[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 138486, member: 231"] Yeah, I don't think I have ever really shared an opinion on uniforms. All I had to add is what I found about the money trail involved here and if there is something a bunch of engineers should be able to understand it is when someone let's the relative lucrativeness or savings of a deal carry a lot of weight. Right? I think MBob and all Tech AD's will listen to the traditionalist fans advice on uniforms, and they will listen to all the younger fans and the student-athletes and recruits who really prefer the look and name brand bling of Nike, et. al. Then they will take that input and put it on the scale. On the other side of the scale they will then place the most lucrative deals/contracts they can get from [I]each [/I]of the uniform manufacturers. And when the fans opinion side of the scale ends up at least equal to the money side of the scale then we will see everyone happy. Until then I guarantee you that a Tech AD is going to listen sympathetically to complaints about Russell and then forget the complaint immediately afterwards. If Nike is giving Clemson [I]less than half[/I] what we get from Russell . . . then we will be with Russell a long time whether us fans or the recruits like it or not. [/QUOTE]
