So our black jersey will have tiger stripes hmm... - tg1979 MU - 4/11 11:02:11

I think theyre sick nm - Tiggggazzz MU - 4/11 20:12:09

You wont see them though, our jerseys have that - MJ6 UK - 4/11 12:53:28

but rock888 says big time programs don't need these kinds - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 12:55:53

They clearly don't need them and they are probably a - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:57:58

They're not the same - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:58:59

They are jerseys, no matter who makes them, there will - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:02:15

exactly (nm) - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 13:05:01

well all of them have two arm holes and a neck hole - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:03:37

not really, there will always be similar design elements - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:08:19

So adidias has a giant black splotch on the backs - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:10:13

Adidas jerseys have similar elements to the other Adidias - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:13:55

Yep you are 100% right. - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:14:34

So it doesn't matter who makes our jerseys. They will - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:18:39

Not true. It's completely possible to have a unique uniform - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:20:19

He doesn't get it, don't bother. - McMuffin MU - 4/11 13:01:19

so subtle that they are unable to be seen by the naked eye - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:05:03

So the element they decided to say "Nike" can't be seen? - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:12:46

the black splotch can be seen, it's the detail that is - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:13:59

What black splotch? - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:26:44

RE: so subtle that they are unable to be seen by the naked eye - McMuffin MU - 4/11 13:07:52

No, ours will say Tigers, because you know we're - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:01:01

Thats probably an alternate - MJ6 UK - 4/11 13:28:13

That's inconistent, which I thought that the point was - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:29:13

No is isn't, it's a alternate. thats why it's called a - MJ6 UK - 4/11 13:35:22

I don't care either, it's just showing that missouri is - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:37:11

Did you even read what MJ6 said? - high.nrg STL - 4/11 15:49:48

Still proves my point - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 13:04:43

And? - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:05:20

They're not the same (nm) - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 13:05:53

they are not 100% identical, no. And? - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:06:38

RE: they are not 100% identical, no. And? - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 13:09:10

If you consider the words on a uniform to be the totality of - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:12:01

RE: If you consider the words on a uniform to be the totality of - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 13:20:04

baseball uniforms don't have boilerplate designs - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:21:53

You used it as an insult to him. So.. ya. You're - high.nrg STL - 4/11 15:51:40

You're not supposed to be able to see it. It's basically - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:54:36

only in your eyes. Quit pretending everyone knows who makes - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:00:13

Everyone doesn't, which is what Nike is trying to change - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:02:39

And it's clearly not working. And like I've said before, Nik - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:05:35

Again, you're proving the point with your own anecdotes. - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:07:46

So it took these marketing geniuses this long? - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:11:19

If you want to assume that Nike is full of boneheads - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:12:40

Ok, so you believe they are geniuses. - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:16:42

Marketing is a moving target - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:19:16

Nike sh*t will sell if they stopped advertising or sponsorin - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:23:42

So you're saying that Nike is wasting the millions of $ they - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:27:59

Well lets see here. You're argument is that they have - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:32:34

I are argument? And no, that is the opposite of what - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:39:43

Unfortunate,wish we could stick with normal looking jerseys(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 4/11 12:18:44

but but but....people in utah will be confused. They'll - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:21:26

Speaking on nonsense - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:29:17

Wasn't confusing when our jerseys used to say - FIJItiger MU

- 4/11 12:25:17

Yep, which is why the idea of selling the mizzou brand is - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:27:09

RE: Yep, which is why the idea of selling the mizzou brand is - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:30:42

What does change have to do with anything? - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:32:36

Are you denying things change? - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 12:38:52

Nope. Things certainly change. What is your point? - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:40:20

You are too dense. The colors or mascot have never changed - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 12:42:59

I'm pretty sure the colors have changed. Look at the helmet - laynejw KC - 4/11 16:21:35

Everyone makes money off these amatuer athletes - FIJItiger MU

- 4/11 12:46:27

Uniform changes will happen regardless of money. - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 12:48:44

the conclusion was "this is not a problem" - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:58:28

And concluding it is a problem is not "A heck of a conclusio - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:01:25

A guy from Nike himself said it's a huge problem. That schoo - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:06:07

And a lot of "guys" on Tigerboard and within MU AD say - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 13:09:29

Ok, so Alden on his own came up with a design that - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:13:12

Again, I only have two problems with it - FIJItiger MU

- 4/11 12:50:12

That's a heck of a conclusion to jump to. - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:49:17

Really? So the reason for every uniform change we've - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 12:53:05

No that is not true. did I say it was? - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:55:16

Well lets look at this logically. I said "Uniform changes ha - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 12:57:59

100% right. It'd be nice if we could sell out and at least - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:47:17

But change happens, so it'd be ok if they did go to red and - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:45:06

Let me ask you this - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:47:37

I want you to explain "this" first. I can't wait any longer - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:50:12

RE: I want you to explain "this" first. I can't wait any longer - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:52:58

There isn't one school that has never changed their - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 12:47:35

So? Not sure anyone here is saying the uniforms can't - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:51:05

You done? (nm) - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:38:29

Please explain "this" to me. You said you would. Can you - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:39:36

Are you done crying? - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:40:22

Please explain "this". It's all I'm asking. - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:40:52

Yes or no, are you done crying? (nm) - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:41:33

Yes. Oh dear god yes. I'm done crying, you are such - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:46:24

OK, THIS is very complex, so I hope you are ready - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:52:16

I already knew that and said so. You didn't explain anything - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:54:04

Actually, I really dig chicks - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 12:57:22

So how far would you go for that money? - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:59:50

You're a weird dude - Hickeytime MU - 4/11 13:03:53

so you're anti-change? Hypocrite. - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:08:51

For someone like you who has difficulty following basic - McMuffin MU - 4/11 12:32:23

Yes, I think doing what some of the other top level - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:52:52

Mizzou had creative control on the whole process - McMuffin MU - 4/11 12:57:02

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:00:16

So you were in the room with the Mizzou AD and coaches - McMuffin MU - 4/11 13:05:57

No. However when their uniforms are copies of a dozen - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:09:35

Ugh. - HissingPrigs77 MU - 4/11 12:00:49

Nike pays it's $$$ to let schools bastardize their own - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:18:54

Umm, Duke, Kentucky, Texas all have that patterning - McMuffin MU - 4/11 12:26:09

That's EXACTLY my point. - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:28:11

Huh? Don't follow. So you'd rather it be more outlandish - McMuffin MU - 4/11 12:30:19

I'd rather mizzou have unique uniforms to them, not - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:34:31

These unis look pretty unique - McMuffin MU - 4/11 12:43:43

you won't be able to tell they're stripes - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:48:41

Speaking of big jumps in logic - McMuffin MU - 4/11 12:51:26

no they aren't. consisently people ask what that big black - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:56:44

Except all the cammo crap on Baylor's jerseys is by - McMuffin MU - 4/11 12:59:16

Why does it need a brand? I'd hope the brand would be: - laynejw KC - 4/11 16:25:43

Because the uniforms are not unique to the school, but rathe - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:29:10

You have a misunderstanding of the words "unique" and - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 12:32:53

I'm not suggesting the old uniforms are unique. - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:37:04

lmao, sure... - Mizzmi27 MU - 4/11 12:41:06

Here is a tongue and cheek question: What Missouri Brand? - awan318 MU - 4/11 12:03:11

Interesting, considering the bball jerseys say - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:17:55

The Mizzou Tigers. BTW, I have seen screen shoots with the - awan318 MU - 4/11 12:23:45

Yep, right around 8 seconds in, it flashes across the screen - awan318 MU - 4/11 12:34:22

Then why have "Tigers" on the basketball uniforms - rock8888 MU - 4/11 12:38:48

Mizzou Tigers. I get your point that unless they put - awan318 MU - 4/11 12:42:23

very few, but I don't hear anyone else trying to - rock8888 MU - 4/11 13:16:00
