<p>So, true…everyone looks good in Crimson!!!</p>
<p>One of the bennies of having attractive team colors…your spirit-wear will get chosen for ads!!</p>
<p>But, really, ever since Saban arrived at Bama, something changed. He got the biggest role of all the coaches in The Blind Side.</p>
<p>Oh my…Auburn is really going to have an inferiority complex…</p>
<p>Brooks Brothers put the AU logo on a “chevron pattern” that looks like HOUNDSTOOTH if you don’t look close enough!!!</p>

<p>They have the Alabama shirts on the Old Navy website for $19.94. Not sure if they are the same one on the commercial.</p>
<p>My MIL came over for dinner tonight and one of the first things she asked was if we’ve seen the Old Navy commercial. She was so mad because she went there expecting to find Bama gear. Alas, just UH gear. If you’re a Bama fan it makes perfect sense that every store would carry our stuff. After all, we must headline the commercial for a reason… Roll Tide Roll!</p>
<p>KOhl’s has a lot of Alabama gear: </p>

<p>As you can see, the Alabama gear comes first, and it’s all on sale. The tees are now only $14.99, and I can personally attest that they are well made. :D</p>

<p>(Why we’ve named the color “Cardinal” is beyond me. This isn’t U of Louisville we’re talkin’ 'bout here!)</p>
<p>The Aubs are already protesting it. they have a facebook page boycotting all Old Navy stores. It is quite sad. If you have a chance search for it</p>
<p>Major faux pas on the Brooks Brother’s Auburn tie! LOL!</p>
<p>Oops, meant AL, not Dad, in my linky response. So sorry!!!</p>
<p>To tell the truth, I don’t blame the Auburn fans for being upset. I would be, too, if I were they. I think the first cardinal rule of marketing should be: Don’t p*ss off customers (or potential customers). Old Navy could have promoted Bama gear without dissing Auburn. It’s one thing for a marketer to diss a competitor. It’s another thing for a marketer to diss potential customers. Baaaaaaad move, IMHO.</p>
<p>OTOH, it’s a very funny commercial. ;)</p>
<p>Whoever is Old Navy’s new “Superfan Nation” marketing guru is an imbecil. Agree with LadyDi’s comments. Looks like Old Navy needs some spell checkers, too, with their “Lets Go USC” T-shirt.</p>
