tesmusic Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think they changed slightly year to year. Looking back it seems you're kinda right about them. They used the same jackets with different gauntlets. Strange how they made such a big difference in uniform in my memory though, especially for 03-04. 03 was mostly green with white gauntlets. 04 was the same jacket/pants combo with red accented gauntlets. 05 was new jackets, aussies, and guantlets with silver half fleurs. Regardless, that many changes just sticks out in my mind simply due to the amount of financial trouble Madison had to dig themselves out of from 07 onward. 06 especially was a headscratcher. Yes I think this is correct. I think 2006 or 2007 was the first year of the "playing and moving non-judged warmup timed with announcer". Madison started out the season concluding that opening section by turning towards the backfield, but sometime midseason made the very good choice of making it part of the judged program and turning towards the audience. It's one of my favorite openings they've ever done, especially with all the singing. Just one of those "I have no idea how this is cool, but it definitely is" things. That was an Alanis Morissette tune too! 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 A new uniform for every season since Salas came in means a lot of expenses... Do you know this for a fact or are you simply making an assumption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedyweidenthal Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The uniform was the same from 2010-2011 and mostly the same from 2008-2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroBen Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Just to correct....that would be Robert W. Smith. That's what I get for posting after midnight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NR_Ohiobando Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Do you know this for a fact or are you simply making an assumption? It depends on what your interpretation of "expenses" are, but yes I feel like any sort of uniform addition year-to-year is going to cost you some amount of money. I suppose I'm also assuming they actually had to pay for them and it wasn't covered via sponsorship deal or something. Though it should be noted I'm fairly cheap and would probably keep the same uniforms for a long time before moving on, so these changes just seem unnecessary to me especially. 03 was brand new everything 04 had new gauntlets 05 had new jackets, gauntlets, and hats 06 had brand new everything So 2 brand new sets, 3 different jackets, and 4 different gauntlets.

Well actually they did have a sponsorship deal...named Michael Cesario and FJM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NR_Ohiobando Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Well actually they did have a sponsorship deal...named Michael Cesario and FJM. Well considering all the financial troubles they were in during 06-07, was it really a deal? Or did they "pay" for the uniforms by paying Cesario and Salas? I honestly don't know. But I'd be extremely hesitant to say that they got those unis for "free" through a sponsorship deal. Someone was getting paid somewhere. That financial trouble didn't just appear out of thin air.

The uniforms weren't the money drain, not hardly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamMan Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I heard stories about the financial troubles in 06 & 06 under this regime...& lets just say that there was some extravagance that was disturbing & disgusting. I will leave it at that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it unfair for you to suggest that Cesario and/or Salas were being "paid" for the uniforms. What do you base your accusation on? Facts or baseless DCP conjecture?
