Didn't Nederland go from the 'Steeler' gold to the 'Old' gold when Nuemann came along?.....and I am just wondering how many Nederland-Vidor threads will be on here before next Friday?!?!

This was done close to  the end of Bobby August's tenure in 1991.  Nederland went from a black helmet with Steeler gold NB on it to the current helmet and uniforms.  Nuemann came on in 1993.

I knew it was around that time, I was C/O 93, but could not remember the exact time of the change.  Those were rough times for football, I do remember that!

My mother graduated from Vidor in 1944, the band director in 1941 purchased purple and gold uniforms for the band. In the late 40's or early 50's a new band director came in and changed the colors to black and gold. What year was Nederland established?

I believe Nederland started playing football officially in 1927. A couple of years later PN started playing and then a few more years and they became PNG and thus the start of MCM.

This has always been a point of confusion. I always hear Nederland folks saying they started playing football in 1927. PN-G's records indicate that the then-Port Neches Indians started playing football in 1925 and played Nederland four times altogether in 1925 and 1926 (Nederland won the first game in 1925 and then Port Neches won the next three). I also know from reading Dr. Ford's book that the student body picked the school colors and the team name in 1925.

Anyone with a little more information have an explanation?

Neumann's Dogs do not wear the same uni's as August had them wear.  Neumann changed it when he got here, not the colors, but the look and style.  New uni's was about all Bobby brought to Nederland.

I was class of '92, so it was my senior year.  I  don't remember the uniforms exactly so I am not sure.  I do remember the pep rally when we unveiled the new look.  Lots of excitement then!!  Too bad August couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag.

Nederland wore Pittsburgh Steelers style uniforms with an NB on black helmets. You can call it gold just like the Steelers do but it is actually yellow or also known as athletic gold. Metallic gold is what they wear now. I'm very aware of the history lol. Plus I have footage of those old uniforms on my desk.
