That's a complete falsehood.

Adidas came in at $250,00 per year. Russell bid $200,000. Under Armor bid just under $100,000 per year, and Nike did not submit a bid.

On top of that, Adidas and Russell offered a MUCH higher discount off list prices for equipment than Under Armor.

Adidas was by far the BEST offer. You should get your facts straight before posting incorrect info on a public forum.

RE: Best looking SBC football uniforms
first thing is the uni's look better on a real football player and not those scrawny manikins. Also, I noticed they switched the helmets from the Russel uni's. Maybe those are enough of a difference. I think a big thing for UL fans is the lack of Louisiana on the front. This may be do to the school conceding under pressure (or just tired of fighting about it). Overall they are not bad, but it could use something just not sure what. Also, Adidas may look simple but I'm sure the quality is there. The manufacturer takes it design from the school and if the school doesn't want it then they'll make the needed changes.


Also, gatadotcom, are you referring to our (GS) bidding or UL's uniform bids? and why would a school pick the lowest bidder? Aren't they paying you to wear there product?

He's referring to their deal.

As for the bidder, you are right. You go with the one that's giving you more money, unless the equipment deal figures don't balance out.

No piping, no stripes, Fluir De Lis same size as the Adidas Logo, no Louisiana on the chest plate. Abomination!

Russel had crap ancillary products, but had better uniforms than this. Although they have now crawfished and announced these were only mock ups. On display for 1 hour and they had to announce that they were not the final uni's due to fan outrage. 99% of the base thought they were terrible.

I knew that they were display only uniforms just before the announcement. Those in attendance were told that.

I personally don't have a problem with the mock ups if they were the new uniforms. They are red and white and don't have crazy crap all over them. And really, there's not much difference than what Russell had for us last season.

I hope you are not serious with that last comment?

Compared to this:
[Image: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ_oI1acCmMVLuBDVpSNPI...xVXlJvJEwY]

I think it's an improvement. The adidas unis look clean. The only thing I'd change is the logo on the helmet. I like the Fluir De Lis, and think it would look good on the helmets. I also think the y'all need red or black pants with the white jersey.

Don't like Adidas uniforms. Man, I don't care much for App's, but they look killer beside those things. I dig the black pants, shoulder and pants stripes on the previous unis. Just enough, but not too much.

I don't need to trust him, my best friend is the under armor rep who did the bid, his company used to rep Adidas but dropped them because they were constantly out of stock. I know what im talking about. Our administration will soon see the mistake they made, we had a great oppertunity that we failed to take advantage of because our AD is a joke. Everyone is dropping Adidas.

Nah, that's alright. I've got better things to do than try to change the 'groupthink' that goes on over there. If you're not part of the "kliq" then you are chastised for not being a "true Cajun fan."

Nope. But nice try though.

P.S.- I'm sure you can file a FOIA with the athletic department to see if your best friend is telling the truth about being the lowest bidder.

Everyone dropping Adidas? You mean like how Louisville just dropped them.
18 colleges have dropped Adidas in the past year, notre dame, Tennessee, Washington, and many others. The under armor rep is an alumnus, former football player that played for the grant land rice bowl team at usl in 1970. He went out on his own and raised the difference in cost over the bid compared to Russell. So we could have had under armor for the same price of Russell. Under armor offered to design us our very own uniform exclusive to us for a year as well as have us on the cover of the under armor catalog which ends up on the desk of every high school in the nation. We would have been the first and only team in the sunbelt with under armor. Instead we are the 5th team with Adidas. All of the Adidas practice apparel, shorts,shirts, jackets, warm ups( everything except actual uniforms) will come in blank then each coach will have to send them out to get our logos printed on them. The same guy who is the under armor rep that didn't get the bid, has already been contacted to print our logos on the Adidas apparel at the cost to each program, there is your savings on the low bid. The difference in bids was minimal in actual cost because of the outside funds he secured to make up the difference. But keep defending your little buddy Scott farmer, I'm actually just really creative and decided to make all this stuff up, but hey...I don't know what I'm talking about. Listen to the guy that tried to convince everyone we had ragin Cajuns on our chest last year even though our jerseys have said Louisiana for at least 6 years. The department will regret going with Adidas and passing on the oppertunity we had with UA.

Spin it how you want pal, but the numbers presented by gatadotcom show that Under Armor wasn't close on the bid. Outside funds don't come in to play in the bid process. Perhaps he should have worked more on his bid than on raising outside funds. The fact that the Under Armor rep is alum and former player doesn't change that his bid wasn't the best option under the specifications to award the bid.

Not defending Scott Farmer. Defending the process that they are required to follow when awarding bids.

Best looking SBC football uniforms
Personally I'd be OK with the white helmet for USA if the helmet had the USA lettering from the university monogram on the sides in red, and a blue stripe down the middle. You could reverse the colors, but nearly every instance of the university monogram uses red lettering.

I liked the old stalking Jaguar better than the new logo, although I would have loved to have something more along the lines of IUPUI's logo for athletics.

I don't need to trust him, my best friend is the under armor rep who did the bid, his company used to rep Adidas but dropped them because they were constantly out of stock. I know what im talking about. Our administration will soon see the mistake they made, we had a great oppertunity that we failed to take advantage of because our AD is a joke. Everyone is dropping Adidas.

Me thinks your friend is giving out bad info so that he doesn't look so bad.

Everyone dropping Adidas? You mean like how Louisville just dropped them.
18 colleges have dropped Adidas in the past year, notre dame, Tennessee, Washington, and many others. The under armor rep is an alumnus, former football player that played for the grant land rice bowl team at usl in 1970. He went out on his own and raised the difference in cost over the bid compared to Russell. So we could have had under armor for the same price of Russell. Under armor offered to design us our very own uniform exclusive to us for a year as well as have us on the cover of the under armor catalog which ends up on the desk of every high school in the nation. We would have been the first and only team in the sunbelt with under armor. Instead we are the 5th team with Adidas. All of the Adidas practice apparel, shorts,shirts, jackets, warm ups( everything except actual uniforms) will come in blank then each coach will have to send them out to get our logos printed on them. The same guy who is the under armor rep that didn't get the bid, has already been contacted to print our logos on the Adidas apparel at the cost to each program, there is your savings on the low bid. The difference in bids was minimal in actual cost because of the outside funds he secured to make up the difference. But keep defending your little buddy Scott farmer, I'm actually just really creative and decided to make all this stuff up, but hey...I don't know what I'm talking about. Listen to the guy that tried to convince everyone we had ragin Cajuns on our chest last year even though our jerseys have said Louisiana for at least 6 years. The department will regret going with Adidas and passing on the oppertunity we had with UA.

Spin it how you want pal, but the numbers presented by gatadotcom show that Under Armor wasn't close on the bid. Outside funds don't come in to play in the bid process. Perhaps he should have worked more on his bid than on raising outside funds. The fact that the Under Armor rep is alum and former player doesn't change that his bid wasn't the best option under the specifications to award the bid.

Not defending Scott Farmer. Defending the process that they are required to follow when awarding bids.
You arent required to take the lowest bid, this isn't construction. I'm not spinning anything. If we wanted nike and someone wanted to pay for it, or the university wanted to pay for it, they can. Outside money does matter. Gatadatcom (mr get your facts straight) tried telling everyone we wore ragin Cajuns on our chest last year, we didn't..not once. Look at the damn pictures of Russell below the Adidas and what do both jerseys say? It's weird bc our AD released the same exact statement, I can't remember the last time we had ragin Cajuns on our jerseys. You are the ones trying to spin it, while there is a picture of our new ULM replica uni's above.

Why don't you do it yourself? Copy and paste really isn't that hard.

Nah, that's alright. I've got better things to do than try to change the 'groupthink' that goes on over there. If you're not part of the "kliq" then you are chastised for not being a "true Cajun fan."

You sound like a butthurt little biatch to me...

Somebody hurt your wittle feelings over on Ragin' Pagin?? :-(

Nope. But nice try though.

P.S.- I'm sure you can file a FOIA with the athletic department to see if your best friend is telling the truth about being the lowest bidder.

Someone is a little slow. I have no friends who are uniform reps or who are involved in uniform sales.
If you have a problem with posters on RP, then take it up with them on that site. Your bitching and moaning on the S-BC board about posters on another website makes you look like a giant crybaby. Man up and take your fight to RP.
