Aeropostale...

They also did UConn's football jerseys the first season at Rentschler Field before Nike took over.

The logo on the uniforms is Aeropostale. They, Aeropostale had there logo on UConn's football uniform a few years ago. It's pretty funny with all the logos on uniforms now that really very few of those companies actually make the uniforms. Most use an athletic uniform company to make the uniform and have them put the "sponsor" logo on it.

Aeropostale? As in the company that is very similar to Abercrombie and The Gap? Thats very strange. Also, the Tulane football team wore Russell this season, is there any type of guidelines as far as different teams of the same school wearing different companies?

Not really...usually, it's got a lot to do with the sneaker endorsement contracts signed by the coaches...

Example: Virginia Tech wears Nike for football, but wears adidas for basketball.

Very true - it has really been only the last 7-8 years or so that the big shoe manufacturers have gone in for the "all sports deal" with a school in place of the individual shoe deals with the coaches. Typically the "all sports deals" are either with a school who is perennially in the top 25 in both football and men's basketball, or with a school who is considered "elite" in one sport or the other (like Kentucky for men's basketball or USC for football).

Aeropostale is a mall-based specialty retailer of casual apparel for young people. The fact that they are making NCAA Div I basketball uniforms is a little strange. Whats next, J Crew is going to make the jerseys for Florida State football?

USF uses SportsBell (or BellSports) for football and Nike for B-Ball

Yes, USF does use Sports Belle. They used to be big in 1A football until they became the uniform maker for Adidas. Then, most of the teams that used Sports Belle became Adidas schools and stuck with Adidas even after they quit getting uniforms made by Sports Belle.

Have you ever watched lacrosse? It's pretty exciting.

Yeah, it is pretty exciting. Doesn't mean it isn't played exclusively by snooty white guys.

Is the indoor version considered a sham, kind of the way indoor soccer is?

They've had a deal with the Big East for a while. They don't make any uniforms but they make Big East logo branded jackets and sweatshirts and stuff.

Indoor lacrosse is pretty fun to watch. Not nearly as big of a sham as indoor soccer.

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

They're also a sponsor of the Sun Belt Conference.

Depends I guess. Here in Canada, field lacrosse is quite secondary.

Indoor lacrosse at the ACC regularly attracts 16-17k, and the Pepsi Centre in Denver is sold out for most NLL games. I can tell ya the players are far from snooty considering they are cops, teachers, students etc.

The MLL...well I think 3-5k is avg...and the games are quite boring.
