It was a legacy of Jeff Long and Bert and is basically a picture of Bert's face.

Will it go?

I wish we'd separate ourselves and make a play for Jordan gear.

Jordan gear would be dope, but I’m not sure we’re big enough for that. If we could get the track and field team on board with it...maybe.

I hope poomba dies.

Didn't someone make mention yesterday about having a meeting or something to discuss a branding issue? I hope to hell this is what they're discussing.

Lots of question to be answered by Morris for the football team. What are his thoughts on white cleats vs black. I’m hoping we go back to the sweet red/white cleats. They look so much better with our uniforms.

Also, he got into the different uniform color combos and helmets at SMU. Is he planning on doing that here? Is he going to refresh the uniforms. He took SMU back to a traditional look so perhaps he’ll do that here as well.

Lots to look at from a branding standpoint over the next few months.

We're stuck with pepsi until 2022 I think. It was a 10 yr contract that the Yankee got us stuck in.

Pumba hog on the other hand, I pray we burn every item that he is found on and never speak of him again.

I think you're right. Iirc it was also stated that the Pepsi contract was WAY above and beyond what the other dudes were offering.

I've never understood why so many people have an issue with this. We shouldn't be drinking soda at all, to be honest. That shite is poison. I mean, I drink it myself, but I shouldn't. I couldn't care less what brand they wanna roll with. I feel like an idiot every time I put that goldeny goodness of mountain dew to my lips.

It mostly just played into the "Jeff Long is a dirty Yankee that wants to destroy our traditions" narrative.

Hoping like hell that he does. We need to go back to a traditional, clean uniform look, stop messing with it every 2-4 years, and stop whoring our brand standards out to apparel companies.

I used to shite all over Adidas, but I like what they did in returning Nike to a traditional look. I honestly wish we’d go to Jordan or Under Armour.

Agreed. It was ugly bullshite conjured up by Nike for their schools as an excuse to sell more merchandise. You know that red golf shirt you like - guess what, we’ve now got a Pumba Hog version!

I like Nike and was excited when we made the move back to them in 2010, but their fan apparel has been trash the last few years. I look at stuff like the white whindbreaker hoodie with the enormous Pumba Hog logo on it and think “who the hell thought this looked good?”

A dirty Yankee, yes. But he certainly continued the tradition of garbage alternative logos started by Popcorn Hog.

It was.

I’m no Jeff Long apologist by any stretch of the imagination, but the Pepsi thing was a campus-wide exclusivity deal cut by the UA administration.

Long deserves shite for many things that occurred during his tenure, but that’s not one of them.

I would LOVE to see us make some minor tweaks to the Cowboys replicas and use those fulltime.

Came here to post this. I would even be okay with Cowboy Replicas if we went with white helmets and a red hog.

With Morris seemingly going full SWC-feels (which I'm all for)... All of the following should be brought back in primary capacities and anything Long Bert did should go buhh bye:

Numerous uno:

Go to those with no Arkansas on the front and I'm down.

All we need is hog on the sleeve and the helmet.

I Love that helmet.
