Stickney Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Why you guys all nitting on NU fan in Denver? He has a valid point, the major traditional powers are not changing their regular jerseys. There is a big difference between what Oregon and Okie Lite are doing, and tOSU and Florida wearing Pro Combat once per year. Don't make a mountain out of a god damn molehill Semantics. Many of the "traditional" powers have worn one or multiple alternate jerseys, whether they be crazy modern or throwbacks. The end result is a demand for a "new" piece of merchandise for the fans. Sales for the apparel company. Licensing royalties to the school. Some schools like Oregon do this constantly. Others have done it once or twice a season. But many schools have done this, and many will do it more over. The reasons they do it are all the same. Quote Link to comment

And we even have done it, we wore throwbacks for the 300th sellout. A lot of the Pro Combat stuff is done in a throwback fashion, for example, tOSU, Michigan, and Alabama. If you can't see the difference between a once-a-year thing and an every game thing, then I feel sorry for you. I agree that the reasons for doing so are the same, but lets not lump Ohio State in with Maryland and Oregon, that is insane. Quote Link to comment

skersfan Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It is marketing for Nike, Nike basically owns Oregon now in a sense. Everything is about their uniforms, the money Nike gives the program and on and on. MONEY MONEY, but if you think Nike did not want bama and lsu in their combat uniforms you are crazy. A lot of money had to have been offered for the MNC game. That would have been a big marketing payday for NIKE. Quote Link to comment
