The Unofficial Furman Football Page

What's the verdict? I kinda like, but... looked more WCU purple than FU purple. Maybe just appeared that way on TV. Also, partial to the double stripe on the helmet if you have a double stripe on the pants.

Thought they looked good.

But they didn't change our Mojo.

I doubt we see anytjing but the traditional unis the rest of the way. 0-2 in alternate gear.

They grew on me. Liked the contrast. That they didn't have 'dins on one side helped.

"When in white uniforms, white helmets are to be worn."
I'm sure this was carved into stone somewhere in Furman football history.

I'm a chronic traditionalist, but I liked them for a change even though I don't much like (uniform) change in general. -- MD

As a monotheist, and a person who values courtesy to others, I stand on the rock of white helmets for white uniforms. I cannot stand otherwise.

The color of a gentleman's belt should match his shoes. A civic-minded man would never wear a blue shirt with a brown suit. And helmets should be like soap, like undergarments... they should be white.

We would be in line with tradition if we wore purple helmets ONLY if our jerseys and/or pantaloons were purple.

Purple helmets on all-whites is nasty, and overtly unchaste. I rebuke the minions of darkness.

I thought the purple helmets looked really good and they totally grew on me.

However, they didn't look better than the white helmets and made me think of Western Carolina.

Not having DINS is a huge positive. Diamond F. We are not the Dins. We are the Paladins. Or DIAMOND F

Whether you like(d) ‘em or not, this is an opportunity for good pub for Paladin Football.

Only SoCon Team nominated. Go vote. Takes 10 seconds and NO requests for email address, last 4, DoB, or Mom’s maiden name…

Done. In general, all-black unis are not my favorite, but they seem to be the favorite in this particular twitterverse. Had I not voted for us I would have voted for South Dakota. Nothing compares to the all-whites with the double stripe.

Home should be Purple jersey, white pant, white helmet.
Away should be white jersey, white pant, white helmet.

This is my hill upon which I shall stand.

I stand with you. Our traditional uniforms are fine.

In honor of Ernest Gibson, who shouted "purple pants, purple pants" in the locker room before home games -
Just do it at least one time for him.
Go all purple at a home one day and invite him back to see it.
He did his share of putting Furman football on the map.
