Good point. Even makes more sense now.

Just curious, how can Russell make MSU gear if our agreement is with Adidas?

How do these contracts work?

No. That's Adidas's alternate tag since everyone's going to blame Adidas anyway**

I think Russell would just have to pay a licensing fee to the NCAA/Conf/School, or Wal-Mart would.

Last year I ordered an Adidas Dak jersey for a friend's one year old from hailstate.com. When we received it I got it out of the package and held it up to show my wife. I looked down and there was and aTm on the back of the jersey just below the neck. It was obvious they used the same parts to make the jerseys for us and aTm and they just put one of the parts on the wrong jersey. We returned the jersey and they sent us another but I regret not keeping the first one.
I am not really complaining about Adidas because I think they do overall a good job for us. I really just thought the whole thing was kind of funny.

Absolutely.... We have learned that it is better to be a big fish in a small pound with leverage than a small fish in a big pond with leverage.

That's just because the person that took the picture folded over the aTm sleeve so you could see the entire logo

Or...ya know...the shirt isn't absolutely centered on the hanger. It's a real photo.

Heck, we even misspell our name. Maybe Someone can post the lettering on the jumbo tron and at DNF outfield schedule.

I feel sorry for the kids who have to put up with this kind of garbage (if that's an adult size, then they deserve it).

The school licenses out the rights to produce gear with the logo on it. That's why if you go to the bookstore on campus you'll see stuff from Under Armour, Adidas, Nike, etc. The Adidas deal is just for athletic gear that the players and staff wear

Adidas is just the official supplier for the university and it's teams. any manufacturer can make any item as long as they pay the licensing fee.

If they spelled it like Lue Holtz says it they would have left out a few S's.

For those of you thinking it was photoshopped (5 star), it's been purchased.

My God, what do you plan on doing with it? I keep thinking of the dumb and dumber scene where they give the blind kid the bird with the head taped on. Please don't give that to some poor kid, haha.

No a TAMU fan wants to wear it at the MSU v Texas A&M game this year.

Didn't buy it at the Fulton, Ms, Walmart. I went in recently to buy a simple State t-shirt and couldn't even find the rack, however a fully stocked Alabama rack was available at a high traffic site right by the aisle. More sidewalk/Walmart fans in Tishomingo and Itawamba counties than true MSU or TSUN( respect them more than bandwagon fans for BAMA). MSU friend of mine said that the Mississippi legislature should pass a law stating the the value of your car must exceed the value of the Bama decals, tag, and flags on it. BTW, is aTm in a long term contract with Adidas? If so, I expect this debacle to continue.

Enlarge the picture, you will see an Indian Chief's head transposed on the sleeve. Photo Shopped. At first, I thought there was a shirt behind it; but it has to be a hack job.
