false.... berkshire hathaway (buffett) purchased Russell Corp around 2006 and moved the corporate HQ from ATL back to Alexander City... they've slowly started to integrate Russell with Fruit of the Loom, but I believe HQs are still in Alex City.




Nope. In Bowling Green. LINK

And they've cut many of the jobs in Alex City.

Auburn has had those awful uniforms for several years now. I thought south Carolina had a similar one like that recently.

now, yes... it's in BG... when Auburn made the switch to under armor a few years ago... No, the HQs were in Alex City. Manufacturing has been overseas for years... the corporate structure remained largely intact for a number of years in BH.

Fruit of the Loom announced Wednesday its plan to relocate two Russell Corporation offices from Alexander City to Bowling Green, Ky., by the end of the year.


This was in August of 2009 when HQ moved to Bowling Green... up until that point, it was in Alex City, AL.... a good four years after Auburn made the switch to Under Armor.

Under Armour actually did a great job with the Missouri baseball uniforms.



Maybe they just don't care that much about Auburn baseball.

I hate all things Auburn.

But I kinda like those uniforms.
