on uniforms for the game yet? Anything honoring Coach?
Too short of a notice to get a uniform done for the bowl game
I suspect the only thing (potentially) is a different decal on the helmet (ie: pirate flag). A decal is something they would have had enough time to get. Everything else will be our normal uniform is my hunch.Quote:

Took me 12 seconds to think of that and type it.
What the hell else does Adidas have going on? They could have done this within 4 days.Quote:

Was mid-season before she and the team received their final uniform. All of their new uniforms were late.Quote:

We already have the black uniform, and to do a pirate flag decal on the helmet could be done in a week. I?ll be disappointed in our administration if we come out in regular uniforms and the same sticker that every other SEC team has been wearing.
Bingo!!Quote:

Our leaders are ALWAYS the last ones to implement something new (remember how long it took us to finally sell beer in the stadium). Another example, we still haven't replaced Cohen as AD and he's been gone months (and unfortunately, CML's untimely passing arguably placed us with very few options).Quote:

And none of that has anything to do with being able to get new uniforms designed, ordered, made and delivered from the Far East in time for 90 players.Quote:

Yeah the supply chain issue is real. We finally received 10 helmets and 8 pair of shoulder pads we ordered in June a couple of weeks ago.Quote:

If you wanna act like we're reinventing the wheel, so be it, but I'm just saying that mindset of thinking is typical of many MSU actions that our current leadership has shown they excel in.
Those options have already been discussed and let's see what has been done first. But several kept mentioning and took your post to mean we should have been on top of getting new uniforms in in time for the bowl game. The school has no control over that and it can't be done that quickly. That's what I took your original post to mean then I misinterpreted what you where talking about and apologize. But I don't see how that is a negative toward our school because we can't get it done in time. Decals, a patch added to something we already have, I agree it's doable for sure.Quote:
