You could paint a school bus with a couple cans. No near as obscene as paying a coach 7 million

I'm guessing Nike paid for the paint?

Everything LSU does is first class.

Important point in the article is that LSU has turned down many alternate designs in the past.

1 gallon is enough to cover a truck

I’m guessing we only had to buy like 3.

The whole thing is dumb. First, we have the greatest uniforms in college football, but we're wasting money and resources on gimmicks. Second, during pregame, the guys will be more focused on the uniforms than their opponent. They need to be 100% focused on Moo State.

If they're gonna do something stupid like this, then do it against Rice. Frick Nike.

How many old baws in the hood are asking for this paint for their rides today?

They’ll be showing up Monday and asking. They’ll also be driving away unhappy when they hear the starting price of $6k.

The whole combo looks stupid and ordinary, but with sparkly, gay helmets.

Let me see. Who doesn't do this crap? Oh, I know - Alabama. They focus 100% on football, not how they look.

Cost for LSU = $0
Nike uses them to push their products.

Like car paint. 1 gallon goes a long long way.



I'd be surprised if it took more than 2 gallons got the whole team.

If we lose to MSU because of the uniforms, fire everyone.

If we lose you know people will blame the uniform and want to burn it.
