Alabama is a massive national brand now, so the bandwagon has brought in a ton of money as well from around the country.



No you're not. Since I moved to Florida, I may have seen 1 Bama sticker on a car to every 100 AU one.

Massive national brand?

I travel a bit and never see anything Bama. In south Florida I see about triple AU stuff to Bama stuff.

Not that I see a lot of AU stuff, but I almost never see a Gump.

I agree, I don't think a ton of people outside the state are buying UA gear

Bama was the 2nd highest selling team for merchandise sales after Texas. So, somebody buying that stuff.

It's all the gumps in state that buy shirt after shirt and sticker after sticker to cover everything they own with.

Also people in neighboring areas within driving distance of Alabama.

It isn't outside of that radius.

I have seen 3 Bama tags or stickers the past 3 years on cars here. Versus about a dozen AU tags.

The Bama one is exact. I remember all three times. The first one was in late 2011. I was standing outside my office early afternoon under a tree on brickell avenue. A bird in the tree took a shite on me moments after the car drove by. I even made a post here about it.

Very interesting.

I've seen 26 Bama stickers here in new orleans in the past six months compared that to 4.5 auburn stickers in the same period (half of one got ripped off so it didn't count as much).

Nola is still deep south within easy driving distance for gumps.

funny you should say that, when I went to Colorado last year over labor day I say 7 people displaying crimson Alabama gear in some form or fashion and I only saw 1 Auburn fan.

I remember because I always give an Alabama fan a Roll Tide when I see them out and about and post it on my video blog. I do the same for Auburn so they know that the Bear is always watching.

Oh my god what is wrong with you people. Bama is without a doubt a national brand. Sorry you weirdos, with your UA hate, can't admit it. Jesus, get over yourselves.

Bama fan here and I can say that less than 1% of my wardrobe is bama stuff. With that being said screw the AU fans for their whine in this thread.
