No. Isn't the game sponsored by Adidas? That's why they have to use those hats that look like they purchased from a freeway vendor.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

Could we contact the parents of some of our recruit targets and mail them a good hat. Like the fitted baseball hats. I love mine. I have the green one with yellow front.

They don't use the big-name branded hats, so the Oregon "O" can't appear since it's only licensed to be used by Nike and certain other companies.

Now contacting the Army All-American Bowl representatives and sending it to them wouldn't violate any ncaa rules.

They won't use the right Oregon "O" unless they use a Nike hat, which I doubt they get unless one of the parents or recruits provides it. The others you mentioned are the generic logos for those schools that can be used by any hat company, as long as the school approves of it's use.Biggus Duckus wrote:They certainly do use big-name logos. Look at the Dior Mathis video, it's the traditional Michigan "M" and the Sparty logo. I remember a bunch of others too: UNC, Notre Dame, etc. They have only had trouble finding good Oregon hats in the past.
Seriously, that hat Mathis puts on looks like it's from the 1994 season.

IIRC, most of the hats used at the Army AA games were provided by Russell, so they don't use the Nike sponsored logo.

Hence they look like what I would find a bum wearing living in the blackberries near Walmart.woundedknees wrote:IIRC, most of the hats used at the Army AA games were provided by Russell, so they don't use the Nike sponsored logo.
