ORUIllini Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 As we move through the summer and get closer to the start of college football we are stating to see schools unveil their new uniform and helmet combos. As I was looking at the new Sooner uni and helmet combos it made me think about ORU basketball uni's...... http://www.soonersports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=31000&ATCLID=209536008 With the Southland "experience" behind us now and a return to the Summit, maybe now would be a good time for Nike to come up with something new and fresh for ORU basketball. I don't think anything really has changed much with the block ORU letters since the switch from the flame logo. I realize the words Oral Roberts University are somewhat hard to work with on a jersey as evidenced by the vegas gold uni's a few years back where Oral Roberts were all crammed at the top..... Just wondering what others maybe thought..... Happy 4th of July and God Bless America! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 As long as ORU is wearing white* all through the Summit League tournament, I don't care. *as the higher seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUIsbig Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 What, the Microsoft Publisher word art "ORU" is not up to date enough for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Ha! We probably paid big money for that art work. Heaven forbid that we would ever revert back to the flame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 TheEagleman would be happy if the men switched to the blue unis with the gold numerals like the women wear....but yeah, it is time for some time of change......and yeah, we should have some 70's throwbacks with the flame....old alums like TheEagleman would just love it!....

ORUalum Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 taking off on Eagleman's throwback theme, how about playing the old fight song now and then? on the FCS broadcasts, i only hear the new one being played. do they at least play it for homecoming?

theeagleman5 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 TheEagleman is still hoping for some new/different uniforms this season.....and I guess classes will be starting soon at 7777 South Lewis....I hope all of our new guys are on campus....do we have any spies out there to keep us posted?....also looking forward to the official schedule release within the next 10-14 days.....isn't it about that time?....

I believe classes begin Thursday, Eagleman.....and I too would LOVE to see something new this year for ORU's uni's! I've started to see lots of schools releasing their full schedule....with all the great information everyone has provided here over the last few weeks, I'm guessing the only thing remaining is that last top 20 team to yet be named? as for uni's....would anyone like to see a blast from the past like this classic? https://twitter.com/ORUMBB/status/497498721005760512 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 as for uni's....would anyone like to see a blast from the past like this classic? YES!!! but sans the striped waistband and nutters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 That is really a classic uniform worn by all time ORU great Mark Acres in the 1980's....TheEagleman would love to see something similar now with our darker navy blue and vegas gold colors.....gotta love the flame.....the old timers say bring it back!!!....

No, they don't. At least, not all of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 So OT....most Alums from the 60's, 70's and 80's DON'T like the Flame?....hard to believe.....that was our mark back in the old days and it's ORU tradition.....I can understand that the University wants to have newer/modern unis but certainly nothing wrong with having an alternate/throwback uniform that we could wear once or twice a year....maybe at homecoming?....TheEagleman would find it hard to believe that at least 85-90% of older alums wouldn't want to bring back the Flame at least on special occasions.....

ORob1 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yes, Bring back the flame! Does anyone know what our TV deal is this year? Still going ot be on Fox Sports Midwest?

SOLO_Gold Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The flame logo works very well in a vertical orientation (baseball hats) but not horizontally on the basketball uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUJason Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I totally agree with Solo Gold on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 No, they don't. At least, not all of them... Was not referring to the flame logo. Was referring to the royal-blue-&-school-bus-yellow colors, on double-knit nutters with striped waistband. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 this is a very clean look...and i agree with OT that the vegas gold and navy blue are an improvement. as the kids would say: #bringbacktheflame Today's #TBT goes to Greg Sutton, the leading scorer in #ORUMBB history with 3,070 career points pic.twitter.com/JtYDK01ZGe— ORU Basketball (@ORUMBB) August 21, 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
