Over use of black. :ohno:

Your school colors are purple and white.

Yeah I agree, I was hoping for purple jerseys and black pants, but oh well, they look 100 times better than our old ones. Our sports teams have adopted Black as our 3 color, our basketball team has to.

I know there's an emotional attachment to the old unis, but seriously, Montana — when one of your former school colors is listed in the PPG catalog as "Ditzler Rusted Turd Basecoat" and was prominently featured in an AGS site redesign, it's probably best to leave 'em in the closet

First off...good to see ya bitch!

Secondly, and most importantly, we do not define ourselves or what we like by the actions of others and their mimicry or non mimicry. We certainly don't do it by the name you or others chose to pin on it. :thumb:

Even though most of the all black uni's are pretty bad ass, I'm not a fan of schools adopting a non-school color as well. It was cool when a few schools did it, but now it seems like it's something everyone does.

Then why did y'all abandon your sweet potato uniforms and switch to maroon and silver? Either what you like changed, or you changed based of what others make fun of you for. Hmmm.

Truncated for accuracy. ;)

The premier site for uniform junkies, uniwatch.com, has a name for this... BFBS... black for blacks sake. Everything you ever wanted to know about black uniforms...

I get tired of having to teach guys shit but I'll hand out another lesson for ya skel, Maroon & Silver were the original colors which were then changed to copper, silver, gold in the late 60's up through the 1995 season. Then for some reason (costs) they claimed, they reverted back to the original colors.

See you missed the point fucko. The point was that we do what we do not based on a god damn thing you want to call it or if you like it or not. Now shut your mouth.

It wasn't. It was a one time gimmick that didn't work but I'm having trouble seeing how or who we were taking that from and it was for the simple reason that they were given to us or something as a "special" event uni.

They really sucked though. :lol:

I didn't see your replies until I went and looked at how long it's been since bench had been on here so sorry for the lateness of the reply. :D

The light blue helmet with white horn could have been the worst idea in the history of the game. And that is coming from a guy who used to wear yellow and yellow banana uniforms occasionally. :oops:
Yeah but don't you believe in something known as the resurrection? :rofl:

Speaking of dead, maybe your program can get its CAA record to look as good as its uniforms.

I don't see why Montana's modern unis are in this thread. One could make an argument about their old ones, but I just don't see it for the new ones.
