sgm405 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Just got mine out from the other night and looked at the back and read through it once again....pretty damn creative. Kudos to whoever came up with all of that!(Just next year let's please go back to blue shirts! lol) Quote
Blue & Gold Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 So what do they say?And they're not yellow, are they?! I think I remember some poster describing them as yellow? Can't is pee-yellow. WE ARE GOLD!!! I hope they meant GOLD and were just making a mental blunder! Quote
RowdyZip Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Gold is kinda a tough color to get on a tshirt...I agree with sgm with goin back to the blue. These ones are not gold...more of a really light yellow. Sorry, but last years shirts were better. Quote
GoZips88 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 I love the idea (great run of beer commercials) but ... the Zippers were based on a product by the B.F. Goodrich Company, not Goodyear. Quote
AK-Zips Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 I love the idea (great run of beer commercials) but ... the Zippers were based on a product by the B.F. Goodrich Company, not Goodyear. yeah... two thing i noticed... the first is on the frobnt where is has EST. '05. I lied last years EST. 2005 way better and what's with the word University being cut at the end of a line and split in two?! some details are being overlooked UAM! i do like the gold color though. I think of it this way, every school we play with the color blue has blue shirts so why not exploit the fact that we wear gold! at least it sets us apart.Kudos on getting the name on video games. I heard about this happening back in June when a former worker and friend of mine was at a college sports convention representing UA. They were putting in student section names and he approached and made sure AK-ROWDIES would be in there. He didn't even know it was in the game until i read it hear and told him. He was pretty excited although he hopes they didn't screw anything up with it. Can anyone give some more info on what it says and how it looks in the game?! Quote
Zip N' Dots Posted December 4, 2006 Report Posted December 4, 2006 I love the idea (great run of beer commercials) but ... the Zippers were based on a product by the B.F.

ziptrumpet87 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Posted December 4, 2006 saddest part of the error is that the Zip nickname history is on gozips.com and uakron.edu. Quote
Zip N' Dots Posted December 4, 2006 Report Posted December 4, 2006 saddest part of the error is that the Zip nickname history is on gozips.com and uakron.edu. I think they should get them remade. that is just unacceptable!Waddell and crew would not have let that happen! Quote
zip81 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Posted December 4, 2006 While we're changing things...it was a boot...not a shoe.A boot with a zipper going up the front.Just a little marketing advice:That's a lot of stuff to read on the back of the shirt. Quote

It just basically lists "Student Section: AK-Rowdies"...and with the game's chant creator you can easily make some of the chants we do...pretty cool stuff Quote
Zip N' Dots Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 AK-Zips Help me with this one - Could our athletics department get sued by Bud Light for using their campaign without permission? Or could Coors Light come after us for using a competitors campaign when they are the athletics sponsor? Quote

Or could Coors Light come after us for using a competitors campaign when they are the athletics sponsor?you just assume as a lawyer i would know?! I deal with real estate not trademark and copyrights. i have no idea. i don't think anyone could be sued though. the only thing they should sue for is an embarrasment to their slogan.. haha Quote
ZachTheZip Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 We could claim it is a parody, which is protected under the first ammendment should they decide to sue. They won't sue, though, because whenever someone reads the back of the shirt the first thing they think of is Bud Lite which is free advertising for them. Quote

I am going to have to call on Marcia Clark to give me the low down dirty shame.I was just curious on your thoughts. I work for a local Cleveland Brewery Great Lakes which is going to be home to the new brew 'The Cleveland Steamer', but anyways, when I saw that I was shocked and miffed by the lack of 'genius' being shown by the athletic department to sign off on that crap, because that's all it is is crap on a stick, well, shirt.

You show a link that shows that BF Goodrich, NOT Goodyear which is on the back of the shirt, was the designer of the overshoe. So you DIDN'T get it right! And AK-Zips, I agree with Zip N' Dots on this one. You sound kind of flaming, I am sure you would enjoy giving a good tea-bag ever now and then Quote
