So this showed up in the Evergreen today, and right in line with the press release, “Crimson and Gray in a whole new way…..uh-oh. It looks like a Crimson chest with gray sleeves with a screaming Cougar on the sleeve, and they look REALLY tight! I guess if it makes it harder to hold your opponent, and if the kids like ’em and all, that’s great….I guess. And, if you look in the top-right of the chest of the player, you see an “S”, so it probably says Cougars across the top.
I don’t want to over-react, but there is an Oregon feel to them, just from a picture like that. They look like they are moving to that futuristic Ducky feel. I guess we’ll see around 4 PM tomorrow!
But, what if tomorrow, there is something MORE about all this? What if it’s more than just a new uniform? Did you know the President of Russell Athletics has been on campus all week? And if you try and view the Russell Athletics website, right now, it says to check back soon for more information? Yet recently they had a full-blown website, and had pics of the WSU football uniforms from the 2003 Rose Bowl? Hmmm……then you realize that Auburn cancelled their contract with Russell this year and went with UnderArmour, well, maybe something is going on here. I know we’ve been looking for naming rights to the field and/or stadium for some time in the form of corporate sponsorship, ala Reser Stadium in Corvallis, but haven’t found a taker…..or have we?
