I can respect that opinion. I just think it doesn't fly in this day and age. CFB is bigger business than it ever was - our donations and attendance are not as important as they once were with TV money floating around. Just "inviting a young man to be a part of the program" doesn't work on it's own anymore. Our competition is "inviting" them too - only with more bells and whistles. Uni's are apart of that equation.

And all due respect - the uniforms are not only for long term fans of the program. If they were, you'd get complimentary fan uni's provided upon entry to the dome. They are for the players who wear them and fans who follow the team. I defer to the players who actually give blood and sweat and put their physical well-being on the line (and possible long-lasting head trauma).

Finally. Kids do love new stuff. But to assume that they wouldn't care if it were Hawaiian - shows how little you care for the players who don the uni. Patronizing old fans alienate young athletes.
