Even writers who apparently know little about us love these uniforms.
“The first way the Cougs decided to rally the troops … go for one of the best uniforms in HISTORY. A Houston Oilers inspired uniform which may very well be the SICKEST in all of sports…”
When i bought my season tickets in 1975, half of the crowd was non-Cougar alums.
I think this is a great marketing tool to get those non-Coog alums to games.
LOL…if you would have presented this idea to me a month ago, I would have laughed at it. And, when I saw it today for the first time, I have to admit, it wasn’t positive. BUT, with all of the hype and media buzz, and understanding where it’s coming from, I am so on board with it. Ha
You know what would make this even better? If Amy Adams-Strunk filed an emergency cease-and-desist order for UH to stop the use of the uniforms. Oh, the drama!
That would make a national story even bigger. No doubt this will be covered on Gameday. I doubt UH would get even a passing mention on Gameday without this happening.
I guess I’ll be the geezer who hates it. Makes us look small time. Piggy back off old NFL nostalgia to try to get support from locals. We’re a state, national, and international school, but this makes us look like the backup school for Houston HS students that too many already perceive us as.
Sure we need more city support. Maybe if I grew up in Houston I’d love it, but I grew up in Dallas. I love my school and team. It’ll be harder to watch a game when I don’t see my team on the field, but instead see an imitation of a team I dont care about at all.
I hope we pick up casual locals because its a turnoff to alums not from the city
