Other than when Anthony Bellino and Kevin Mullan would do the on-field promo stuff, they have always had people who have no charisma in front of the camera. They are always reading word-for-word off a clipboard. No rhythm. The lady they had at the Morgan St game is on BCSN, so she knows how to act and talk in front of a camera.

This is the shirt they're handing out, so if there was a color out... It would be of the shirts they are giving out. BYU COLORS.

Yep, someone wasn't thinking.

Pretty boring shirt. But it's a give away. Can't expect a whole lot I guess. Sadly, it is BYU colors, though...

Besides Morgan State was BGsucks only win …. you don't want to compared to them folks do you?????

Give free jerseys away to season ticket holders. Buy two lazyboy recliners and draw season ticket holder names for each game. There are all kinds of things like this that could be done. Hell give the game ball away. Coin toss. But the key is season ticket holders. By the way. Since it was my idea, I get first dibs on the chairs
These types of things don't get me to buy season tix. The product on the field and court does. Plus the rockets are my school, my team and who I follow. All of those promotions brings revenue into the athletic dept. No getting away from them.

Obviously this was not thought out or researched . At all
At first I thought the complaint was a white shirt with blue logo. After seeing it, the blue shirt, white logo is better. Hard to tell it its midnight. Looks more navy. I agree, gold shirts or gold logo would have been better.
My one peeve is when they do these things is if they hand them out free to students, why there isn't a dozen fan booths selling them for $5-$10 to participate. Hard to have an "out" anything if 97% of the crowd is wearing street cloths.

Exactly. They wouldn't even have them in the Rocket shop. Then to add insult to injury, they usually announce it a day or so before the game, so even if they did have them for sale, you couldn't get to campus to participate.
