[Husker] Fw: Re: Alternate Unis

[Skip Burrell]

Oh it's definitely for financial reasons, mostly for the Sports Apparel 
company (Nike, Addidas, etc.)  They supply a few hundred uniforms to the 
University teams for free, so that thousands of fans will buy their 
jerseys at premium prices. If they can convince the University that 
alternate uniforms are cool, then fans that like variety will buy more 
than one style of jersey.

It's marketing genius!
