RE: Power in Pink Helmets
Maybe all this pink will put Northern in a tranquil snooze during the game. Look I'm all for making a statement and supporting a cause AND a search for a cure--my dad passed away 4 years ago from a very aggressive, nasty cancer. But this is too much pink, and I really don't like that the helmet has no Toledo, UT or Rocket logo. Just my 2 cents. Certainly not keeping me from the game. But I think unless I hear that Under Armour is putting there money behind cancer research--and maybe they are--then this looks like its more about PR and publicity for them than it is anything else.

Quote:The Rockets want to make the point that Breast Cancer Awareness should not just be aknowledged in the month of October, but is a constant battle that is always being fought.

Seriously comes off disingenuous. They already admitted, UA wanted the uniforms used on a national tv game, hence the November game. I hate a lie. I really hate a bad lie.

I understand those that say, the uniforms don't matter but colors are part of the tradition and pageantry. The "MD" is great but the rest, is a takeaway. Should have been in Oct. As done, it looks like UT is trying to put themselves above others in the "effort."

Backfire.

Last time I checked our guys played for Toledo. Not some twisted ribbon. Toledo, UT or the rocket should be on our helmets. Not a fan of any of it.

That face mask is utterly ridiculous. It looks like ladies intimate apparel.

Complaining won't do much for us fans. But man, I hate all the pink! No Rocket logo or anything UT related on the helmet besides the blue. For such a big game, you'd think they would come up with alternative uniforms that actually represent our university's colors. 1 month for breast cancer awareness is enough!

Bingo. Why else would they wait for a game that was guaranteed to be on national TV?

It could be worse. I was somewhat relieved actually. If it is a distraction, hopefully it will be for NIU.

Regardless, win the game.

As someone that has lost several family members and friends to breast cancer, more power to the UT and Under Armour.
