If you didn’t read TCU Athletic Director Chris Del Conte’s chat from Monday afternoon, you should go and check it out. Here are a couple of highlights I thought I would pass along.
First is this piece of information on an area to honor former TCU greats.
Mike (Irving): Is there a plan of some way to honor past TCU greats with statues or a ring of honor type thing when the stadium renovations are complete?
Chris Del Conte: Great question. We've engaged Nike and HKS to help identify spaces in and around the stadium to honor our TCU greats.
I think this is an outstanding idea. I’ve thought TCU has needed statues or a ring of honor in the stadium or something to commemorate former Frog greats like Sammy Baugh, Davey O’Brien, L.T., etc… Kind of confused as to why Nike would be involved with that, but maybe this second bit of information explains it a little more…
Kyle (Seattle): Can you describe in any more detail Nike's branding involvement around campus?
Chris Del Conte: We've engaged Nike to do an overall branding of our product. We expect to have it unveiled in time for the 2012 season.
I also cannot wait to see how this turns out. I’ve said it before, but having a good relationship with Nike is nothing but a positive for TCU.

Here are a couple of new stories concerning jerseys and uniforms from Tuesday that I thought I would pass along.
First off, the Washington Wizards unveiled their new home and away uniforms for the 2011 season.
The home uniform is white and says “wizards” in lowercase navy type. The road jersey is red and says “Washington” in white — again, lower case.
The jerseys include horizontal stripes, like Bullets jerseys of old.
The shorts have a star on the side and a “dc” logo — yup, lowercase. And apparently there is a “W” somewhere, though models John Wall and Jordan Crawford were unable to find it.
I love the changes! I was a fan of the old Bullets uniforms, so I am glad they decided to go back to the red, white, and blue. I wish they were able to change their name back, the “Wizard” mascot is super lame.
And in college football, one of those teams that have always had a tradition uniform is finally changing things up, at least for one game. InsideSoCal.com reports that USC will wear an alternate uniform for their game against UCLA this season.
OK, we have details on the alternate uniform emerging for the UCLA game. Ready?
It currently looks like USC will wear cardinal jerseys, cardinal pants and a black helmet.
This sounds like the ugliest uniform in USC history. Or something Oregon would wear. Which is what Lane Kiffin wants.
Black helmets? Sounds bad, but I will wait until I see them to judge.

It is very interesting looking to say the least…

As new college football uniforms continue to be unveiled, Angry Trey’s blog will try to keep you up to date. Today’s new uniform comes from Arizona State…
Not a big fan of these, especially the black ones. I’m not sure what it is, but I am not feeling them.
