This sort of stupid shit only happens to Tech because we have a small-time mentality and refuse to fix it.
Since I'm at Arkansas, I unfairly compare us to them a lot. Of course, there are financial barriers, but I'm just struck at how...professional everything seems here. The branding is fantastic. The game-day staff is usually polite and knowledgeable. The bathrooms are reasonably clean. The shotclocks are sponsored and current stats are always displayed on the basketball videoboard.
Of course there are things we'll never be able to do with our budget and things an SEC school doesnt have to face, like following the law.
SO WHY DO WE DO STUPID EASILY PREVENTABLE SHIT. Should put this in the Tech Peeves thread. "Someone" changed our helmet, released that stupid video, etc. Our branding is all over the place, no one knows what to call us or what colors to use or wear. Easy stuff to either do or not do. Why??? This isn't a DIII school but sometimes I feel like those in charge don't know the difference.
No one messed up the helmet. Some of you confuse your opinion with fact. Not everyone is stuck in the past.
It's not in the past unless there is a change in the present.
It was a change for shock value only, nothing indicated that a majority of fans wanted a different look on the red helmet. Actually I'd say more fans wanted to get rid of the "Dooley Stripe" than to change the T.
No ones "STUCK" in the past, if we were you would be reading this courtesy of the US Mail and smith-corona, we simply like the traditional white T on our red helmets. Stuck on somethin? Confusing opinion with fact? Probably should take a look at some of your own post.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Nah, I just give my opinion. And I like to remind you and others that your opinion isn’t fact, or even the popular opinion.
The video was garbage.
The helmet is 100% your opinion on what the helmet should look like.
The stripes are fine and the logo is fine.
OH no the dreaded white helmet home curse!
Awe man!!! I was hoping for a radical season ending uniform combo... red helmet, blue jersey, red pants!!
Maybe we could add a blue helmet to the equipment shelf for next year which could give a blue/red/blue option!
Said video ranked right up there with Willy Wonka and the 300.
