44's returning, It's time to return the "ORANGEMEN"

[Scooch]

I'm all about tradition in college sports, and I certainly wouldn't mind if we added the "men" back to Orange, but it's not a front burner issue for me.

I've been much more pissed off about the retiring of #44 and the disappearance of orange in our uniforms.

I don't remember that longstanding "Let's go Orangemen" chant.

Search "Syracuse" on eBay and scroll away. If you don't find anything try again in a few days.

Adidas did, but now with the Nike move, "Lady Vols" is being scrapped for all women's teams except for basketball.

Tennessee women's teams have gone by the name "Lady Vols," short for Volunteers, since the 1970s. Last Monday, the school announced that "all sports other than women's basketball will compete under the name, 'Tennessee Volunteers,'" starting on July 1, 2015. This change is part of a campus branding transition as the school's athletic program switches its marketing manager and apparel provider from Adidas to Nike. Based on the results of a branding audit run by Nike, the decision was made to rename the majority of the women's sports teams.

The women's basketball team, however, will remain "Lady Vols" as an homage to Coach Pat Summitt. Summitt coached the basketball team for nearly forty years before retiring in 2012 for health reasons, and holds the record for the most all-time wins in NCAA basketball history for a coach of either a men's or women's team. In deference to her role in building the program, the women's basketball team will keep its original name.

Is the Tennessee AD related to Gross? The change sounds like something he would do.

I can still hear Doug Logan opening his broadcast by saying "The Syracuse Orangemen are on the air!"
All the male athletes of the Syracuse Orange are, by definition, Orangemen.
Cue the Caitlyn Jenner jokes.

Jake was at the helm when we switched to Orange.

I will say Orangemen/Orangewomen until the day I die. Sometimes when I slip and say "Orange" I want to find someone to punch me in the face.

I just searched "vintage Syracuse" on eBay. Too many to choose from. They're all ugly by today's standards, but still...

I don't know what to tell you. I saw several Orangemen t-shirts in the SU Bookstore at Schine a few months ago.

Would you like a ribbon. Or should everybody bat.
