Does your team wear Nike jerseys?

[FCSbacker]

One thing that really irks me from when I palyed in the early 2000s was the fact that we had such trashy uniforms. I-AA uniforms at the the time were complete trash compared to our 1-A brethren. You could look at a 1-AA player in the 2000s and just see how much worse his uniform looked than a 1-A player that was wearing a sharp Nike outfit. Nowadays, even high school guys have sharp Nike Uniforms. I am just wondering if your FCS school wears Nike. If I am not mistaken, the first 1-AA school to wear Nike was Georgia Southern University when they had them my sophomore year in 1999.

[BearsCountry]

Yep, Missouri State does.

[Reign of Terrier]

I think Wofford wears either Russel or Riddel

[Mntneer]

Yes, ASU does.

[UNIFanSince1983]

UNI now has Nike. I know SIU has Under Armor and I believe so does Delaware (I am not completely sure about this though).

[wildcats86]

UNH wears Nike

[93henfan]

Delaware did the Nike thing for awhile and has since moved to Under Armour.

Joe was getting a head start last year with his towel:

Wofford has a contract with Adidas

[FCSbacker]

I first noticed Delaware's uni's when they played Maryland on ESPN early this season. My junior year at The Citadel ( 2000) we went up and played Delaware and got worked. Anyhow, it seems like the new uniforms have a much brighter blue than the old ones. Am I right?

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

Richmond wears Nike.

[smcwildcat]

UNH is all NIKE everything

[FCSbacker]

Ok, I know that I am a complete and total homer--But--I would like to submit The Citadel as having one of the top 10 best uniforms in 1-AA ( i refuse to use the term FCS)http://media.charleston.net/img/photos/2008/09/20/citadel_prince_first_2_t600.jpg

[Reign of Terrier]

Sorry, Wofford was already ranked 5TH in D1 (that's FBS and FCS)

[Shellin]

Cue MplsBison in 3....2.....1....

[GATA]

Under Armor has the sharpest uniforms out if you ask me...they make everybody's stuff look better...especially South Carolina.

I wouldn't mind seeing GSU get with the program and get some under armor uniforms...however, most of our "good ole boy" fans would throw a fit if we changed anything...

[FCSbacker]

I did see that link somewhere. I could not disagree more. I really think the terriers look cheesy when they wear those long white socks up to their knees with those clunky high top adidas's---just gross. You guys own us on the field (our last win was when I was a freshman in '98, we threw a throwback pass to win the game in the 4th quarter) but your uniforms are second rate in my opinion.

i like Wofford's uniforms...they're pretty good. i also think they wear black socks.

However, my favorite uniforms in the SOCON are those of the Chattanooga Mocs. I love the "metallic mustard" that they wear on away games..it really gets the crowd going.

[R3TRO]

I wish the UNH football uniforms were something that rivaled the hockey uniforms.

I don't even think I have to get started on facilities..

[Hoyadestroya85]

Villanova has been a Nike school forever

[FCSbacker]

Here are UTC's Mustard jerseys

I don't think we wear socks that long. I think it would be nice to "tweek" the jerseys though.

the Citadel's jerseys are a not so special IMO, you can't really make a real creative design with the colors they have (that's the main reason).

[JMU DJ]

Yes Sir

Fair assesment. I believe that our uniforms are sweet because very few teams wear that light blue and I believe it makes us stand out. Anyhow, I also think W&M, Georgetown, Richmond, Elon, etc have nice unis

The Citadel's home jerseys are a different color than the helmets.

Those uni's look pretty sweet. What are the other color options. Those remind me a little bit of Kentucky

[Big Dawg]

I wish FAMU had a contract with Nike. The MEAC and SWAC have contrats with Russel and they seem to give us new uniforms every year or so.

I've seen them play in person and the shade is different your other picture shows it.

Anyone else notice the slight shade difference? A picture is worth a thousand words.xsmiley_wix

[HiHiYikas]

ASU football and basketball wears Nike...track/CC and soccer wear adidas. Not sure how those kinds of contracts work.

In fact, there's an adidas ASU replica jersey, #14, that I've seen for sale all over the NC High country.

It's confusing.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Lehigh uses Russell which they have for a long time.

How many teams jerseys use screen printed numbers/letters compared to sewn on numbers/letters? Lehigh still uses screen printed.

[phoenixphanatic21]

Elon football and basketball wear Nike. I don't know about baseball and soccer, but I wouldn't be surprised if we did. What I think is interesting is that the student store has Nike, Adidas and Under Armour all for sale.

[GateRaider63]

Colgate wears Nike xthumbsupx ...

SOOOO, this picture is just a figment of my imagination? Also, season ticket holder here and friends with the Equipment Manager. The other pic that you referenced is obviously a result of shade on the players helmet. Also, you guys have a great program, a tough coach, and physical players----why cant you get more people to Gibbs stadium in Spartanburg?
The attendance for a program as good as yours is downright embarassing

[FCSbacker]

His jersey is obviously in the shade and his helmet is in direct sunlight.

[Hoseinexile07]

Presbyterian wears Nike. Too bad we only saw four instances of "nika" this season. xlolx

Liberty wears Nike as well.

[madisonfan87]

Just about everything our team wears is Nike.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the title, was MPLSbison has a new screen name. I'm surprised he hasn't chimed in yet.

[hippy@GSU]

I wouldn't mind seeing GSU get with the program and get some under armor uniforms...however, most of our "good ole boy" fans would throw a fit if we changed anything...
I throw a fit just thinking about changing those ole blue and white uniforms. Those plain old unis "scream team" and tradition= No flash just strictly business. During this topsy-turvy time in our program we need continuity and something to hang on to... tradition. You can have your vangoober ideas.

[KiddBrewer]

App wears Nike......but I remember we wore Russell I believe my freshman year of 2005. We made a big stink about not switching to Nike after 1st NC...I remember seeing Charlie Cobb being quoted saying, "They didnt want us before, so we dont want them now" or something to that effect. Needless to say, Nike must have thrown a deal at us that was too pretty and we feel into their trap. But...sweet jerseys we got now nonetheless.

[aceinthehole]

Those uni's look pretty sweet. What are the other color options. Those remind me a little bit of Kentucky

Exactly. They are identical to Kentucky and basically the same as Virginia Tech and a few others (with a different color scheme).

This year they wore Blue on White at home, although they did play at least 1 game Blue on Blue (I don't like that).

I think on the road they usually go White on Blue, but have also worn White on White too http://www.nmnathletics.com.edgesuite.net/pics21/400/FS/FSWTOBEPRLXKRCH.20080906231009.jpg

I've wondered that about the student store as well. I'm just glad to finally have name brand apparel and stuff that you're not ashamed of wearing in public!

[catamount man]

WCU has a deal with Adidas.

[93henfan]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm being told that this thread has set the record for most The Citadel photographs and medium turquoise, upsized-font text in AGS, and perhaps any internet message board, history.

[jstate83]

No Nike in this conference.

Russell/Spalding has been outfitting the SWAC since 2004.


Russell also continues to be a leader with exciting new partnerships. We just announced this week a contract with the Southwestern Athletic Conference and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, representing 21 historically black colleges and universities. This exclusive innovative partnership combines marketing and promotional activities with product sales, including team uniforms, sports equipment and license apparel for their college bookstores as well as license apparel for other retailers. This should provide incremental sales for most of our businesses, Russell Athletic Men's, Russell Athletic Women's, Jerzees, Spalding, Bike and Moving Comfort. Our college bookstore group also continues to add other new schools and is aggressively growing.

Now if they could just get some descent hats in too.

His jersey is obviously in the shade and his helmet is in direct sunlight.

I've seen them in person, they are a slightly different shade you have to look twice. I think it's because they paint them every week (that's what I've heard)

We don't get many people at our games because, in short, Our total amount of living alumni would probably equal that of an average ASU crowd. Not everybody loves football and sadly not everyone wants to got a Wofford game more than a USC or Clemson game which, in my opinion, is kind of stupid because we are more successful on our level than they have been in years.

Wow, those are some reasons about attendance that I did not contemplate. El Cid has an even smaller alumni base, but Charleston is probably a better draw. You guys have the Beacon--I love that place but can only eat there once a year at most.

[BEAR]

I think the jerseys that UCA wears are Wilson??? Check out the "W" in the collar area. Is it something else? another company? does anyone else's school use this company?

Texas State was Nike until this year, now we went to Adidas and are pretty much Notre Dame with maroon instead of blue.

Well, this answered my question. On the official Wilson site it has a UCA player wearing a uniform....(imagine my surprise...was kinda confused for a moment..LOL xlolx )

I believe Samford is still with Russell.
