William Blount offseason thread

[AlcoasPaintedBridge]

Can we get back to the uniforms now?

[Governm]

Thanks , hope they do well and show some progress because I do like the coach you all have.

they should be better. Alot of young talent to work with and they have a year in Ridge's system under their belt. I've also been given to understand that they have been working really hard this offseason. As disappointing as last year was they were soo close to being 5-5 or 6-4 or even 7-3. They lost a few really close games that they really should have won. They should have beat mo east, bearden, lenoir city, and jeff county. And they had farragut on the ropes but couldnt put them away. Hopefully more of those close games will go in our favor next year. We will just have to wait and see.

...and navy was never a school color.

Jake I think we are. When I played for Maryville back in the seventies we looked like Alabama with red helmets with white numbers. Getting back to William Blount, I loved those uniforms that looked like Florida. What I don't like about the new ones is that the colors really aren't the school colors and the helmets look like a primer undercoat and the finish didn't get put on.

 

Barney, I don't think Maryville has ugly uniforms, I was just making a point that "ugly" is a matter of prespective.  I thought WB uniforms were ok last year, but I have to agree that I am not a fan of the flat paint that was on the helmet last year.  As far as Maryville looking like Alabama in the 70's, if they go back to that look, you may have to add room for one more fan...lol.

Well, it should have been....because it sure beats the heck out of the powder Blue look.

Thanks for saying that, Barney.....unless he has me fooled, Coach Ridge is a pretty genuine guy, and I believe that he is going to make a difference.

it is too.. The football team has worn navy uniforms for over a decade and the baseball team wears navy now.

Sorry 91, APB is correct.  Navy blue has never been the "official blue" of William Blount.  When the switch was made away from the original "powderish teal looking blue", it was made to "royal blue" if I'm not mistaken.  You are correct that these teams have worn "navy" but it is not the official color.

I know. But basically navy blue is more or less the official color of William Blount football. They wear navy and all the t-shirts and merchandise are navy. And personally When I think of William Blount I think navy, not royal. And I bet if you asked any team that has played william blount in football they would associate navy blue with william blount. Besides navy just looks better. I think you will see navy become the official school color sooner or later. Edited April 28, 2014 by Governors91

This is the last I will say about it, but here goes...

Go to the school website, (www.wbgovs.com) look at the walls in the gym, cheerleader uniforms, google search images of WBHS ...look at the coat of arms, then tell me what the official school colors are.

Don't be such a sheep, 91.

I have been around WBHS and that program for a lot longer than you may have thought.

I know for a fact it was a lot longer than you have.

I really hope they turn it around down there.

i know that navy isnt the official school color, but I like navy blue so It doesn't bother me. And my point all along was the football team has been wearing navy jerseys for over a decade so it has become a tradition. If you really wanna harp about a school's colors why dont you get on heritage for taking baby blue completely out of their uniforms and trying to look like Nebraska.
