Re: Michigan Tech 17-18 Preseason - MacNaughton, Broadmoor... What's this year bringi
I'm glad they used the new logo on the front. (Ok now I'll duct the firestorm.)
Worst case -everyone hates the new logo on the hockey jerseys because they just want script "Huskies" on the front forever and ever. So the team wears them one time, they are then gone forever, and the hate dies off by the next home series.
Best case - they actually get some positive comments from the current students and younger fans, and the next home jersey they design has this logo on the front. Don't worry die-hards, we'll still have TWO jerseys (cream and gold) with "Huskies" on the front.
I didn't expect to see the gold in the camo design, but I think that is pretty cool as well. I don't recall seeing any college team do their school colors in the camo. From a rules stand point, I have to imagine we'll see NMU wearing white at Tech. I can't imagine that camo jersey design passes as a "light" color.
From a cost standpoint, as I guessed they would, Tech went ultra-low cost route (I won't call them cheap because no jerseys are) with all sublimated / screened construction. However I get it. Tech isn't going to spend $175-$200 per jersey on something they will use once and also want to be a vehicle to raise funds for charity. I'm guessing with the minimum bid set at $60, Tech's cost was about $60 each for them. So any bid over the minimum is going to charity. I would hope Tech gets at least $100 each for them on average.
Ok so... who wants to be a bidder on my behalf next Friday if necessary? Shoot me an email (info@johnsonsjerseys.net) if you plan to attend and would be willing to bid for me. I'm going to reach out to the athletics department and find out how firm they really are on their "must be present to bid" policy.
Thanks,
Ryan
