I hope these are just the preseason unis. They look like the Desperoadoes.  


Also any idea what the helmet is going to look like? Hopefully they stick with the old unis and helmet logo and not go with that god awful "new" logo they've been throwing around on thier website.

All the new merch has the old logo on them so hopefully that is what they will use.

Force Triumph Over Talons, 53-47

Announced attendance was 4300+...

Capitalist Notes:

#4 QB Elliott was very accurate and poised...

#44 McDowell did well in goaline plays...

#8 CJ Johnson was most explosive offensive player...

#1  Shipp and #8 Michael Johnson also looked good...

On Defense #18 Crosby and #2 Purify both had swagger and ability to deliver big hits...

Negatives-

1.  Defense seemed to give up to many long runs, poor tackling...

2.  Carlos Martinez K did not look as automatic as in years passed...  Missed PAT's and a Kickoff that sailed off the field...  Hopeful just a rusty start...  I like the guy...
