The helmet should be featured in any poster/promotion.LOL. Coffee spew on monitor.
Fair enough. But you all often tell me to 'trust the coaches'.
Well the prior coaches thought black was good.. these new coaches think grey is good - Though I find that interesting for a group led by CH who HATED Citadel. It would be different if it were a set of coaches w no ol' school Furman ties but I admit I am a little surprised that CH allowed colors so close to Citadel.. oh well, not a big deal to me.The key word there, "Nike".AstroDin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 9:20 amI'm guessing if you poll the team - they love the addition of Armour Gray. I've mentioned a few times before Purple and White as a color combination often have a complementary color - Silver, Black, Gold are the common ones.
Examples; Washington Huskies, TCU Horned Frogs, Northwestern, K-State, ECU, Western Carolina to name a few.
Purple and White is perfectly fine and IMO a classic combo that should forever be Furman's go-to combination. But there is history here. I'd have to ask Dennis Zeiger - I believe he visits this forum to jump in here, The first Diamond F helmet was a silver helmet, not a white helmet, also early on I think silver britches were worn, as well as Furman had a silver prominent stripe on the pants and helmet.
I like how Furman Football positioned the Gray as Armour Gray and with the current uni design - we now have a crisp, military-inspired look. I think the poster looks great, it's building a brand that's gritty, and I bet for high schoolers relevancy.
* I'll also take a hit on the black - had no problem with that too = a bit of honesty it was a trend folly - and grew tired quickly. I don't think GRAY will do the same. Part of the problem with that batch of black era unis - they looked dated right after they came out. IMO a poor Nike design.

I remember thinking it, but stomaching the cheapness look because I thought it wasn't a terrible idea to try something new. In hindsight, the black didn't work - and the team's performance in those uniforms wasn't great - and I'm glad they went away from all of those options.
