Clarkson Brainstorming Fun

[BMac]

Clarkson's uniforms have apparently gotten even uglier.

Although I strongly support green-and-gold uniforms in certain occasions, hockey is definitely, definitely not one of them. We have had some fun making fun of uniforms recently; recetly, Darmouth was informed that they look just like ninja turtles, without the ninja part. In fact, I also mentioned how they have the ugliest uniforms I've ever seen, other than Clarkson. (That's an overstatement, but I don't go to Lynah to be fair to the opposition).

In any case, brainstorm! I like the article's use of 'caution tape' and 'moon boots.' I will add that they look like Michigan, other than the green, the ugly, the lack of females, and the bad at hockey thing. Discuss.

Clarkson's Green road jersey's are the same as they have been for the last several years, sorry to disappoint.

FWIW, Brazil's actual uniforms are yellow and blue, not green and gold.

(Yes, I know that wasn't your point.)

Despite that, have fun eating this team alive.  I haven't seen anything that makes me think they'll do even remotely well on the road this weekend, it's been a very disappointing season so far.  At least the 3rd jerseys look half-decent.

The Harley-Davidson ones?

As an undergrad in his senior year, and having seen plenty of great hockey played between us and our #2 rival Clarkson, I am very disappointed to see the Golden Knights having such a rough time this year.  Clarkson's student fans and their pep band have also added to the fun at Lynah in recent years, but I can only hope that they will care enough to make the trip on Friday (and I won't blame them if they don't come).

it is also the weekend before finals @ Clarkson, makes me think there will be a smaller traveling contingent.

[daredevilcu]

There are about 30 people from the band going, from what I understand.  I'd like to make the trip, but I can't.  I wouldn't expect a whole lot of fans besides the band, unfortunately.

That's too bad.  When I was a student (94-98), Clarkson was our "real" rival, in the sense that they were the other team we were consistently in the title hunt with during Harvard's dark ages.  That, and they brought a band and some fans, which made each of those games at Lynah a real raucous time.  I hope you guys resume your winning ways and help make this albatross of a conference a little stronger and more fun. :-)

Well, 95-98, anyway.  :-)

I would blame them.  You don't give up on your team just because they've had a bad month or two, or because this season doesn't look promising.  That's when the real fans stand out.  Spoken as someone who first attended a Cornell game during the miserable 92-93 campaign and was hooked.

(Finals may be a decent reason to skip a particular road trip.  But the point still holds.)

I will never understand why sports teams feel the need to constantly change their uniforms.  Especially teams that have been around a long time and have some tradition/history.  Pick a classic, clean look and stick with it.  Trying to keep up with the times usually ends up with more horrible aberations than successes.

You don't say?

I agree with not changing jerseys, but I don't think the new Clarkson one is all that bad (at least compared to recent attempts). *cough*mustard*cough*
