Viks get new unis

[laxVik]

Sorry not the greatest pictures. They're very similar to the old design. I like them personally. It works. The away one is pretty cool as well.

[AggieFinn]

They look good to me. Blacker is better, especially in Portland, there's enough green for everybody xlolx

Here's the new Oregon State unis by Nike..I do not like these.

They look like bras that are too small

BTW, does he ever take the sunglasses off in public?

[Mountain Panther]

And do the new PSU uni's have ANY green?

[Zoo]

Cool uniforms, Nike just didn't go completely overboard this time.

I also don't see any green either. xconfusedx

[UncleSam]

I like the helmet, the uniforms, not so much.

[GeauxColonels]

And do the new PSU uni's have ANY green?
I may be mistaken, but I believe the torsos on the home jerseys are a very dark shade of green.

Do the helmets have logos on them at all? Or just that "viking spear"?

[saccat]

Those look great. We shall see how they look when the Helmet is buried in your hands after we beat you again. xsmiley_wix

I know Smack on the other board.

[AggieFinn]

LOVE 'em.

Seriously, there'll be almost no sun in Portland come mid-season xcoolx

[laxVik]

I may be mistaken, but I believe the torsos on the home jerseys are a very dark shade of green.

Do the helmets have logos on them at all? Or just that "viking spear"?The torso section color is described as grey. I've been told the old logo is still on the side of the helmet but it's hard to tell with these small pics.

[GaSouthern]

take the face mask off and it looks like a motorcycle helmet! I like em!

[furman94]

I like the helmets. I hope the old logo isnt going to be on the sides though. The spear is sweet!

[McNeese75]

They look nice. We voted and agreed it would be nice to break the new unis out right so we are asking the Vikes to wear the black home jerseys when they come to the Hole on September 1st :D

They should fit the weather just fine xnodx

Tell Jerry we expect him in black as well.

[DuckDuckGriz]

That looks alot better than the first image we saw.

Finally, a working uniform combo in the state of Oregon xthumbsupx

[Mountain Panther]

I actually hope they take the old logo off the side.

xconfusedx Am I the only one who thinks these look like absolute CRAP? xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx

WTF is wrong with you people? PSU has just gone from near the top of my list to the absolute last spot in all of Division I. xsmhx

[andy7171]

I think I like the helmet, kinda XFL-ish. I liked the Viking/Locomotive logo alot. It needs some green incorporated somewhere on the rest.

I completely forgot Glanville was the coach. These uniforms make much MUCH more sense with him in the picture.


All black, in the heat at McNeese, LOL!

Do you dig the Hen helmet? I'll give the PSU helmet props for being original.

ps - 19,000 posts, WOW!

[89Hen]

Gee. Ok. xrolleyesx xlolx
Seriously? You guys had great looking unis, to say these are XFLish is an understatement. xsmhx

[89Hen]

No doubt, original, but no props for something that looks like it came from an episode of Orange County Choppers.

In about 10 or so years, people are going to look back at photos of the 2007 Viks and, think, WTH was PSU thinking?!

Hey, the mullet who creates those cheesy auto window decals you see for sale at the local farmers' market called. He wants his design back. I look at that god-awful abomination and immediately think of the mandatory 'tramp stamp' you'd see on lower back of an impetuous 17-year-old mallrat. On the good side, these hats will look better when paired with PSU's next generation unis (i.e.- wife-beater t-shirts and cutoff jeans). xeekx

OUCH! The lesson here AggieFin is NEVER INSULT THE WINGED HELMET! xwhistlex

[laxVik]

They were picked out by the athletes and not forced on by JG. Much like the Oregon's disgusting unis. If they like 'em, so be it. xcoffeex

We think way too much alike.

[89Hen]

That actually makes sense. A bunch of 19 and 20 year olds probably do think they're cool. xeyebrowx

I'm just an old fuddy-duddy. xpeacex

We think way too much alike.yeah and UD's are sooo freaking original. Hello, 1978, Delaware calling? xlolx

[89Hen]

Who said they were? xconfusedx I'd rather be classic than original.

Classic...

I'm bracing for the shock and awe defense being assembled.

[89Hen]

BTW, it's not like I have something personal against PSU, like I said, they were near the top of the heap for me last year.

[slycat]

cool new unis. the helmets are intense.

[Hammerhead]

I posted a comment in the general unis thread that I don't like the new ones. Your school colors are green and white for criminy's sake!!! Are you trying to look like the Oakland Raiders?

[henfan]

yeah and UD's are sooo freaking original. Hello, 1978, Delaware calling? xlolx

Hey, doncha mean 1948?!xsmiley_wix

By 1978, UD's winged hats were so old that they had gone out and then came back in style and were then considered fashionably retro. I think they've even gone out and come back into style once or twice since then.

[laxVik]

So that was before or after you lifted the idea from Princeton? Or was it Mich? Or Grove City? :D

[ButlerGSU]

I like the helmet, the uniforms, not so much.

Yeah they are too 'new age.' Looks like an arena football teams or something.

[Tod]

I like! xnodx xnodx xnodx

[89Hen]

Just because Delaware has had their helmets longer than PSU has had a football team isn't a reason to get in a huff. :p

BTW, you said the team chose these unis.... they did... over the one's Jerry Glanville designed. xeyebrowx Man would I love to see those if not a single player voted for them.

If the kids like 'em, so be it. I just don't see UD's as being that "original" (regardless of the time used) as it's a lifted design that has been used to death from the get-go.

[89Hen]

I just don't see UD's as being that "original"
Has somebody said they were? xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx BTW, what do our unis have to do with your XFL design? xconfusedx

[dgreco]

psu helmets are the ugliest thing on earth. I dont post here much anymore, but I saw them and thought birmingham bolts, but way lamer.... they are ugly and stupid. A tribal spear? that was cool for a tattoo in 97 and never cool after that or even before.

[AggieFinn]

The City of Portland riles up something primal, a primal emblem is needed. Historically, the Vikings were primal, if ANYTHING, Go Viks, great helmet, great uni. Prepare to get torn up by UC Davis xsmiley_wix

Seriously though, I dig the uniforms, I'm all for a playership that has a say in what they wear.

Did Oregon State have their say, yikes!!!

[henfan]

I predict the Viks will hear a lot of 'tramp stamp' cat call when they take those abominations on the road in '08.xnodx

[slostang]

I really like the new helmet, but I liked the uniforms last year with some green in them.
