No that's the point. Really no one liked them. Barnhart was blasted about those combos. He even threw it on the players then they posted they hate them too lol. Start a poll and you'll quickly see the percentage of people that likes those for a full on branding is nearly 0. I live in Lex and was on campus for grad during a few of those years. Everyone hated them that I saw. I talk to fans all over I don't think I've heard one person who liked them in all these years. Not saying they're not around but it's so small they don't even hold a legitimate minority. Barnhart wanted that done and signed off and he wasn't going to change anything come hell or high water. Guy had it out for the base for a lot of years after the Tubby / Gillispie fiasco. That was one grudge he was holding. Notice it's dying and fans are given more now that he's exited. It's not a coincidence.
On the Oregon comments, they are some of the most popular combos there are. Checkerboards look like ****, they have some that aren't good some that are awesome and it fits what they do. They're usually top 3 in merchandise sales especislly outside of Blue bloods who sell based on fanbase volume. They are absolutely a top 10 for jersey sales by aggregate. They're a huge brand, so you might not like it but they're probably the single most popular brand outside of Blue bloods who like I said are just about fanbase size, not buying based on jersey popularity. Texas could wear pink jerseys with hearts and Texas fans will keep them top 10. Oregon checks all those boxes, people want to buy them in any case.
I love these power K, to me that's one of the best looks in football and absolutely the best in the SEC to me.
As for opinions, I wasn't asking an opinion. I was asking why some people act like looking good means you lose and looking bad means a win. It's bizarre that it's said as much as it is. Georgia looks good and wins. So does Texas. So does others. Why even bring that up? I was asking a question. Not sure why your branding has anything to do with field play. Look good because that's obvious. Win too, obvious.
