Lady Vols coming to an end?

[northknoxvol]

Hearing that Dave Hart is serious about combining the mens and womens programs. 1 uniform color, 1 logo, 1 name ect ect ect.

 

[Slydell]

So, the men's team will have blue trim and be called the Lady Vols?

 

[SDV]

I'm all for it

 

[vader]

My wife will be thrilled. She hates the baby blue.

 

[jwells]

What would be the point?

 

[Special Ed]

That's okay as long as Dave can spell etc.

Everyone knows you'll call him out on it if he can't.

1st I've heard of the athletic department going to one uniform color. Got a link? :hi: I like the LV baby blue accents.

Not for the next two years at least. Orders have already been made for next year with the Lady Vol identity, and it will continue for the teams for at least another year past that.

One coach of a women's team wanted to move to the Power T for next year and was told sternly no. The brand is extremely valuable in exposure and licensing, so don't look for it to disappear.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

No big deal as long at they're representing UT i'll still cheer for 'em

Same here. Even if Holly runs the team into the ground, I'll still support the team.

This is the University of Tennessee not the University of Lady Vols. Our colors are Orange and White, not powder blue.

The way the men's athletics have been going maybe it should be "The University of Lady Vols"

They've deserved it in every sport..

There would not be any women playing any sport at all without money given to them by the UTAD that was generated by the football program and the men's basketball program.

I'm pretty sure, the women were selling out TBA before the men's were

 

[I81Exit146]

What's wrong with leaving well enough alone? The color thing I wouldn't care so much, but Lady Vols has probably made a lot of money for UT. Stupor to change it.

 

[Orange Maniac]

It would be a stupid move to do away with the Lady Vol logo. It generates sales in itself. If there were no seperate logo etc., people would only have to buy one thing and not two seperate ones. If Hart doesn't understand the pull and power of the Lady Vol brand name, he needs to be fired. If you want to see this program disappear into medocrity, that's a good start.

Thousands of " Rug Doctors" beg to differ. :neener2:

Exactly where is this coming from?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Other than some of the Wade Houston years, nope.

 

[Tux]

and they were not making one thin dime, as they gave away tickets for a long time.

The girls teams at UT should have no ussye fitting under the same tent that all others athletic teams at UT work under.

 

[Slydell]

Walked into the men's games many times in the past at the half for free.
