much like a cutoff t-shirt. I noticed Samarco and Floyd constantly messing with their jerseys to keep them off their shoulders.

I love the new uniforms because it gives you all something new to complain about, and that's really what it's all about, isn't it?

Of course, if they'd have kept the same unis as last year, well, that could have been complained about...

And hey, did you notice there are several different shoe styles on the players? They're all Nikes, but I mean come on...

I'm fine with the design, actually.

But if they don't stop using that single-stitched seam around the bottom of the jersey top, I'm gonna start writing letters!!! :x

From pictures on the Blade's website and bgsufalcons.com, it looks like we have the same road uniforms as last year. Am I right? If so, just curious why we didn't update the home and road unis.

I think it's because Nike shoes in general are very narrow and with the amount of foot problems for the guys on the team they have to get different styles. Could some of our foot problems be caused by Nike's? :idea:

Well...a tree fell on my shed when I was out of town. It didn't do any real damage, but I'm going to have to cut it apart....that could be an adventure.

I think I'll get one of these...they look safer than my chainsaw.

I wasn't complaining as much as stating that I don't care for them myself. I know you and others do, so let's just chalk it up to different tastes. :wink:

And I did notice the many different sneaker styles our players were sporting. I figured they each a little endorsement deal from Nike to wear a particular style. :lol:

OK, my bad for thinking it was a complaint. I should have known better. It was a statement of non-care-for-ed-ness. Yes... that's what it was. NEVER a complaint, because complaining doesn't happen here. Forgive my ignorance.
