We should all hope the socks are made by Twin-City Knitting in Conover.

Some of the ownership are App alums, and though the tube socks are imported from China, the sports socks such as what the baseball team would wear are mostly made in Catawba County with local employees from what I have been told.

If that is the case Twin- City should be the only place we buy them. US company and alum is icing on the cake.

I would tend to agree. Like furniture, and gloves, very little hosiery in left in North Carolina. I think it good policy to support what is left of the industry.

I like the grey but I do not like "App State". App State in any form is just plain bad. Having said that, I don't mind the black and gold hat.

The gray with the white pants is OK - the others are just ugly, as someone said earlier, they look like bad softball uniforms - the hat is terrible

The deal Cobb made with Nike while good for football and basketball did very little for baseball and I would assume other sports as well. Outside of a couple of uniforms they didnt get much equipment. Remember the coat fundraiser we had a few years ago? Rawlings gave us a deal that provides the team with a bunch of clothes/equipment that Nike wouldnt give them so its a no brainer. Its no secret that Cobb didnt take care of the diamond Apps like they deserve so Jones went out and did what he had to do.

I'm just not a fan of shortening our name. I especially don't care for it in print.. Just my preference. I don' t cringe when I hear it unlike when the name is mis-pronounced.

I assume you are fine with App St?

Meh. Like I said, I prefer that it not be shortened.

Hmmm... So, AppSt94 prefers Appalachian not be called App St. Got it.

Touché. I didn't say I did n't like it. I said It was not my preference to hear it shortened. The screen name was created years ago when the world looked
different through my eyes.

That's funny, because it has taken a few years for App to grow on me, and now I like it.

I get it, personal preference. I think it's a marketing thing though. We moved away from ASU because there are so many. On ESPN, we're "APP" on the scoreboard, not "ASU." There's more value in being the only "App" than the "not Arizona State." "App State" is a brand name that we can market. You could argue that "Appalachian" is too, but with us having a particular pronunciation of the word that the majority of the country doesn't follow, it could make it more difficult to brand/market.

For my personal preference, I agree with you. However, marketing wise, having our sports teams be marketed as "App State" makes sense and cents.

I like the font. Now if they were using Comic Sans I would have a problem.

Well if we all liked the same thing there would only be one flavor of ice cream.

As long as it is vanilla or maybe butter pecan I could live with that.

Agreed. Not a fan of the faux-back unis.
