knapplc Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Mike Huguenin with Rivals has an article out with some blurbs at the bottom. One caught my eye: • For the first time in its history, Wyoming has sold 10,000 season tickets. Perhaps Cowboys fans are just psyched about their team's new uniforms; Wyoming, which went 3-9 last season and had its starting quarterback unexpectedly transfer, will have nine different jersey-pants combinations this season. The school also has two helmets, with a brown version in addition to its great-looking white version. Wyoming is, of course, a Nike school, and is there any Nike school left that doesn't have at least five uniform combinations? LINK Ummmm.... Mike? It has nothing to do with their spiffy new jerseys. It has everything to do with this statement on the Wyoming Athletic Department website: Note: The only way to ensure a ticket to the Nebraska game is by purchasing a season ticket.

kchusker_chris Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Read an article somewhere a couple weeks ago about this. I remember Virginia Tech saying that a large number of their season tickets were purchased by people with Nebraska addresses a few years ago. I'm curious how many of the Wyoming season ticket holders currently have permanent addresses in Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 You guys have to get a look at these uniform combos that Wyoming has now: http://www.wyomingathletics.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/071211aaa.html Those all brown helmets are atrocious. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I don't get how they can afford more than one combination Quote Link to comment

Husker from Kansas Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 i think its pretty lame that it says WYO across the chest like that. Brown and yellow is not a good combo for school colors Quote Link to comment
307husker Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Careful Moraine, I live in Wyoming and we make sure there are at least 10 people at each home game. Straws are drawn... 2 Quote Link to comment

They look fine. I work with a couple Wyoming alums, they aren't real happy about "messing with tradition" The brown helmets look like they're made of chocolate. Fittingly so because Wyoming's football team usually MELTS on Saturdays Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 They don't really have much they can do, short of changing the school's color scheme, which is, as you say, a tradition. Their white helmets are pretty mediocre as well, but I won't ever call a plain, one-color matte helmet design 'ugly', if for no other reason than supporting simplicity. Quote Link to comment
Malth Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The helmets seriously look like chocolate. They should come out each quarter in a diff uniform combination. 1 Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I always think white helmets with white pants look legit (ruined forever by NU's uniforms) but PLEASE LET THEM BE WEARING THE ALL-YELLOWS WHEN WE VISIT THOSE THINGS ARE ATROCIOUS. Quote Link to comment
