Just thought I would see what others in the Eag Nation prefer? Personally, I think red would definitely give us a camoflague type advantage but I prefer the all black jerseys on the red turf.

Sounds pretty sweet but we need to add BLACK helmets to that combo !
 
I really love the black uniforms ala Texas Tech, although we might get more of that mystique factor playing in all red on the new turf. Honestly, I don't think it will matter much, though, as I think our teams is good enough this year to kick most team's asses at home, with or without the red turf factor.

Without a doubt ! I sure hope those boys take this summer workout time SERIOUSLY and not just a time to play beer pong ! GO EAGS !!
 
Will anyone even be able to see the players if they wear all red uniforms? For that reason alone please wear black home jersey's. :lol:
 
Def need to go with the black unis. I wouldn't be surprised, though, to see us wear all red for at least one home game.

Can you imagine a hot day in ALL BLACK ???
 
TO ALL,
I don't care what uniform our team plays in, as long as they come out with a win. I saw some of the players 7 on 7 on Tuesday evening, starting at 7:30pm. The team were lifting, after they got finished,they played 7 on 7 for about an hour. I saw a young man out there as a WR, I just couldn't figure who he was. I have never seen him before. After the practice, I saw Bo Mitchell (BLM), he came over and introduced his brother to me. Cory, Bo said he is 2 years older than he is. I was very much impressed with his hands hands. He will register for classes as soon as possible. Monday rains caused the team to practice on Tuesday. Practices will be on Mondays & Weds, @ 7pm, or after weights.

Cory also played some as CB, he also looked good in that area. Aproximately 24 players were at the practice.

Also spoke with Zach Johnson, he is taking it a week at a time, the Dr. told him to work his way back. Zach stated he lifts in the mornings, and everything looks great for returning to the team. Tiwan Jones said he is almost back to where he used to be prior to his injuries. Saw him, Darriell Beaumonte, Daniel Johnson, and Chase King, runninng steps in the Basketball Court, they ran for about one hour. (All Running Backs.)

Now about the progress Renovation of Future "ROOS FIELD" The rain kept the renovation silent for two days, Mon/Tuesday. However, went out there today, couldn't believe how far they got. All the dirt from the Field have been removed, the stakes have been driven into the Field. Spoke to one of the workers today, he said the rain really screwed up their routine. He said they were getting to fill some holes, the rain had caused. I left about 4 pm, after 2 hours observing, they were still at work. They normally quit at 3 pm.

EWU’s new red turf a hit with players
By Steve Bergum (Spokesman-Review)
http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2010/aug/28/ewus-new-red-turf-hit-players/

“Boise wears blue uniforms on their blue turf,” Baldwin explained, “and it seems to work for them. We’re going to look at some different uniform options, ourselves, to see if one color gives us an advantage over another on our red surface.”

Baldwin said the offense and defense will alternate wearing red uniforms at practice in an effort to see if red-on-red makes it harder for defenders to pick out ball carriers, or harder for quarterbacks to find receivers or locate safeties on the other side of the ball.

“We’re going to change it up this week,” he said. “I told our guys I’m looking for their feedback. I want to know how it looks to their eyes and how they feel before we play our first game on it. If we can create any kind of additional home-field advantage by wearing a certain color uniform, we’re going to do it.

“Why wouldn’t we?”

The Eagles have used several different home uniform color combinations in recent years, ranging from red jerseys and black pants to all red and, in a couple of instances, all black.

Mitchell, who inherits the starting quarterback position left vacant by the graduation loss of four-year starter Matt Nichols, is looking forward to the uniform experiment.

“I think Boise wears all blue for a reason, and I think their home record speaks for itself,” he said. “So, I definitely think it’s a good idea to get the red jerseys out here and find out what they look like and whether there’s an advantage to wearing them.

“If not, let’s just go to all black and come out here and sweat.”

According to Baldwin, the Eagles could opt to wear the white jerseys they normally wear on the road.

“But I don’t see that happening,” he chuckled. “We haven’t made any final decision, yet, but there’s a good chance you’ll see us in all red. That would be my guess, if I had to guess.”

Either black or red, just never use that red jersey black pant monstrosity that we wore against the Griz in 08
