Uniform thoughts?


ORUIllini

Recommended Posts

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......

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!

As long as ORU is wearing white* all through the Summit League tournament, I don't care.

 

 

*as the higher seed

What, the Microsoft Publisher word art "ORU" is not up to date enough for you?

Ha! We probably paid big money for that art work. Heaven forbid that we would ever revert back to the flame.

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!.... :nerd:

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?

 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?

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!!!.... :eagles:

No, they don't.

 

At least, not all of them...

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..... :nerd:

The flame logo works very well in a vertical orientation (baseball hats) but not horizontally on the basketball uniform.

Was not referring to the flame logo.

 

Was referring to the royal-blue-&-school-bus-yellow colors, on double-knit nutters with striped waistband.

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
