Hard pass.
Well, he didn’t retire until after Patterson was at TCU so probably around 1/4 of his listeners are still above ground and not all are on life support - most but not all.
"Ruminating By The River"?I prefer “Bovine Village-upon-Trinity” myself.
Do they have the teeny numbers and SMU/BYU stripes?It is a practice jersey that has been Photoshopped. The real thing (or the renderings I have seen) is cleaaannn.
I renamed an area where I worked as FWD. pissed off those who live and work east of 360. But I maintained that it was about constantly moving forward.Like I said, I’m all for an alternative uni that reps the area. As a guy who works in Sales and Marketing it clashes to much with the DFW vibes Sonny has been putting out. If the idea is to be DFWs team than building on that in a creative way makes more sense. It’s not succinct from a branding perspective to run around calling yourself DFWs B12 Team and then in another breath putting a Fort Worth nickname on your uni. Pick a branding direction that’s cohesive.
IMO you build on the Metroplex idea somehow or abandon the DFW thing altogether and just run at FunkyTown or FunkDubTX.
Good points, but the Cowboys, Mavericks and Stars are tagged with Dallas and I will guess everybody feels those teams represent the entire DFW Metroplex. Funkytown is part of the DFW metroplex like those teams are part. And maybe Funkytown, while being a part of DFW can also be marketed as a “home away from home” for recruits on the east side of the metroplex--come on over to the FunkyTown side of DFW, and get just a bit of distance.Like I said, I’m all for an alternative uni that reps the area.

In Marketing the purpose matters. The questions you ask matter greatly.Good points, but the Cowboys, Mavericks and Stars are tagged with Dallas and I will guess everybody feels those teams represent the entire DFW Metroplex.

Spot on in many ways. Mixed messaging does not work wellLike I said, I’m all for an alternative uni that reps the area.

But, but they liked the ones we wore before?!?if the kids like em i dont care
We don't have a classic uniform like Alabama. We've changed so many times over the years that we can't decide to be traditional now. The uniforms aren't the reason we've lost the last few years. It was the head coachBut, but they liked the ones we wore before?!?
Apparently letting the kids run the show results in wins.
Hey, coach Saban, let’s let the kids design some flashy new unis!
