nicely done Medic! (I second the poster of the year comment) You did miss the blue helmets but definite props for putting that together

[quote="PAmedic"]this is relatively close. you all owe me.

I wish numbers on the dark jerseys were white, outlined in red or blue? From a distance red / blue is hard to read.

and sock combos......Medic, will you work on a new mockup of all the possible combinations. Your Poster of the Year nomination is on the line. BJ wants you to join his club.

White helmet white shirt blue pants looks fantastic. I really wish the reds had white numbers. The blue numbers looks too busy.

None of these come close to the red on white from Rocco's years.

I read somewhere that odu would be sticking with the white ones for home games and using the blue ones on the road because it helps spread the word that they are located in Virginia.

Interesting idea. If it were up to me id say use the ones with the state on the side for all games

Does LU have any Alumni that own a clothing brand large or small?

1. Those new ODU helmets are really great. I love the concept of displaying VA.
2. I was wondering if the blue helmets were completely gone.
3. LU has a lot of combinations of uniforms that is for sure. I hope they stick with only a few of them on a regular basis... one for home, one for the road, and one for special rivalry games, one for homecoming, one for special road games. I guess that equals a lot doesn't it?
4. We can still do better on our helmets, though they are an improvement from the last ones... you know something like holographic flames with LU in block or collegiate font! :shock:

I had the same thought about sock combos but was not feeling masochistic enough

LANG wrote:* I asked Gill about uniform choices today, and he said he lets his captains choose the jersey/pants/helmet combo before each game, as long as they stay within the parameters of choosing a light jersey for road games and a dark one for home games. He said he absolutely uses the Flames’ number of Nike uni combos -- 18 at last check -- as a recruiting tool, because, hey, young football players enjoy a lot of choices. He’s not the only coach who mentions such things in recruiting.
again with 18- so I don't think we'll see blue lids. prove me wrong @LibertyEquip

Thats unfortunate...I think the red logo would pop a lot better on a blue lid (Id of gone with a blue logo on the red one personally)

I agree. I'd luv to see the blue logo on the red helmets. Especially if they were matte red!

I think you have a good point!! but instead of the holgraphic symbol, use the same metalic tape that ODU helmets have for their #'s but make them a Red'ish Metalic color as the "LU". That would be Inexpensive yet SHARP looking..... (PS: I still think we need to use that fire stuff that Lenny Kravitz gives the guy and girl on "Hunger Games" ... JK)

I think that's why I didn't like them. They looked too much like a toy helmet, almost cheap looking. A matte finish would've looked a tooooon better.

matte red would be good...and I am glad PH and I agree on the blue logo (probably the only time this year I will be able to say that and not vomit)

I wonder why they didn't choose the matte finish since they have multiple lids??? Is it because of higher maintenance? Cost? Lack of creativity? Fear of the unknown?
