im late, but i heard Radford Athletics is exclusively using red and white for all athletic teams now? and is also enforcing this on items in the bookstore? supposedly the reasoning behind it is to make the teams more uniform.
honestly, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me, but i kind of liked the blue or green as an accent...plus there is already an RU (Rutgers) that is just red and white ha
any thoughts?

they'll still wear blue as an alternate, which is fine by me.

This has been discussed in a handful of Facebook groups that have been talking about the rumors and from what I have heard, the hype is widely overblown. RU is still going to use the colors it has used for a while but will try to use white and red (as well as blue) as it's primary colors. That makes total sense to me because, to my knowledge, almost all colleges have those two-color primary sets. Thus, having things a bit more organized would be only taking the next logical step in making RU more mainstream.
...but this is only effecting the sports teams, from what I have heard. The bookstore will still sell blue-colored items. Blue RU hats have always been popular with students, faculty and the community.

Oh, that'd be nice. Unfortunately, I think NE probably thinks that RU is too small to make NE hats...

they wouldn't have to sell them nationally, new era makes custom hat orders, you just have to buy in bulk like 100 or so. RU could just sell them exclusively at the bookstores......i know, im dreaming

The folks who run the bookstore are very nice. I remember a few years back I suggested for them to sell jerseys and shorts at the store and they wrote me back. The best bet is probably talk to coach (the new one or current) about putting them in a store or at least ordering a bunch and maybe have the basketball office/athletics department to sell them.
