    I got some spectacular IBowl and Pointsettia Bowl t-shirts still hanging my closet. Haven't worn them since those bowl games . . . .

    those 2 and Humanitarian sweater. My favorite Bowl game ever was Poinsettia bowl, awesome location, weather and events. Kind of sad that HOD bowl does not have any events that I have heard of ---

    HELL, less than 5 years ago we couldn't get Academy to give Tech the time of day for normal GameDay gear, much less an impromptu bowl event. (Hats off to Academy using the White-T helmet sticker.)

    I got plenty of blue shirts to wear if that's the color what I wanna wear. But really the color doesn't matter cuz I'll probably be wearing my white NIKE Tech cover of warmth.
    and we whine because they have reduced their Tech gear to 1-2 racks, LSU crap flies off shelf no matter how ugly -- if it says La Tech on it, I am in... Academy is 5 minutes away, think I will go right now and buy something, get a Wendys spciy chicken and frosty for lunch...

    Five years ago is when Academy significantly reduced all the Tech racks and shelves to make room for all the bandwagon Saints stuff.

    Maybe in your market, but at the Academy closest to Ruston, the inventory of both Tech and nlulm was enhanced (disregard licensing the veterans, the Saints and elessewe)

    At the end of the quarter the Tech inventory was nearly sold out and the nlulm gear was still available in all sizes and varieties.

    The same is going on for the current fourth quarter.

    Not bitching. It's pointing out the obvious.

    Horrible looking white shirts only fit for PJs. Have you seen what Illinois is giving?

    Then Academy designs a RED shirt that looks like a LaLaff knock off and uses out dated graphics to do it.

    Complaining or pointing out the obvious is better than being lethargic.

    Re: HOD Bowl Shirts are out at Academy

    You can call it griping and complaining (or more profanely stated as *****ing) if you want to, but it's very simple.

    Look y'all, either we're SERIOUS about our BRAND, or we aren't.

    I think we are vocalizing on the only platform we really have, what our Athletics Department and University leadership should be addressing...and to be fair, maybe they are, I don't know...but somewhere in the decision chain, at least from OUR perspective, we appear to be continually missing the mark.

    Look y'all, either we're SERIOUS about our BRAND, or we aren't.

    We were told the WHITE T helmet Logo that we've used and identified-with for over 40 years was changed to one that didn't "pop" as much, but we collectively got over it, because we were told "we're going for brand consistency" --- then about the time we suck it up and move on, we slap a bulldog head on our helmets for red out.

    We are told by the University several years ago that BLUE...REFLEX BLUE...has been adopted as our PRIMARY color. Now we're all over the place.

    I think we are vocalizing on the only platform we really have, what our Athletics Department and University leadership should be addressing...and to be fair, maybe they are, I don't know...but somewhere in the decision chain, we are missing the mark.
    Exactly!! How difficult is is to delete old graphics or store them on a separate drive so they aren't used anymore? How hard is it to produce a shirt in blue and blue only? When a design crosses a decision makers desk, the response should be,"as long as the shirt is blue."

    We can have red shirts, for red outs, and white shirts, for white outs. You can even have red and white for non game day gear. Any game day gear should be blue.

    If they can't do something that simple, then just release a statement that we have no official color or logo. Then we won't complain about which one you use. However, we will complain that they can't make a decision and stand by it, which really has been the complaint all along.

    This problem didn't start with him but hopefully we'll see it end with him. But I doubt it. Things are getting worse (not terribly quickly, but nonetheless).

    WTH? Am I missing the sarcasm here or do you really have a problem with McClelland?
