Anyone know if this is true?

Dear lord I hope so

 

[33jacket]

I heard that about Cal i think. Not gt yet. But damn i hope so

Us ol guys like Russell.
I use my old Russell gt shirts for decades as work shirts. Great big thick seams and plenty of room for midsection. Could be longer fit as wife gets upset when the back pulls out from my jeans and she can see my tighty whities.
Wife says gt needs a lot more swag and that I should shop at Duluth trading.
Guess I ll go with that AND BRING IT ON.

I was talking to the book store manager and she said that the bookstore is letting nike and under armor fight to see who gets it. She stated that they are currently selling ua and nike stuff because the russell contract only states team and coaches gear. So that is probably the only russell stuff they will carry. She hopes that it will be UA because they will supply stock at anytime and nike only likes to do it once before the season starts. Take it all with a grain of salt but the bookstore is full of nike and ua stuff.

I got news of that in an email a few minutes ago. I don't know where he heard it from....possibly the same tweet. But I sure hope it's true.

I saw a tweet that Cal was getting $86 million from UA and thought: The heck...GT is going to get PAID soon if Cal is getting this much.

Gotta think UA will happen soon.

Based on other posts, it seems our friends misunderstood MBob talking about Cal deal.

$87 million from UA?

More likely we 86'd a deal w/ UA, extended Russell a year and upped the buyout to think about what we want to do, then ultimately try to sign Nike or Adidas but are forced to settle with our first choice Champion hoping they've learned from past mistakes.

(I kid, kind of)

By the way, for the football only fans, there's a 7-page thread going in the Basketball Forum re: Russell Athletic
Why do we stay with Russell Athletic?

Sheee**. I liked Champion. Thickest, best-fitting, best quality, best made gear of all of them, back in the day.

You mean the 2016 Acc Champs one right?

no I mean Champion the brand.

They haven't started printing those shirts yet.

If we ever ditch Russell, you just know this is who we'll end up with...

 

[Buzz776g]

Lol!

I don't think they've outfitted teams for decades now. They've been bought and sold several times now iirc.

I'd prefer UA only because of this:

If they'd give us glow-in-the-dark I'd be fine with it, but they won't. UA imo is a much better fit for us as far as what we'd get from them at our level, as well as how the kids see it.

I'm kinda scared of UA because of Marylands uniforms.

 

[Buzz776g]

I'm kinda scared of UA because of Marylands uniforms.

I'm assuming it'd be up to the AA to say "no ... just no" if they showed us something Maryland-ish.

Right?

 

[bke1984]

Anyone know if this is true?

I've heard this rumor for a while now from a pretty reliable source. Sounded like we were just waiting for the Russell contract to run out.

 

[SteamWhistle]

I feel like if we do end up with UA, our uniforms will look a lot like this but Change the Orange to Gold.
