This thread cracks me up. The bottom line is this, we all want to win and to win we need top recruits. Does a high school kid pick a school for the uniform? No, does what the high school kid gets when gets to college and receives matter? Yes. High school kids want to wear nike when they go to class and when they go home and visit their friends they want to have the new nike it item. The truth is UT tradition doesn't get noticed by high schoolers, new/unique uniforms get you noticed. Once noticed you can sell them on the traditions of UT. I know this cause I coach and work in an athletic department at a high school in Orlando and I know an athlete from this area that didn't choose UT and a factor was nike. Adidas can do a unique uniform just like nike so the bottom line is UT needs to make a change of thinking, not necessarily a uniform brand change,
