No, coaching changes and uniform supplier changes. Since we've been in the SEC, We've had 5 different HCs with input on the unis and the supplier went like this Russell (IIRC)80 something - 93, APEX 94-96, Reebok 97-2000, Nike 2001-2004, Adidas 2005-2009, Nike 2010-current.

Yeah, I figured that had a lot to do with it...I'm not one of the "Arky Bashers", by trade.

I like the series with Arkansas- always have. I'd like to see you guys land a coach who will bring some stability to the program. it's certainly been a great one, at times. Perhaps things are getting on the right track, now- it certainly doesn't happen overnight....

The reason for the switch while with Nike is they have been working on a "branding" scheme for Arkansas for a few years now, same font across all programs (UGA and others have done the same) standardizing the color platforms (Our shade of red changed every time we switched providers), etc.

The first Nike unis was a generic template, the second was a template created from their NFL templates, the current change was scheduled, but Bert dialed it back from what Petrino had in mind, apparently.
