I think that's what they wore for USD, so it's in the arsenal.

Oh, did I double-count the gold helmets? The helmets looked flatter during the USD game but that might have been the product of the stream quality

I don't know how to describe it, it just felt very comparable to my memory of SDSU games except with a smaller grandstand and tailgate area.

Although I can pin down that the video board and greater variety of food options really added to the apparent production value

Best gameday experience I've had at Davis. Being gone since 2016 meant I didn't get to see incremental improvements, but the program feels more energized by leaps and bounds than when I was a student.

That's what it looked like at the USD game, at least from TV.

The shiny helmets have script too, but just the outline. Last year I remember the shiny helmets had solid blue script so that's what leads me to believe the text is a sticker

My understanding is that pretty much all the logos on helmets are stickers. I can't recall the last time we saw the gunrock helments so I think they're either retired or restickered. So to my knowledge the equipment on hand is:

White Helmet (SJSU game)
Blue Helmet (currently the practice helmets based on practice photos I've seen)
Standard Gold Helmet (USD game)
Shiny Gold Helmet (Stanford game)

Blue Shirt
White Shirt
Grey Shirt

Blue Pants
White Pants
Gold Pants
Grey Pants

We have a nice blend of retro and modern unifiorms right now; I'm not sure what we could even add to go for a fourth option.

Also, we're fortunate that the colors tend to go well together. There a lot of combinations of existing equipment the team hasn't explored yet, like gold-blue-gray, white-blue-white, blue-gray-blue, etc.

I hope they keep the gold-blue-gold for Homecoming and Causeway -- and maybe keep at least hte gold helmets and blue shirts for one or two more games -- but it's cool to see them try new things otherwise

they also had a deal for East side tickets a few weeks ago of 3/$30, the other two games being ISU and NAU. They really want to sell this one and homecoming out seems like

I see, I forgot what the deal was with Moore. So it looks like Montgomery is out for the season?

Weren't effectively our #2, #3, and #4 receivers out vs Stanford because Harrell, Montgomery, and Moore weren't playing?

Hopefully we pull out all the stops: uptempo, long bombs, trick plays, the new uniforms, zany Band-uh show, anything to make gameday a wild experience for the freshman

I think as a program we now get the right to be a little more cynical about the FBS moniker. We were just a few more conversions away from being "in the game" in the second half against the best team on the west coast, and our O already cut through a mountain West defense like a hot knife through butter. So compared to our track record, Fresno's beatdown of the vandals is a pretty bad look.

Agree that it's unlikely, and I think the simulation doesn't necessarily dispute that. Having a 70%-90% chance to win each game still makes a couple of random losses highly probable.

thought it was TT, but might be wrong.

Checked the stats on Stanford's previous two games -- USCs offense was a little more productive yards wise than ours but in the ballpark, and we performed a little better than SDSU. The Aggie TD was the first time Stanford allowed one since the first quarter against SDSU.

I don't know how good or bad U$C is this season yet, but SDSU has a pretty one dimensional offense and has been prone to getting stopped cold once in a while, even last year with Penny.

Neither of Stanford's opponents have yet to prove their offenses are better than a top FCS offense, which probably we are

If it's posted today then I bet that's what they're wearing. Would have preferred the classic look against Standford but the Cardinal uniform does have a lot of white, so I kinda understand going for a sharper contrast.

Also I love how -- minus the coaches show shenanigans -- the program seems to have way more resources these days. We have way more money and prestige on the institutional level than most of the FCS so it's good to act the part for recruiting

The two font wordmark is clean and professional looking and I'm totally fine with it appearing related to UC Davis Health Systems and such. It just doesn't really fit for things like apparel and Athletics branding.

Also, these days its of extreme importance that text and branding look legible on a very small screen. So far the only branding the University has that meets that criteria is the new Athletics font, the CA, the mustang head silhouette alt logo, and ironically the two font wordmark.

I actually kinda like the mustang horseshoe logo idea but it's just too busy for the times and could really use a simplification, which would help for its recognizability on Athletics uniforms as well. Mozilla Firefox actually is a good reference for that; they realized their logo was too complex so they flattened out the colors and made the features more pronounced so it looks familar but better on mobile

Cal Davis, UC Davis, Cal Aggies, I can't find myself having a strong preference. If we become a top 25 fcs program and hoops go dancing every other year then people can call is whatever they want.

Though really, what's wrong with just Davis? The script on the helmets looks fantastic

If we take Stanford's land we'll control a good chunk of the West coast and have a substantial tax base: https://www.sbnation.com/2018/9/10/17838508/college-football-imperialism-map-week-2

SDSU QB is out as well, possibly for multiple weeks. Sounds like it was a very rough game.

Still can't get a good idea of where we stand in the Big Sky. Looks like EWU, NAU, and Montana at the top?
