Now that UH finally has just one identity, hopefully ben jay can get all teams to be fitted by just one company. Maybe do a re-brand and I hope that its with nike. Im just being hopeful!! Ben Jay did say that the decision to stay with warriors and rainbow wahine is because its better for marketing. As for now, they need to get rid of that stripe on the back of the pants cause that looks horrible.

on leahey & leahey, ben jay made an emphasis that our colors were green and white. so maybe he might get rid of the black unis. i say keep um and use them for special "black out" games, etc. but yea, i dont like UA uniforms i hope we go back to nike.

and i was just thinking if hawaii was granted to start their season a week earlier and that game was to be broadcast on espn, it would be the perfect opportunity for nike to do some kind of pro combat unis for that game. they usually unveil the pro combats unis for the start of the season.

Don't expect immediate changes to the uniforms. Most of the sports including all the big ones (i.e. football, basketball, baseball, volleyball) have seperate contracts with different manufacturers. As the contracts start expiring, things might start happening. Don't be surprised if a sole source contract bid to outfit all sports is put out rather than having each sport do their own.

I think he also said on the tv news that he did not like the silver and black. He said that Hawaii's colors are green and white.
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

hahahaha....I know. that stripe looks terrible. Seriously though...I really didn't like too much of what Under Armour has done since being with them all this time. I liked the NIKE stuff we had prior. I think it would be much more profitable if they go back to NIKE after the UA deal is done.

I love what the owner of NIKE has done with the Oregon Dux teams. But to think that amount of effort and cool stuff would be put into trying to make us look just as cool would be asking a lot. But half the effort would look a heck of a lot better than what we had on the field the last few years.

Looking good helps to inspire to play good too.....no matter what anybody says.

I can do without the silver (although I liked the silver helmets). But I would like them to keep the black in there....even if they are not part of the basic color schemes.

Before JJ got here I always wished UH would incorporate black into our uni's. I thought it made Atlanta Falcons more tough looking when they changed in the 90s from mostly red. A lot of school and teams were using black and it just seemed cooler and tougher.

No other sport you need to get psyched out more than football. so keep the black.

Nix the silver (all of it), get rid of the UA stuff (very contemporary), no white pants (very high 70s High School-ish), and let's not copy anyone else's style (let the Duck be the Ducks and let Hawai'i be Hawai'i, no copy cats).

I wouldn't mind that green Nike uniform that someone posted on the site a while ago. The one with all the Tapa designs on em.

Edit. Found it, this one

Just give me a uniform with readable numbers. With IMUA on everyone's back I couldn't identify the players which caused me to feel out of touch with the team.

It's important to the fans and the families of the players. Funny...a beaten down team on the rebound doesn't need an ego-reducing, no-name uniform. One of the great things June Jones did when he took over Von Appen's mess was to promote the helmet stickers. “A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.” Napoleon.

Personally, I don't mind the black in the uniz. But please coach, get rid of those damn IMUA's on the back. Look like old Hula bowl jerseys.
