look, nike can make all the different stuff they want. it's their dime and they can spend it however they want. but in the end, when it comes down to it, the schools have final say on if they want to wear the new style or not.
nike can create new things and put them out there and most people will believe that the school will be using the new uniform. even though no one, NO ONE, from the school has said anything about it.
do you really think ANYONE at THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA would make a change like that and not put it out there? if it doesn't come directly from the school or athletic department, then it ain't happening. PERIOD!
things like this happen just about every year. and just about every year a lot of people start complaining without doing any amount of research for themselves and just take whatever some reporter or "insider" says as gospel.
ALABAMA isn't oregon (thank goodness, that crap they wear is effin' hideous). ALABAMA is tradition.....plain and simple.
