You mock, but can't refute.

Let's look at Alabama. Yep - wow. They have an unabashed old school uni, heaped in tradition. We can all see it if we close our eyes. Has it been because they have stuck with it for so long - or because they've NC with it on in different decades?

Okay let's look at South Alabama. Close your eyes. What do you see? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Because they don't win at the highest level.

Let's try close to home. Think Syracuse basketball. What Uni do you see? Trick question. You can probably see every uni we've worn to a Final Four. Have a favorite? I do. It's the one that I remember them wearing when I first got swept up in the tourney run when I was in school. The script "Syracuse" across the chest. Why do I think of that as the iconic one? Winning. We won with it on, so for me that will always be the one. Do I love the newest "platinum" uni? Nope. But I'm more than okay with it because we've gone to a final four with it and have had a golden run of great seasons in them.

All teams that have traditional unis have them because they've had a winning history over time in them. Why is so hard to imagine that the reverse would be true? [I][B]That when a team has a bad season in a new uni, it exasperates the frustration?![/B][/I]

Also re:Sabres - What if they had sucked in the Mad Cow unis? Or the banana slugs? It's easy to market a winning product well. It's hard to market a losing program.
