Lady Vols Logo

How many other women's programs now, across the country, use the world 'lady" in their name? My sense is not many. It is an antiquated term--and the fact is, the female athletes here represent The University of Tennessee. They do not represent the female students or programs or the former women's athletic department; they represent the university. Women should want parity in all things--but then I guess we're talking about the south here.

Very few. I view it as a term of respect and "Lady Vol" is probably the strongest women's brand in the country. Just dumb to get rid of it.

Probably, but if this is all about marketing which you'd have a very difficult time convincing me it is, then we'd really be stupid just doing the same thing everybody else is doing.

Especially if it works for everybody else huh? :crazy:
 
Integrity, honor, loyalty, reverent, trustworthy, giving, courtesy, kindness, and courage are antiquated too by the way.

I prefer Lady Vols but if the women athletes were given a choice and they decided to change I'd support them 100%. It is just a shame the BOT decided to take that choice away from them and hide behind a couple of front men and go along with the politically correct tide. I guess they aren't pro choice.

it just shows there lack of concern for what the student athletes present and past think of it,not to mention us fans

why they would pick this to start a storm over is beyond me,they should have just said sorry,we didn't realize ya'll were so passionate about this

but they don't care,or the cash from Nike ,was to good ,I'm not sure how,but I do believe it has to do with cash from an apparel maker,I'm sure they could have found somebody that would have been proud to keep using the Lady Vols logo

hmmmm of course they wouldn't have a swoosh on the stuff,hopefully people that disagree,will just not buy any apparel that doesn't have Lady Vols on it,that will be the only way to get there attention and ask at the University shops,where did the name Lady Vols go to and why

don't be rude,just ask and say I would have bought one,but :)

sad isn't it ?

I wish everybody could be happy but that doesn't seem possible...I'll just pull for the university. :hi:
 
I am too,I can't help they have gotten this one wrong :)

A lot of people don't agree with you...you have enough to make a debate about it...as they already are. :). I fall in line with those that are certain the squawking will cease after the logo is unified or not. Just wish the vilification would end. It grew tiresome and silly long ago.
 
that it has,but they have gotten it wrong lol

and a lot do agree with me,most of the people that agree with you,never have given a crap about Lady Vols athletics and still don't

how have you been ?

Maybe most of the people that agree with me are too smart to get on a thread like this...luckily I'm immune to that. :). Always pulled for Tennessee teams...never segregated them like they went to seperate private schools. I'm a VOL fan and always will be. :hi:

Been doing well...daughter's first prom is tomorrow so my bank account took a punch. :wink2:
 
not to smart Butch,they just don't care


good to hear,amazing what a school dance can cost,isn't it ?
 
well look at this ,now I know who is the driving force behind this move


Report: Nike told UT to keep quiet about Lady Vols changes


it does seem that Nike is the one behind this,so much for Hart and company saying this was going to happen any way

I just read this too

Nike To Tennessee: Don't Talk About What We're Doing

so Nike told them to keep this quiet,so the athletes and fans couldn't get behind a stop it program sooner

so the BOT and Hart agreed to hide this from the everybody ?

as I said

sad isn't it ?

well look at this

"This is the same company that saw no problem telling Jimbo Fisher that his 9-year-old son had to change out of an Under Armour sweatshirt."

"Said ABC cameras were on Jimbo and his Son at end of the game…His son was Wearing Under Armour FSU sweatshirt! Ouch. Can we please ask Jimbo to eliminate that from the son's wardrobe in the future!"

this is a old article,but they did make a very good point

"The press release, of course, did not address the many concerns raised by former Lady Vols: the hypocrisy of not actually using the Power T for every team, how this unification is really just having the men's logo forced on them, and all the history they feel is being erased"
