Uniforms

For some of us they did -- one of the sanctions was that a good message board would immediately go to ****.

Amen! This site was genuinely enjoyable until the 2013 season. From there on it has been unbearable. We used to actually have football discussions on this board; what a novelty!.

This board has been polluted with mopey, single sentence, unintelligible posters. Unfortunately, this is a free board and the mods have lives other than monitoring ****** posters. I would rather pay $5/mo. to detract some of the "insufferables", as I like to refer to them as.

We lost some of the best posters when they split the WEZ. Real talk.

I forgot that is when the site split.

I don't understand the divide. This board was meant to be an uncensored board where anything goes, however, there was a crossroads with sticking true to that initial philosophy, and becoming a legitimate insider board for Cane football.

These guys were never going to be allowed access to the football team with the type of stuff that went on here so, naturally, they needed to divide the uncensored board and the legitimate board.

I have a hard time grasping why some posters chose one board over the other, and drew a line in the sand that they won't cross. Some Wezzie's speak of this board with utter disdain, failing to realize it is run by the same people and the fact that there is an overlap of probably 80% in posters.

Just stubborness on their part. There is no reason that you can use this board to talk legitimate football, and use the Wez to go ham and talk shenanigans. I enjoy both personally, but for the reasons stated above, they cannot co-exist under one name/domain.
Because people felt slighted. They felt like they were essentially used (I'm not saying I agree with this at all), because their efforts sped up a process that would have taken much longer and then they were suddenly separated from the site, as if they were a disease.

Also, the disdain further comes from the fact that the split has virtually killed any sort of pipeline of new posters to the WEZ. I'm not sure how you can't grasp that some people wouldn't be annoyed at the very least about that, to the point where they feel its better just to post on the WEZ and not support this site. Again, I am not saying I personally agree with that, but to say you can't grasp that is a little extreme.


I think this needs to be further discussed and aired out. There is no reason that there cannot be quality football discussions on this board without bull**** and schtick. When it was one board, I was pretty new to it, but it was also clear how it worked, when **** would be sent to the WEZ and what to expect when you got there. Also funneled the free for alls. I understand the separation, however, I don't understand entirely the taking out frustrations by bombing the **** out of the recruiting board with nonsense at times.

The WEZ is one of the best sites out there, but not everyone has time for it or the extremes.

Why can't we all just get along?

I feel like the Green Unis will be called "Recharged" or "Renewed". Since the 2014 seasons motto is renewed and they're bringing the green jerseys back for the first time in 3 years.
 
Sorry to disappoint, JJ. It looks like Green is making a comeback. As for black,.........I don't think so.......but you never know :noidea:

How incredible would it be if we literally had all white and just the outline of Miami on the uniform is orange and green and then the U outlined in orange and green on helmet. Filthy!

I think you're on to something. Tomorrows gotta be a green "theme". I expect grey, white, orange and green versions.

On another note I just saw where the new Nike camo adjustable hat is $31, WTFITBS.
 
They should have given us the death penalty.

Indeed, now I just come here to get a rise out of the kids on the short bus.

Was i the only one too see Larry Scott post a picture on twitter yesterday. the black version was lil more revealed and it was an orange jersey with the numbers or something on the shoulder pad. he deleted it though. i guess we will see Saturday
 
One thing that sort of annoys me (and thus I'd like to see get updated) is our jersey sleeves. They seem to hang down our arms like this:

Instead of the tighter/sleeker look it seems most other teams have (I just picked a couple of random pictures):

Not sure if this is the jersey itself, or maybe our team just doesn't tuck them under the pads while others do, but either way I hope we tighten that up. Sort of like the pants above/below the knees...we need to get more aerodynamic man! lol

Its the jerseys and pants. The template is seven years old. We haven't updated the look or the cut in seven years. Even the teams that don't change the look have updated the material and template. Alabama and USC for example.

#UM #Canes will be videotaped being shown new uniforms for first time tomorrow.

So even our own players haven't seen them yet? Didn't expect that.

I agree, UM ain't playing around with this. Question is, will Mike (Playmaker) do commentary for the debut? If so, the hype will be palpable.
