Well, I could imagine that a special "midnight blue" run of turf would have to be manufactured at a higher cost than that of the more mass-produced green turf.

I'd bet the Gold is pretty expensive, too...........Rimshot

I actually prefer the "rocket" only logo.... Better branding

Agree. But would like this logo back on our helmets, not the stupid bush league stuff that Campbell did with the outline of the State of Ohio, etc..

I like the Rocket across the state of Ohio!!!


I think u are the only one

T-shirts can be done on a crappy graphics software. A helmet brand needs to be better than that

The end zones should be gold with blue letters. Stands out better.

Looks like they did some work to the student section seating as well. Looks much better in my opinion.
