I know it has already been shown in an old posting but, I think they both (helemt/ new logo) deserve their own thread. Both look great!

I think ASU88 said it best on the other thread. "That helmet is badass." That is exactly what came to mind when I first saw it. "Mean" was the other thought I had.

We know that. It's just we want it BADDDDDDDDDDDDD!!! And finally, it seems as if the administration has FINALLY gotten on bad, so who knows, in some ways, your success may have woken up the PTB in Cullowhee.

I know 79-35 sure did and if it leads to a national title someday for my boys, I'll personally send out Christmas cards to App nation. xthumbsupx

Doesn't look a thing like the WCU I know. I won't even recognize you guys on the field anymore.... but hey maybe thats a good thing.

Overall a solid improvement, the darker colors are nicer, especially the darker purple.

Much improved over "The Cats" helmet. That thing was a travesty. I really like this new helmet. At first, I thought it would be the new Cat plus the WCU lettering, which I thought would be too cluddered, but it looks really sharp to me. Also, I like the triple stripes. Again, reading from another thread I thought it would be those tri-color triple striped helmets a la South Carolina or Auburn, but those look really good. Whoever designed the helmets did an outstanding job, IMO.

Also, have you all seen the new jerseys yet? IIRC, one was a gold with purple trim and vice versa for the other, right? If so, do you all know of any other team that uses that combo? (I know that JMU has the purple uni with gold helmet, but this would be different.) I really like the more modern uni's and being a little unique, so I'd think it'd look pretty good all the way around.

Anyways, exciting time for you guys. Should be some more in the next few months. xthumbsupx

Only thing I know about the unis is that Wagner implemented no names on the back of the jerseys.

You are right but, I believe you have to look good to play good so this is a good beginning. Wagner is changing an entire enivornment in Cullowhee and actually building a PROGRAM.

I added pics from the front and back of the helmet to the original posting since a few people asked what the stripes look like.GO CATAMOUNTS!

Agree. The new look, while superficial, can spark some enthusiasm. Just like your self-esteem growing when dating a hot chick.

The Helmet looks great. Looking forward to see in Charleston this year.

Newbie? Me? Have you confused AGS join date with App Fandom? I became an App fan in the early 70's when my oldest brother enrolled there. I didn't join Yosef until my son went in 2005. If I take my Yosef date and your join date, we're at least equal. I'm hardly a newbie except to Yosef where I'm only in my fourth year.:D

No confusion on my part, perhaps on your side. My reference was calling HickoryCat a newbie. I don't know where you came into the picture. I quoted his statement, nothing of yours.

Glad you're donating to Yosef. Talked to Gerald yesterday about enrollment in YC, it's way up.

That's a huge upgrade for you guys. The old helmets were horrible IMO. Hopefully the helmets aren't the only thing improving in Cullowhee. Personally, I'd like to see the rivalry with WCU pick up again. It's gotten to the point where the programs are just on a different level. Obviously that isn't fun for Western, but it kinda gets old for us too. Good luck this year.

So sorry, ASUMountaineer ... my bad ... thought the quoting wars went back to my post. Mea culpa. xbowx

I had read somewhere that there were something like 2000 new Yosef members this year. That's awesome; I hope they stay. See you at The Rock!

That's right, I seem to recall scoring 70 points on some team last year....I guess it is like spraying deodorant to cover up the smell of dog poop. When you can't win games, just wrap up the package with a pretty bow and the fans will never know the difference...

on a serious note....logo looks nice, much improved. Just find something to put in the new uniforms....we need a rivalry again. best of luck!

I know...I know...It is like making a fat joke at a Jenny Craig meeting. It is just not right.

Sorry.... I had noticed all the dust on the 'old mountain jug' in our trophy case and didn't know if you guys still played anymore or if the rivalry still existed....

Wait I just found some info....

"The Appalachian and Western rivalry dates back to 1932 with the Mountaineers holding a 53–18–1 advantage over the Catamounts."

Ouch not much of a rivalry.

If it makes you feel better I like the new uniforms.

Any idea what type of offense Wagoner wants to run at Western?
Just curious.

Do you scour the “old threads” for these "original" jokes of yours??????

If you are going to continue to make Western jokes, try and at least come up with your own ideas!!!!!!
