They look black and they are black, but the adult size has white numbers and stripes.

And they are 55 bucks.

Clements should have banned VarsityShop in the 80s

All the initial pictures are from various online sports shops (www.shopncaasports.com)...those same designs are used for almost every school in the same color so it's not exclusive to SMU.

Still, like someone said, I didn't graduate from Tech...wear blue!

Ever feel like you just flat out missed something? I do not understand the hatred for VarsityShop. At best, it seems very very petty. Can someone please explain?

I think some on these boards believe he is either an AD employee or at a minimum an AD stooge. He appears to always be the first to defend and or support the Athletic Department in what ever they do or say. I have no clue as to whether or not he is actually either of those possibilities.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Every school has some black jerseys for sale. I've made my views known about those and got blasted as to why I thought they were made and won't go back there. Its all about marketing.

Ok, but so what if someone works for the school? As SMU fans, isn't that what we're here supporting, our school? Don't understand the deep distrust.

because he stands by and supports the decisions that are made by the athletic department. people who don't agree with the changes think he's in on it, which as an employee, he should support any decision of the school - whether he agrees with it or not.

it's dumb. he's a nice guy who loves his school, loves the football program and supports the guys who SMU has hired to make the decisions and coach the teams.
