Why do we stay with Russell Athletic?

[BigDaddyBuzz]

Amongst all the NCAA news, fruit of the loom announced yesterday that Russell is immediately ceasing production of team uniforms and focusing on consumer apparel. Wonder if this means we can get adidas earlier but more than likely hoops will be stuck with leftovers from last year.

I didn't even know Fruit of the Loom was the parent company. That's even more embarrassing now.

Good news! Stansbury doesn't feel that way and we're moving forward with Adidas.

Maybe loserville should try Russell? They need someone that won't pay players. Maybe if they ask Russell nicely.....

"Under Armour is not so broken that it cannot be fixed. But the days of glory, when it would post double-digit uplifts in sales, are over. Now is the time to work out, slim down, and become more competitive," Saunders wrote.

To me UA has been nothing more than Russell with a little more money. Never been a fan of there apparel and I hate there shoes.

Team rocking Nike issued suits. That's what's up.

Does anyone know if these are available to purchase?

That is one weird contract with Russell if the team is wearing Nike warmup uniforms specifically made for them.

Maybe Russell is winding down its business and ran out of inventory of Tech basketball gear!

I asked about this and was told they always had Nike suits and Nike bags since they wear Nike shoes.

That must be why CJP can wear Nike polo shirts. Otherwise someone would go nuts at Russell with all the shots of him in Nike shirts. I would if I were them.
