I don't mind the white helmet, but we need gold incorporated in our uniform.
Wallace is the reason of the early 90s not having gold. He didn't like the Yellow gold we was using at the time. If it would have been the Gold we use now, he would have used it. He even told me that himself.

Got me tickled as you made me look at your avatar. I love that helmet. Maybe we use it for every homecoming game? Shame to let it go to waste…. Ha, you're right. I don't hate white helmets necessarily, especially on the road. I just think we need to wear purple the majority of the time. I also love that "leaping lion". Hate that we've probably gotten away from using it.

When I was a kid I had a bulletin board with a lot of different stuff pinned to it. One of those things with a picture of Bobby holding Leo II (who was a cub obviously). It had to be around the time he was hired. On the ground was a purple helmet with a yellow gold "Lions" in cursive script. I have no memory of us wearing that helmet, but man, I'd love to see that as a throwback sometime or a new design with it in athletic gold. How about these uniforms from the '85 team? I'm pretty sure that's a yellow gold helmet with a purple "leaping lion". I love it, personally.

Managed to visit Florence for the first time in a few months this weekend. My wife wanted to stop by Martin’s, so I looked through their merch. LOTS of purple and GOLD clothes to choose from. Almost all of it with the old logos, but still. I did actually buy a hat with the new logo. Funny enough, it has a distressed look which makes the lion head purple and sandy gold instead of white. I think it looks good. I’ll concede the purple and white lion head looks pretty good itself (the logo has really grown on me). It would just look a lot better with some gold added. FWIW, I didn’t see any shirts with the new logos, just hats. This has to be one of the worst rollouts of a new logo set ever. This probably isn’t news to those of you who live in the Shoals, but I thought I’d mention it in case you want to get some new purple and gold before it’s… gone? North Alabama Athletics on Facebook posted the new team team store in Amazon. Thought I would post here, I don’t see any Gold(my eyes are bad) www.amazon.com/stores/page/4ADCAA1D-25AD-4EFB-AE27-39FD3CD70D4D?channel=Store%20share%20-%20Twitter via @amazon

Nothing but bland purple, white, and gray. Just awful stuff. FWIW the campus bookstore site still has quite a bit of stuff with gold: Campus Bookstore

Quite a bit of gold on the college bookstore. Most look terrible but I like the one with the new logo that has UNA in the sand gold! They just don’t have my size.

So why, exactly, can we not use THIS logo? Just that little amount of gold really helps!

Just went to roarlions.com to check the baseball and softball schedule and they have changed the website also. Gold outline, and gold writing on the stories. Have they finally listened? roarlions.com/

Just for fun, I was in Lynchburg TN today (you know why), saw a car tag that said "House divided" and it had Memphis and UNA on it. It was the previous logo, but I thought it was cool. I ran into the owner and he said he went to Memphis to play football in 92, he almost went to UNA but had been a fan every since he took a visit and keeps up with them. He went to the UNA Memphis game and wore a Memphis hat and a UNA shirt.
He says he's hoping for UNA to FBS... we had a couple of shots and some good conversation.
