Zip Watcher Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 This is blowing up. Unlike the NIU-EMU fiasco, this has been great for the MAC. With so many people likely to tune in, I hope it's an entertaining, well played game. Go Zips! I hope Stalyga gets at least 4 shots up. Quote

I'll be stylin' at the Y, kicking tail with my "old man game." I actually don't think Nike had anything to do with these uniforms. If I recall correctly, teams like Akron usually pick from a Nike or Adidas catalog which jersey "template" they want to use. The manufacturers just send the school uniforms in whichever colors they pick and a local seamstress adds on numbers and logos. Nike only really designs uniforms for the big schools willing to pay for it, OSU, Oregon, Syracuse, etc. This is the reason you'll see dozens of teams wearing the same type of jerseys like the Zips, just different colors. As for the NCAA I don't really care that they squashed the @ZipsMBB. I honestly think we are getting WAY more press just by being denied the request. It was a win-win attempt by UA. But for the rest of the season I hope we can be known for the play on the court!! I say since we're wearing the "Z" jerseys the Rowdies should steal the hand sign from Dude Where's My Car Quote

Alberts was my high school basketball coach my junior and senior season. He wasn't joking that he had zip code range. Quote
