Went looking on the Clemson website for information about our game. Saw an article that they are having miliary appreciation day when they play us. I thought that was great they are doing this.

They are selling t-shirts commemorating the game and doing the "sea of orange". I thought it was typical school spirit stuff.

When I read further down the article, I was really touched about how they designed the shirt.

I don't buy opposing team stuff but this I might make an exception.

I think I'll send a note of thanks for including the Ags in their appreciation!

Nice idea. They used the wrong ATM logo though.

Who pissed in your cheerios.

I think this is great.

I'm not saying it's not a nice gesture, just pointing out they used the wrong logo.

OK, how can we get one online?

You can order it online. I believe these are the folks who are doing the screen printing:

This was a great gesture. Um, help a guy out of touch...what is the right logo?

And gig 'em.

Clemson Head Football Coach Tommy Bowden said "We talk about our game as a war, however, the real war is thousands of miles away from Clemson. Clemson has a rich military heritage along with the citizens of the State of South Carolina and anything that our team or myself can do to help raise the moral of our soldiers, then we are all for joining in the cause".

is coach tommy trying to raise the "moral" or the "morale" of the soldiers??

He should add that included in the rich military tradition of the citizens of South Carolina are a few cannon shots at Fort Sumter.

BTW, I like the shirt - it's cool

The order link is broken

The other link will allow you to order.

I got mine!!!

That's the only A&M logo I like.

Clemson U. is all about SOLID ORANGE, but I do wish they ought to make the shirt in both colors since it's for a cause, not just team merchandise.

I guess I need a lesson in the correct A&M logo because it looks like the right one to me.

Yeah they need to. I would buy that shirt if it were in maroon and I am not even going to the game.

Actually it's funny that Clemson can pick the right logo when we often can't. Good Bull.

Yeah, what's the logo supposed to be? The logo pictured is the only one I know...

Fixed the link. It should work now. Thanks!

oh great another logo debate in the making. Great shirt by the way.

OSU fans gave up their colors for Red, white, and blue. I wouldn't mind having that shirt. I wouldn't wear it out to public for the fear someone might assoc. me with the sips

I think this is a great idea. I wish we were doing the same on September 17th. A support of our all our troops overseas. Maybe choose a neutral color for the game so both sides can join in or use both colors.

I agree with Reg. That is the only logo I like. Sometimes it cracks me up we talk about tradition and then we stop using our long standing logo.

Good bull with Clemson. They were a great school to schedule.

I bought it and I'm not going.

I have too many maroon shirts now anyway. They are their own wash load as it is.

I'm somewhat concerned about being taken as a sip, but if they do, I'll simply correct them.

BTW, while we're discussing logos, how about their version of our maroon.

technically this is the correct logo (with or w/o the bevels):

Plans are in the works to possibly print a maroon version in College Station. Detail is on the thread below:

I'll hold off on buying mine until we know the fate of the maroon ones.

Frisco Aggie--You HAVE got to be kidding. I apologize to all the Clemson fans who had to read that garbage.
Great idea and it will be well supported by anyone with half a brain (that leaves you know who out).

Good bull.

They didnt have to mention us on their gameday shirt.

I think I'll buy one.

And as much as I love all this warm fuzzy stuff I keep reading between Clemson and A&M...I sure hope we BTHOC come Sept 3!

Wow, that's awesome... I love it.

I bought one. I'm still waiting. You can read my reasons above.

Purchased.

I couldnt do it online for some reason...but I called and got it ordered.

The lady told me that they should arrive tomorrow, and ship within 1-2 days.
