    OMG I love this idea!! I live in Spain half the year, and they have the a tomato fight festival that is so much fun. We should totally do a tomato fight either before or after a game....the kids would love it

    The varieties were given names such as UC - 82. Besides being fleshier (tougher) they are a determinate set type so they ripen mostly all at once which is important for contracts with canneries. I worked at a Contadina plant in Riverbank summers while going to school. I could hardly believe I was making the grand wage of $4/hr back in the late seventies. To this day I pick out Contadina sauce and paste at grocery stores (even on east coast) for old times sake.

    That's funny. I'm still undefeated as a tomato selector at the grocery store thanks to my experience on the harvester. My wife will tell me when she wants it ripe by and I can make the right choice accordingly

    I saw these online and these would be a great update to the football uniforms. I want our school to be the best in every area of football while we work on becoming relevant and competitive during/ after our move up to the FBS.

    I agree with your Equestrian take, but these uniforms are way too Montana State for my taste

    Love our current uniform and helmet combos. Davis script helmets will never go away.

    Amen. Lots of options in current configuration, anchored by the traditional look.

    I don’t see why they can’t do a white helmet but make the CA logo cow print. Davis has Tahoe unis… idk who thought that was a great idea.

    As i have stated many, many times my objections to Bossy, Cow, Cow - i am firmly against any type of cow logo/uniform. we are SO much more than that now.

    On a little more serious note, how about converting the old turf field to natural grass? To actually give the players a safer place to play. Cost: $400,000 to $800,000+/-. Is it possible for the university to leverage its ag connections and its own skilled ag departments expertise into a much lower cost? Maybe even having the teams using the field to help with the labor like the soccer people did way back in the day. Imagine if a local turf grower could have its name on the stadium floor that said “This grass field is courtesy of "………..” grass turf company. I think we could rustle up $400,000 to do this pretty easily. Thoughts. Oh, and to satisfy the cow guys, let the cows and sheep graze the field. Save on mowing and fertilizer! Is that not a “Win win”?

    It seems they replace the turf about every 7 years. The current turf was installed in 2022. In a few years they are going to be faced with replacing the turf, then they can consider the difference in cost.

    Now, if we had a cow who could retrieve kicking tees, I’d be all for it!

    I like the cows a lot, I visited the cows often. That being said I actually think if the team should align themselves with any animal it should be the horses. I like horses a lot too. I also like the Maggie the Aggie entrance for the football team. (They should add some pyrotechnics too and have the band line up on the field). I just don’t see any reason to object to cow stuff when it’s an agricultural school.

    Second, grass is best, I’m against turf football fields. The practice field is grass so the game surface should be grass. Again, this being an agricultural school, why do we not have natural grass.

    I've always said we should embrace what we are good at. Wine. We are the best viticultural program in the world. We are not just "Aggies" we are Wine Makers. If we started pushing that, nobody in the world could compete with us, because we are the best wine making school in the world.

    I said this on another thread, but the white helmet on the SF gag unis looked great with the navy Davis and gold trim. Easy change up, stickers are cheap

    Attended a conference in Boise last week. Our banquet was held in a room overlooking Boise State football stadium. I’ve never been to this stadium before. Very impressive facility, minus the color of the field.

    I can't stand that blue field either. The only one that is worse is the red field at Eastern Washington. What an eyesore!

    Agreed. All colored turf sucks. All artificial turf is evil.

    Those seats in the upper decks at Albertsons are f'ing scary. Not as scary as going to the upper seats at The Sphere in Las Vegas, but close.

    Just something I noticed with the addition of the “CA” logo on the shoulders.

    Also it would have been cool for the team to do a uniform update post on social media. Every little bit of promo counts towards building the fanbase and the brand.

    After doing research, I would expect the Davis uniforms updates to be complete by next season.Smaller schools update one jersey per season. First was the Tahoe uniform last year (which I don’t like), then the home uniforms this year. The White uniforms templates should be updated next season. I’m happy with the home uniform updates.
