New uniforms usher in era of tradition, simplicity
Nobody wields more control over the image of Rice athletics than me. This much is true.
Okay, that may not be true. In fact, it’s blatantly self-promoting, egotistical and, without a doubt, false. That being said, and as the sweet new football uniforms indicate, I think my voice carries some weight among the Rice faithful.
As the half-dozen of you campus-wide who actually read my garbage will recall, I wrote a column last March calling for an overhaul of the image of Rice athletics (“Sammy, Owl logos need quick and drastic makeover,” March 23, 2007). To refresh your memory, I blasted the Sammy costume, I called for the gothic “R” to be the unifying logo across all sports, and I begged for the expulsion of yellow from all things Rice. Guess what? I got all of it.
Alright, not quite all of it
