What is the "uniform surprise"?

[BGIF]

I know some people are against black jerseys, but I had a wild idea (I do mean wild).

Black jerseys with black pants and green tartan numbers. One side of the shoulder is a black interlocked ND, and the other side is the country of Ireland.

Sounds crazy, but I think it would look pretty slick with the gold helmets.

I'm also for green numbers in Ireland game.

At least you weren't suggesting they play in Ireland in black and tan.

In early '68 – believe it or not – I supported Nixon. By midyear I was taking a gentle and controlled drift to the left. By the end of the year it was a tire screeching Uey.

I once (jokingly) asked my father, son of Irish immigrants, if he was trying to fix "The Troubles" in Ireland by naming his five children John, Susan, Regina, Richard and Elizabeth.

Gotcha!

I told OMM that you were a FON, Friend of Nixon.



(But I swore you name was on one of those files being shred in J. Edgar when I saw the flick a weeks ago.)

Not for long. It was a brief dalliance – a rebound reaction to LBJ and his policy in Viet Nam. RMN had a "secret plan" to end the war. It included bombing the hell out of Cambodia ... secretly.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was (is?) an FBI file on me. I thought about using the Freedom of Information Act to find out, but decided it wasn't worth the effort and expense.

Per gitf: uniform surprise for the maimi game sounds to be very surprising to say the least. I heard from an alumni that it is the most non traditional jersey that he has seen here. The question was asked how an alumni would know... He works with adidas.

For the record I was merely saying that the other thread that was created was most likely going to end up looking like this one.

This should get HCTI's blood boiling.

This has to have a separate 2013 thread, I think.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Hell no! We won't go!

 

[Old Man Mike]

I will continue to insist that surprises can NOT be UNIFORM!!!


The entire structure of logical thought is in danger.

Oh, wait.... this is a football fan site.....nevermind.

The #ShamrockSeries samples looked great...still some fine tuning to be done but very pleased with its direction

 

[GreatGolson]

i bet this means that the jerseys will likely be green, but the helmet design will be something cool

 

[NDhoosier]

I love the green jerseys, would definitely want to see those jerseys once or twice every year.

But if Nike had their way ...


Nike puts its foot in it with 'Black and Tan' sneaker - The Irish Times - Sat, Mar 10, 2012

The Irish Times - Saturday, March 10, 2012
BRIAN BOYD

WITH ST Patrick’s Day around the corner, the giant footwear company Nike is releasing two beer-themed sneakers or runners to mark the date.

The first runner is known as “The Guinness” and the second is known as “The Black and Tan”.

The company is presumably unaware of the historical connotations of the use of the term “Black and Tan” in this country.

It is not clear if Nike is officially calling these two new sneakers “Guinness” and “Black and Tan” (no one from Nike was available to comment at short notice last night) but they are certainly being advertised with the Guinness and Black and Tan names at online shops and will go on sale this weekend to buyers.

At the Premier online shop ( thepremierstore.com) they say about the “Nike SB Black and Tan Quickstrike” sneaker: “Tis the season for Irish beer and why not celebrate with Nike. “The Black and Tan sneaker takes inspiration for the fine balancing act of a Stout (Guinness) on top a Pale Ale (Harp) in a pint glass.”

One fashion blog is drawing attention to the Nike SB “Guinness” by writing: “The ‘Guinness’ takes cues from the tasty Irish Stout with a black leather upper alongside Light British Tan accents on the textured Swoosh”.

Both the “Guinness” and the “Black and Tan” are expected to retail at about $90.

There was a controversy over the use of the term “Black and Tan” as a flavour of ice-cream six years ago. The US ice-cream makers Ben & Jerry later apologised after bringing out a “Black and Tan” flavour ice-cream, even though the ice-cream was available only in the US market.

“Any reference on our part to the British army unit was absolutely unintentional and no ill-will was ever intended. Ben Jerry’s was built on the philosophies of peace and love,” said a spokesman for the company at the time of the controversy.

A blogger on a food site had upbraided the company for their use of the term “Black and Tan” writing. “I can’t believe that Ben & Jerry’s would be so insensitive to call an ice-cream such a name and to launch it as a celebration of Irishnsss . . .

“I hope they don’t try to launch it here in Ireland or I’ll imagine they’ll lose a lot of their fans.”
