What I seen none of these blogs or boards mention is that those Bobcats went out and absolutely crushed a team they'd lost six straight games against.

I'd like to sit here and bemoan the fact that a nugget like that is fodder for the managers of that school to the west that Ohio has beaten a number of straight times. But then I reconsider and realize that Miami doesn't have that kind of grit.

Nor does Abercrombie make football jerseys.

It will be kind of odd if they sell the black jerseys, even though you can't buy a replica normal jersey.

With our market, you have to capitalize on the sensational...

They definitely should sell these. They are are very cool; Russell did a great job with them, working in the green and white in a black jersey, including the "Ohio" logo sleeves. It was done at no cost to the Athletic Department, so presumably they will want to recoup their costs with additional sales, so, if they DON'T sell these, I have to wonder what they were thinking...

I love it that everyone was so into this. I love how the equipment guys kept it a secret, and worked it up to this. Now these black jerseys will take on an even more special meaning. My guess is that we see them again one more time this year, and then in future years, at most 1-2 times a year. I'm also guessing that the team plays especially well when wearing them.

I'll bet every uniform selling rep in the country has downloaded that and will be showing it to every school they call on, immediately followed by the final score. It is all about the results!

The contract with Russell is up after this year and they want to keep our business.

I have friends that would never ask for such a thing asking for black jerseys.

It is imperative these be marketed.

I was walking out of the Stadium last saturday and even heard a couple students mention that they'd love to get their hands on one of the jerseys.  That's not something you hear around Athens everyday.  Russell has the ability to make decent replicas, see the GT one below for $60, and after this video has gone viral, you wouid think there would be a decent demand.

A couple other comments that I will make about this video. First and foremost, you can see that the team and staff are a close knit bunch. Secondly, you can see that they are having fun. Both are important for a great season. Go Bobcats.
