I like all purple, tops and pants, OR, purple tops, gold pants. Don't understand why we use any white. Our letters should be gold, not white (on the purple tops). Regarding helmets, it would be nice to drop the #'s on the side and keep the Catamount logo on one side and "The Cats" script on the other. Don't need numbers so prominent on the helmets, #'s can be seen just fine on the jersey's. Of course, when wearing the white away jerseys, purple lettering. Would be nice to have gold away jersey's with purple lettering, but that may be too much of a departure for some fans. I just like incorporating our ACTUAL colors over that of vanilla/boring white. Also, maybe the NCAA only allows for white to be used for away teams (??), so maybe the gold w/ purple lettering won't be compliant. White has always been a part of our color scheme. I've always understood WCU colors are purple and gold, just sayin'. I guess in my era, the team wore purple/gold way more than the purple tops and white pants, so that's maybe why I like that combo better. Plus, it just displays our actual two colors, rather than a generic color such as white. I do think most of us agree that putting "The Cats" back on the helmet would be nice. At the end of the day, I just hope we keep winning. We'll be up there this weekend cheering the team on. I sure hope fans show up and support the team. What else could fans ask for compared to so many previous years?? WCU already has 6 wins, need that home field advantage to get to 7 wins. And if WCU gets another win after ETSU, then we may be going to the playoffs. Don't tell me our fans have already gotten this spoiled that they can't show up in strong numbers for a 6 win team?? All because we lost to two of the better teams in the conference? We can do better and show why we have the best fan base in the SOCON.

I know I'm "Old School", but Purple and Gold are our colors...have been for 100 years. I understand the "White Outs", but not the Black shirts, uniforms, etc. We don't need gimmicks to attract students or motivate our players...that's up to the coaches and player leadership. Playing well and winning on the field will eventually bring the students back to Whitmire.

I'll say this as nicely as possible... I've been to every game at home expect the Furman one.
If I drive up to cullowhee and we fumble the ball or turn it over multiple times in the first quarter. Either picked off or on returns I will not be a happy camper. Can't expect to win games if ball security isn't important.

In my opinion gold should be part of our uniforms unless we are doing a widely-publicized "white-out" game, or the occassional all-purple. Using white as a primary color also makes us look a whole lot like Furman's uniforms - although I like the look of all-white or purple tops and white pants.
But based on Bell's historical results, we should go all-white every game!!!
