    Alternative uniforms are here to stay in college football. The kids love them. It's a recruiting tool. When Notre Dame is willing to change up their helmet look you know how important it is.

    Let's just have fun with it. Some are great. Some are ugly. What you do hear is comments like, "You remember that game they came out with the black unis? That was sick!"

    The big question is what are they going to wear next Thursday night for a national TV audience. That would be the night to do something really cool!

    I would think they go with this:



    Maybe switch out the helmet to the white rabbit?

      Realize your comment was made in jest, but they seriously could combine SDJ's "state border" idea (the border being pink) with the running rabbit and use it to encourage breast cancer awareness. Might even be able to get Sanford to invest in that, as it's one of their foci.

        I was a fan of the gray jersey worn for military appreciation day a couple years back

          That was one that I thought looked worse when they initially tweeted an image of it prior to the game, but I agree that they looked decent during the game

            Blaze/hunter orange with dark brown highlights
            Blaze orange helmet with dark brown facemask, south dakota sticker instead of a logo
            Throw in camo if you like

            Introduce them the next time we have a home game on Pheasant opener. Get GFP/Tourism and Under Armor on board. Start the game at 9 or 10 so hunters are more likely to make it to the game. Auction them off to make a boatload of money. Instead of fighting pheasant opener, embrace and capitalize on it. Make Jacks football a part of the annual tradition - hunt then go to the game.

              I always thought something like this should be tried.
              An alternative to a late Saturday game might be Thursday or Friday night. No matter what night, run boozy charters to and from points West where pheasant hunters congregate. The jerseys could be made to look like a blaze orange hunting vest. Orange helmets too. Gun raffles at half time.

                I know it would be out of bounds with logo branding, but incorporating a pheasant with the wrap around Rabbit logo would be fun.

                  I have always thought it would be cool to do something with just ears on the helmet, it could sort of be something like the Philadelphia Eagles wings, starting in the front and 2 big rabbit ears flowing down each side of the helmet.

                    I've always thought ears on the helmet would look great! I'm happy to hear others like the idea. I also hope they'll eventually do a special helmet for Hobo Day with Weary Wil slapped on the helmets (embrace the hobo!)

                          I really hoping everyone is joking because all I can think is its going to look ugly and its the Cleveland brown color scheme. I only like orange and black and since those are not school colors I think its a bit gimmicky. I am totally cool with some sort of promotion or something to encourage hunters to enjoy the game and come for it but uniforms I don't think is going to really draw them in. If someone wants to hunt instead of go to a football game then they are going to change their minds what the uniforms are. But some sort of promotional marketing plan may entice them a little more.

                            Kind of looks like the Jack has a pheasant in its maw.

                              Not joking.

                              It is gimmicky, but so is adding chrome, camo, etc to uniforms. That has become pretty normal. We already do black (not a school color), why not something that actually matters to many of the people in this state?

                              If it was done well, I think it could look unbelievably cool. There is no doubt it would get people talking, and the consensus is that recruits like this sort of thing.
