sader1970 Just the "HC" insignia is so lame. Are swords banned too?

I think it is more appropriate for either Silver Fox Bus to do that or Holy Cross. However, I will simply say that it looks exactly like you think it would: "HOLY" [logo] "CROSS"

You know the answer to that. Heck, before your time, they got rid of the lance and the the horse that the Crusader rode on, the latter probably due to the expense.

Now, ya see, I am a huge believer that the color of uniforms should be the color of the school. In our case, for the 100th time, that is royal purple. Not black. Not Gray. Not "purple & white" - just royal purple. I have no problem with offsetting accent colors, like white or even black. BTW, the team was not wearing the usual/traditional purple jersey with white pants vs. Bucknell. Instead wearing purple jerseys and pants . . . . and that's why they lost so badly. Now, would you like to hear my views on the Crusader mascot? FWIW, the Silver Fox bus formerly "wrapped" with the Crusader logo has been changed to the shield with "HC" on it according to a very reliable source who sent me a picture. Driving home last night on the Mass Pike I did see the silver fox bus but no changes were made. We still had the Crusader wielding his sword and shield! No word on if any drivers needed to pull over and go into a safe space.....

12, I never asked but assumed that they would have removed the old and replaced with the new on the same bus. However, it is possible that they put the new logo on a different bus and will remove the old (i.e. purple knight) logo from the other bus later. I will check.

So the Wildcat game preview says that the last time UNH has lost 2 consecutive home was in 2004. They lost to Colgate in their home opener, 10-3. Also, they lead the series with Holy Cross 8-7. A win by the Crusaders would even the series.

Although I can’t imagine how many poor victims were scarred for life having been triggered by that dangerous patriarchal hate crime microaggression of the ethnocentric crusader mascot.

I couldn't agree more with your points. I would like to see purple and silver look from the Lockbaum era make a return. The gray look both hoops and football have rolled out in recent years is very weak. As far as the logo is concerned, I was walking around the Hart Center on Thursday and saw a team bus out front with a very large Crusader logo on the side. It looked pretty sharp but we won't be seeing that look much longer.

Still haven't gotten word yet but these may be separate buses. Perhaps Silver Fox can keep the knight "wrap" on the bus and just had to add a shield wrap on a new bus. Stay tuned.

My 2 40-something sons are big Karate Kid fans, especially Ralph M (used to live on LI near us - wanted to see his a$$ get kicked in the movies and I hear he's not the hero in the series) and they watch this series. I'm too cheap (so far) to pay for Netflix, but then again, I do pay a lot to get stupid sports channels like NBC Sports Boston, or whatever it is the UNH game is on today. I even get CBS Sports Network and get all the PL games.

Ah-ha! I am not waiting for my "inside source" to explain the apparent disconnect . . . . . a close study of the old and new logo buses shows they are indeed separate buses. The old/knight logo is on bus 235 and the new/shield logo is on bus 239. Only question now is if they will peel off the knight wrap from bus 235. See? I got something out of my Holy Cross education!

"Silver Fox Crusaders" sounds like a good description of many on this board!

Bring that bus back, Sader! No one is buying that you're sick and cannot make the game! You can't run forever!
