They're getting out because we're probably paying for the lights at the warehouse.Russell is getting out of the uniform business regardless. Even talk that we might be out of the contract before then. Don't know if that's true.
I would make a cumulative pie chart to show our non-whiny alumni and fans since 1892 but I don't think they'd make up more than .2%. And it doesn't include you either.That has got to be the dumbest article I've ever seen.
Most non-whiny alumni and fans don't give a öööö about the uniforms.
Amazing one of the richest men in the world can't/won't/doesn't care to market his brand.
I was actually ready to jump on for this, but about half way through, that article does go full retard. I don't want my school to look like some jackoffs in Blacksburg.That has got to be the dumbest article I've ever seen.

I support the team negotiating a contract with the apparel company that will pay us the most money / give us the most value. Aside from that, I really couldn't care less about what the uniforms look like. That's for the players more than a bunch of whiny old white men that never played a down of football in their lives. No one that has actually played the game is here whining about the uniforms.There's almost zero support for Russell, and the lone exceptions to their parade of nonsense are throwback jerseys.
This is both explicitly racist (ha!) and false.I support the team negotiating a contract with the apparel company that will pay us the most money / give us the most value.

Are you a non-white man who has played football and is whining about the uniforms? In fact, I've not seen a single football player complain about the uniforms. In fact, I've seen them go out of their way to say they like their uniform choices.This is both explicitly racist (ha!) and false.
You are bad at making blanket statements that possess any shred of veracity.
I may in fact be half black. I have played football.Are you a non-white man who has played football and is whining about the uniforms? In fact, I've not seen a single football player complain about the uniforms. In fact, I've seen them go out of their way to say they like their uniform choices.
If you want "facts" then the fact is that a lot of the whiners here don't want innovation in uniforms, they want to be Bama or Penn St and wear the exact same thing every week for some reason.
I stand corrected.I may in fact be half black. I have played football.
Some of our uniforms are öööö!!!
Awaiting your retort.
Back when I had classes and was friends with a few players (02-04 timeframe) they hated Russell stuff. It wasn't the uniforms so much as the swag they got for being athletes that they really hated (sweats and t shirts and stuff like that).Are you a non-white man who has played football and is whining about the uniforms?

Yeah, the options we have for shirts are pretty limited, although we do have sources other than Russell.As for me, I hate Russell because they seem incapable of making decent fan wear. Their fan wear looks like crap.

Again, no one may be whining about them, but certainly no one is defending them either. If you really don't give a öööö about the uniforms, why are you posting in a thread about uniforms? I wouldn't interrupt one of your "Which one of the Golden Girls would you bang?" threads or jump into yet another of the ST Mom circle jerks.
A few years ago the "sideline polos" looked like something Pablo Escobar would have worn in 1989.Yeah, the options we have for shirts are pretty limited, although we do have sources other than Russell.
My typical gameday shirt is some weird looking off-brand logo shirt that is at least close to the correct shade of gold. When I find something better I'm buying it but I haven't seen anything.A few years ago the "sideline polos" looked like something Pablo Escobar would have worn in 1989.
Both Bama and Oregon have a brand they recruit to. For Bama part of that brand is their tradition and pedigree. For Oregon it's different. But their uniforms are part of their branding for recruiting.Yes, I've seen that before. And I'm pretty sure I asked for someone to provide proof that we lost a recruit because we don't wear Nike.
That's a bullshit excuse. Does Bama lose players because they don't wear cool uniforms? Does Oregon dominate college football every year?
