I might be in the minority, but I’m hoping for a camo uniform again. I’d buy one for sure.
Not against camo in principle, but the last one looked disgusting - it was mostly gray (why did Football and men's Bball both have a gray phase)? Unfortunately the camo will probably always be associated with the DC Howdy Doody rant.

Agree that the grey wasn’t that great. Not sure the impetus for that color choice. I think some form of brown and gold camo could be pretty cool.

You didn't have to say anything... but you did. :(
Greatest blunder in WYO history? Maybe.
:eek:
Apart from hiring Schroyer and Edwards...maybe. That and UW's response to the Black 14. But the prairie gold was right up there...

I hate gray. Off topic, but Mark Branch and Wyoming wrestling is obsessed with gray. You'd think our school colors were gray/black if you just looked at the wrestling team singlets and gear.

I agree. Gold singlets with brown Steamboat stand out! What we wear makes no sense and wrestling routinely has the worst uniforms in the athletic department.

Note - I have really come around to the red/white/blue state flag look on occasion. A state flag singlet would be awesome!

That singlet is is sick. However, the best singlet in all of college sports is the white "championship" singlet.

I call them "championship singlets" because in high school you had two singlets, one regular and one white one you got to wear if you made it into a placing match. lol good times.

They did this


Also, the gold singlets are awesome, the new brown singlets they debuted towards the end of the season were all-time great singlets. Don't recall if they wore the gray/silver ones this year.

Maybe I am in the minority, but these unis are truly awful. They look like some 3rd rate AAU basketball team design. I was hoping this was an April Fools joke. If it is real, what a poor way to roll them out too. Such a missed opportunity to build excitement. Instead we show them off on a piece of foam board? Makes no sense. They mine as well been prarie gold with how bad they are. Our current unis are so clean and classy. Great teams don't change their unis much and for good reason. Tradition means something. Sure, I can get behind a special one off alternate (that is designed well) or some alternative helmets, but these are bad. Really missed the mark on the design.

Names?


Still don’t understand why tweets aren’t embedding from Twitter app. Share>copy and then post it here. I’ve shared lots of tweets.

I hope it doesn't go to the extremes that DC's era did, but I'd be happy to see some updates. Just don't change the helmet!
I’m thinking we might see a first game ‘surprise’ to the players when they are handed uniforms with their names on the back.
I was wrong. Before even the spring game.

I think the board software is designed so that if it sees "twitter.com" it'll embed correctly, but if it sees "x.com" it won't. I just went and changed the address you posted to twitter.com instead of x.com and it embedded correctly.

Watch the video. Sawvel seems to be really really loved. Hope it translates to a championship.

The interesting thing is how quick Sawvel seemed to change his mind.

I hope Sawvel is able to keep this level of excitement going into the season. The players really seem to love him. Usually that translates to playing harder and better buy-in.

The stage is certainly set. Another generational qb. Continuity. Adding to the uniforms. Player buy-in. A schedule pretty consistent with past years'. Looks to be a really good year; not really any excuses otherwise.
