ISU Apparel deal?

[CycloneErik]

You have to be wearing a polo too so it's a fair fight.

Nike, Under Armour, or does the brand even matter?

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

Your cargo shorts are showing.

Yeah, they're denim too. So they're extra cool

We'll have to wait and get a ruling from mtown.

With Jamie's explanation of how these contracts are written (we cannot grasp all of the fine details like uniform costs, etc.) I'm sure he believes he penned another great contract.

REALLY? Like CPR's. About the same vintage. I don't know much, but I understand the difference between K $'s and M $'s

Lol, I basically only wear polos at work because I can't wear t-shirts
I used to care more about fashion, but then I had kids and they took all my money, so polos fit the price point.

vs

So you're referring to material then? Dri-fit vs cotton?

I guess I don't really know because all I own are Dri-fit polos because they breathe better in the heat out here, but it seems like a ridiculously silly thing to get snooty about. But whatever floats your boat, Marshalltown.

We'll call this your reprieve for now, unless he's online. Then you're in trouble.

Marshalltown isn't called the Milan of the Midwest for nothing.

Uh no, not really.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

i'm saying the first one (which i call an athletic polo) is less dressy than the second one (which i call a regular polo). they each have their place but i wouldn't wear the first in a business casual meeting

Ah, my bad. I completely misunderstood what you were originally saying then.

Well if we ever switched to UA we can start using the I Will more. It's their slogan and we have the connection with Jack Trice. It a lot better than the We Are shirts I see at the bookstore. We aren't Penn State.

 

[TXCyclones]

Michael Phelps new UA commercial attached. The last few seconds gives me the feels. Why in the **** can't we be a Under Armor school. We're made for each other with the tag line #IWill. "I Will" - Jack Trice

I'm in Missouri and I was passing through Ames a couple years ago. I stopped at a gas station, picked out an ISU ball cap and looked at the label - made in Vietnam. I'll date myself by saying this. I'm a Vietnam veteran and I'm not going to buy something made there if I can help it. I put the cap back on the rack, paid for the gas and left.

If there are ISU caps or other gear not made in Vietnam let me know where to get it.

My Nike ISU hat was made in Vietnam. My Adidas ISU hat was made in Bangladesh. I got that at Hy Vee.

We need a complete overall in design and apparel. We have one of the worst logos in college sports and our football uniforms are constantly in the top 10 for worst uniforms. Other schools have given full rights to a company and let them create a new logo and uniforms, we should do the same.

If this was 2006, yes. Most of the people complaining about how sucky and boring our uniforms and logos are want some flashy, flavor of the month looking thing that will look dated in six months. I'm all about alternate uniforms and such, but if you do a poor redesign just for the sake of redesign, it may well do more harm to the brand then good.

Cool - I guess it isn't realistic to expect it to be made in the USA but as far as I know nobody in Bangladesh ever tried to off me so I'll go that route.

I don't think the 12 year old kid that made that hat ever tried to off you but to each their own

I used to work with Blythe and he said at one point during the McCarney era they were talking with Nike about the Combat jerseys when they were first starting to come out, if we'd done a little better I'm sure we would've gotten something figured out. I myself am a UA guy, just better quality, better fit. Nike had to catch up to what UA was doing in order to compete. I also worked retail for 13 years and most of the time I was at Sports Authority, UA clothing is never marked down unless it comes direct from UA. Nike, ADIDAS, etc.. all get marked down by the retailer. UA knows people will pay full price for their items...

Why does UA have outlets that sell carryover items for 30% off? Sports Authority was notorious for not marking things down. Look at their going out of business sale where they advertised discounts, but still had their stuff at regular retail price.

i looked at some golf clubs during the "up to 50% off" portion of the sale and they were the same price as they always were. none of the collegiate wear was marked down either.
