Now open on Johnston at Legacy. Good selection of just FDL, Louisiana, or Ragin Cajun gear. Still with the UL Lafayette sweatshirts and various things...overall, those products are somewhat in the minority...

Nevermind, found it!!
Anyone know if this hoodie CMD was wearing at practice the other day is available anywhere?
I see they still discriminate against us fat boys. Why no 3x? Fat boys need gear too.
I thought this would be the logical location.Quote:

The items being sold are still the same more or less, but the interface is different of course. I'm sure as they'll be adding items as they go
At the store level, 60/40 new. Remove the old UL Lafayette sweat shirts, more like 75/25 new...Quote:

If you're not gonna call it Vermilion, at least call it red.

One would think the online stores would be more similar. Maybe B&N site is still being updated? ... https://www.fanatics.com/college/lou...069-2614500640
Its just a matter of time till it degenerates into a reenactment of what Ive seen twice at Albertsons on Johnston.Quote:

Is it really the wrong color or just not labeled properly?
Louisiana's true color "Vermilion" has been ignored/avoided since the 1950's due to higher manufacturing costs.Quote:

understood, thanks.
But are they selling red and calling it cardinal or are they actually selling cardinal colored items?
Can you expand on the manufacturing costs? I did not know that.Quote:

I'm sorry but the colors Louisiana has consistently used ever since I can remember (almost 50 years) are red, white and black.
Those are the colors of my university . . .
I just hate that hot-wheels logo. Someone make it go away
They are calling it "cardinal." (ex. "black" hoodies, "white" hoodies, "cardinal" hoodies).Quote:

Heckfire, we don't yell "vermilion" and "white" back-and-forth at each other; its "red" and "white."
And not being in the textile business, I can still see where getting vermilion colored garments as opposed to red colored garments is just gonna be more expensive.
But don't call it "cardinal."
It's insulting.
Your 50 year memory is defective because black is a post 2000's implementation.Quote:

Its no coincidence, black is the cheapest to manufacture. Vermilion among the most expensive, historically at least.
Again, not having much knowledge of the textile industry, but red is a primary color.Quote:

Turbine, care to critique my assessment?
My memory is in fact defective as a result of occurrances which have transpired over the 50 years, especially the last one.Quote:

Correct. Also the smaller the production run the more expensive it becomes.Quote:

Fire red and tomato red are close.
