UML 2018/2019 Season: Back to Bazin Basics

Looking forward to the BC rematch in two weeks. It should be another entertaining game.

Time to move on. Big game at NU Friday night. The Hawks let one slip away from them the last time they were there. That was a game they should have won.

They are rumbling in the Northeastern thread about starting Ruck. I don't think Madigan will do it, but we shall see

4 goals scored in the last 4 games for Northeastern. Their offence is sputtering and we always look good on the "big" sheet. I remember our Power Play being highly effective down at Matthews earlier in the year.

My lone question going into this game is who does Norm go with? It's gotta be Tyler, but I think he will let practice predict that...

Road Game and Blue Unis hopefully this leads to points....

Rumblings are that the 3rd jerseys debuting tonight are a callback to the "Ranger Era" style jerseys. If it is the blue one I will gladly be plunking down money for it

I have an original one

ANd we must be playing better when fanboys come trolling on our thread. When we are playing like horsh1t they are somewhere underground. Never thought I would see the day when BC was so bad they didn't make me a bit nervous. Usually this is the time when they come on. Not sure that will happen this yr.

Do you know what a fanboy is? You might want to look in Turk's direction.

I agree. They are usually well on their way to gelling but this year, wow. I always hated that they ended up on our schedule in second half of the year well after they got the chemistry down.

Oh and another "lighter" note

The jerseys for sale were not great quality. The 50th Anniversary jerseys were produced by Under Armour these ones were not. The lettering and material used were questionable at best and IMO not worth the price.

Looked great on the players though, loved the backplates, not a fan of Lohin having Belvedere on his back, but that is just my greaseball Lowell self projecting itself.

I saw a photo... not a fan because they didn't use the authentic font but I suspect that font is owned by Nike. I remember this fun stuff back from the NHL customization days. I tracked down the font and recreated the **** thing. I probably have a high res on a *********** (name of image host) page. I didn't see the numbers on that shirt... I know they used a couple of different number fonts back then one of them being a classical font used by the penguins.

I was at Friday's snoozefest. There was nothing "cheap" in that game so please stop whining about Ryan Lohin. You come across like a real dbag.

So those ESPN announcers lied to me

Yeah lettering is not the same and they are missing the belly band too. I bought a CCM replica off of Ebay a few years back thing was still sitting in the original packaging. I think we should keep them in the regular rotation tbh to wear at home or on the road. Never been a fan of current unis

Wasn't that jersey style made by CCM before Nike? I don't think that's it.

The new jerseys are, I believe, slightly different. I'm pretty sure the gameworn I have from that era doesn't have a white outline around the numbers on the back. It's a change I really like

IIRC it was CCM up until they moved into Tsongas and then changed mfgs at some point between 98-01

if they're not forcing us to use "UMass" that opens up a LOT of options. But yeah, i haven't liked them since we went away from the 04 jerseys. None of our jerseys except for the chiefs throwbacks.

Just a guess on my part but I don't think the administration wants to go away from the UMass branding

My amusement got me my first neg rep in years. That makes me even more amused. Kind of made my night.
Life is good.
