New Adidas contract
- Thread starter WrlsCane
- Start date
Adidas will also be providing the band with new uniforms as well as other apparel for basketball games.
That's awesome for the band that they do that. I hope to see new gear at the bookstore this summer as well.
Captain Cane might want to speak to Adidas. He/She could use 3 or 4 costumes, no need to wear the same thing all the time.
Adidas never gave my band ****! And 2/3 of us wore the adidas casual. I opted for Puma myself.
No need to wear any rendition of the costume he has now. I think it should be changed to a live-mascot in a master and commander type "Captain's" uniform.
Think of the shenanigans we could get into with the Pirate from ECU.

Why would they gripe about free swag? That's part of my argument that the players are already partially being paid. Other students don't get 7-8 free new casual / athletic outfits every year.
I don't think he was talking about the marching band. I think it is more of getting an Adidas polo for the pep band kids. The marching band did get new uniforms about 5-6 years ago...they are the same design, but they aren't the same ones from 20 years ago.
The only details I've gotten on the new uniforms is the branding across all sports will finally be consistent in terms of logos and colors.
They did respond to my question on Twitter if they'd be releasing photos of them after July 1st though.

First day of adidas contract... Hopefully we get to see some gear today.
Ugh.... the TU uni's void of the traditional gold is disappointing and tired. Nothing can be as bad as the Carolina blue helmet Blankenship rolled out. I really wish TU would settle on 1 or 2 looks, quit changing every year. IMO nothing beats good ol' "old gold helmets/pants, royal blue jerseys w/ old gold lettering/numbering trimmed in crimson for home, and white Jersey w/ royal blue lettering/numbering trimmed in royal blue for away. The solid old gold helmet w/ script "Tulsa" and no helmet stripe is classic. No matte finish or chrome junked up look.

I don't think a single TU shirt I own is Nike. So I'm not really too concerned about the fan gear...there's plenty of vendors for that.
Agreed. If gold is not a prominent color of our uniform I will not be happy. University of Tulsa = traditionless.
The gold works better as a highlight IMO as gold hasn't transferred well to fan gear at TU.
Totally agree, WD. My one new gold TU shirt looks like watery mustard.
And yellow isn't right.
The golden domer fans don't really wear much of that color either.

Agreed. While I like the gold a lot, TU has struggled to market fan gear and/or uniforms with that as a primary color because it comes off as that Gulden's mustard color or that hideous combo of yellow/orange that the DW tie dyes took on. Stuff that uses the flecked gold as a highlight color translates well. And yes, the gold helmets are $$$ whether we are wearing blue, red, or black jerseys.
For a reasonable comparison, look at web sites for the University of Washington and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. I wish we could get back to those color schemes (except blue and not purple) w/ royal blue and gold in the unis and then most of the gear is royal blue w/ gold accents. Those teams use the gold very well.
I wouldn't mind having this shirt design with a tulsa logo on it in my closet: http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/06/29/201522/
We've finally got everyone trained to wear the blue. Let's stick it out.
They don't have it set yet, but should be the first week of August...probably around the 3rd.
Bingo! I won't even buy anything with gold on it. Its blue or nothing with me. Crimson as a border.
The fan gear can be the secondary or trim colors... royal blue or crimson, but IMO the primary team uni's color should be gold (i.e. - helmet, pants). Most Notre Dame gear I see is primarily secondary colors green or navy. TU has to be the only school with the nickname of Golden to not have gold in their football uni's.
I'm a traditionalist, I still think the 1980-85 basketball uni's were a great look, very unique and colorful. The gold color in those uni's wasn't old gold, but the white uni was very tasteful and the road uni was by far the best of the 3 looks, specifically the crimson numbers.
Even taking away the unique camo stripes, the font and color scheme would still look great on a solid royal blue uni imo.

Yeah, I think those are hideous. They look like a circus. But at the end of the day I don't care all that much to get worked up about what the team is wearing, I wouldn't say there's a single football combo I hate in the 20 years I've been a fan.
I'll just keep wearing blue either way.
