Re: ECU Uni reveal
This might be a hot take, but this is one of my least favorite reveal videos to date.
It's likely because we've gotten spoiled to some absolutely stellar stuff, but the ax and the 'ship' we're sinking being a paper boat and the 'coming out of water' thing that we've seen a few times now... all of it just doesn't add up for me? Again, just my personal opinion!
Regardless, the uniforms are absolute fire and as they always should be: all-black at home.

Tiny yellow pirate ship. I chuckled but was also a little disappointed.8993 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 7:45 amThis might be a hot take, but this is one of my least favorite reveal videos to date.

Re: ECU Uni reveal
We've definitely been spoiled with some amazing vids. I appreciate the effort but this years are just OK. This week's was probably the best this year but a bit derivative of the one with Hennigan. I do think the ax was out of place, especially since it wasn't used to sink the ship. Maybe he should have used a plunger. . That would have been a funny call back (at least for me).

Re: ECU Uni reveal
Why is he chopping water with an axe?
Wouldn’t slapping and destroying a paper boat with a wooden boat paddle make more contextual sense?
Use the axe to chop down a tree (a dead or dying one so as to not just chop down a healthy tree for no reason). That’s a better metaphor.

Re: ECU Uni reveal
Yes, I felt very confused after watching. The hat boat was yellow, too. ECU is purple. Is he chopping up our own boat? Why would he do that?APPdiesel wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 8:26 amWhy is he chopping water with an axe?

Re: ECU Uni reveal
When we play Southern Miss and Georgia Southern, we’re going to be chopping air. It’s going to be hilarious.APPdiesel wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 8:26 amWhy is he chopping water with an axe?

Re: ECU Uni reveal
It's not easy coming up with new content for this as we've done 3+ seasons worth of them. Not many teams do reveals though so we should at least be happy we get to look forward to different uni combo's each week. Some fan bases have been wearing the same home/away combos for 100 years. Every week is an opportunity to get the App State brand out there!

Re: ECU Uni reveal
ECU is purple and “gold.” I doubt a purple paper boat would have been as visible as the yellow. Still lacking though.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 8:56 amYes, I felt very confused after watching. The hat boat was yellow, too. ECU is purple. Is he chopping up our own boat?

Re: ECU Uni reveal
Should have just had his hands reach up and take the boat down and then come up out of the water like a sea monster

Re: ECU Uni reveal

Re: ECU Uni reveal
I mean I wondered what a musket would do to a paper boat. But that would probably be frowned upon.
