Anybody have any ideas what this "big news" might be?

The 8:17 time is a nice touch...some local planning evidently involved.

 

[NovaScotiaFrog]

New uniforms? Been about 5 years.

They posted it at 8:17 as well.

Funky Town jerseys??

New unis or helmets that say 817 on them and I will be throughly underwhelmed I’m guessing. But hoping to be whelmed somewhat at least.

817 Helmets? I'd guess.
I'd be more excited if each student athletes base based money was going to be $81,700. That might help recruiting.

Ta-da. Got rid of the horns around neck hole. Clean look. An improvement, imo. Also some lizard skin on what looks like a matte black helmet.

You were right

 

[BrewingFrog]

Very clean! I approve!

I was coming to say the same thing. It's a cleaner look and that's about it. Nothing to really get excited about.

The number 817 is the tattoo for the local hispanic gang Barrio Azteca.

It’s a welcome surprise….

The people who designed and approved the camo jerseys around 2015 were hopefully fired…similar to the bud light marketing woman who led the worst sales campaign ever…

Also the numbers on the purple jerseys are gray and not silvery, and easier to read (hopefully) from a distance. We don't sit super high up (midway second level east side on the 50) but it was a struggle to read the numbers on a bright day or under the lights.

 

[DeuceBoogieNights]

They look good but it's pretty unimaginative. Just kind of plain like a high school uniform.

 

[bmoney214]

All chrome with purple letters!!!
