The interm A.D. should have made sure SMU maximized the Public Relation opportunity when introducing the new uniforms. Instead it looked liked they grabbed a couple of guys off the street, told them to throw on the uniforms and snapped the picture. "O.K. Here they are!" yippee!

Typical SMU, give them a chance they will screw it up.
GO MUSTANGS!

We sure have come a long way since 5 years ago.

Great to see major discussion on Nike designed uni.

Let's go 4-0

They aren't even posed properly.

These people get paid at lot of money to be effective implementators. This was an important image that gets seen by thousands of fans and the media...I hope there a better version of the shoot being worked and that this was a haphazard "sneak peak", because otherwise we really sh$t the bed here. With the Big East regime, I expect miles better.


This was a big deal that most schools w/a rudder try to capitalize on. Your take is spot on, and the reality is that Hart should have been all over this. Stop tweeting & put a presentation together that says big time. I know he just showed up, and I'm not trying to dog the guy, but it was on his watch, and it was an epic fail of the highest order.

IF hoops uni's go the way of football, you should all block me, if you haven't already
