    It would be worth questioning the AD again if we replaced our great script jerseys with those.
    That would be a complete disaster, but I don't think that's the case. I believe the team picture was done with the script unis.

    I also noticed that the band is still insistent on ruining the stick salute by playing shadows to the last in attendance walking out the door and a team in the locker room. Good job, whoever was responsible for that change.

      Edit: oh, we do have 3. The normal Spartan head ones, the delicious script throwbacks and new alts that were announced a few weeks back. Tonight's jerseys looked like practice ones unless we changed out Spartan head uniform design. I'd be fine with that since I never liked those.
      I figured the Spartan head were gone when the football lookalikes were announced. But I think the ones from last night have the same side template as those, so looks like we do have three sets now, all green pants. And I'm sure the scripts will still not be available for sale.

        I remember talking to someone with knowledge about that. Apparently, that was a program decision to rearrange when exactly the alma mater would be played during the post-game.

        Sucks, because they killed what I thought was one of the best traditions in college hockey.

              You can't even become admitted to a B1G TEN university so winning the tournament is out of the question for you...

                Your school no one cares about won a whopping 8 games last year. Not to mention the hot start you're off to, losing to Toronto.

                Time to shut up.

                      Away threads for the year, so we have six jerseys. I'm hoping our win total can at least equal that.

                        As long as the script sweaters are still in there somewhere, we could have 20 jerseys.

                        That said, the ones with the numbers on the front still look pretty ridiculous.

                              "Basketball" is what immediately struck me about that design as well.

                              I think they're all better than the previous Spartan head design we've had for a while. The new Spartan head uni is a huge improvement, although the home versions do look a little "practice-y" as was discussed earlier. I think that getting rid of that black or gold trim is a huge improvement.

                              As always, the scripts are the greatest uniforms ever designed for any sport.

Appleton at the right point looked somewhat uncomfortable but that was the only place it seemed he wasn't in top form.
                                I have never been a fan of forwards playing point on the PP. They usually cannot skate backwards deftly enough to adequately defend 1on1 or an odd man rush in the event of a turnover. But if Appleton can get more comfy, I can see why his passing and vision is appealing for the role. We need to produce on the PP.

                                Also on the topic of Appleton; last season I was quietly critical of his skating ability and burst but he looked to have gained another gear. That will be huge for him.
