Hi Guest, we are working on updating the site servers and software. We're also 'forcing' everyone to read and agree to our site privacy policy and terms of service. There are no significant changes to either of these but the terms page does clarify a few things that are mostly in the legalese. You can just click the checkbox for both and continue using the site as usual! We'll update you more on the site upgrades VERY soon! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS for supporting the site and being an active participant!
Re: Boycott Gillette
First of all, don't blame Gillette. Whether or not someone has an officially licensed piece of merchandise is 100% up to two entities...The University of Alabama and the company we hire to handle our licensing rights. Gillette has either likely asked for and is awaiting permission to use Bama's logo or has asked for and been denied the rights to use our logo for a myriad of reasons...mostly financial in nature.
My guess is that they are awaiting approval to use the logo.
Unless or until you know why they don't have a Bama razor, you should tread lightly when suggesting a Boycott of a company.

:biggrin:
This could be an entirely new offseason topic rather than white shoes, crimson pants, the BDS turf; a new poll for which razor you prefer, I can see it all now.

The travesty. Another anti-Bama conspiracy, no doubt.
How are we going to survive life without the Bockrath elephant on our razorblades?

Re: Boycott Gillette
Not all companies that sell NCAA officially licensed products are going to request the logos of all the schools. A national corporation such as Gillette is likely going to create products for perhaps the top 50 or so programs ranked by their share of licensed product sales. I'm quite sure that Alabama is in the top 50, so it is likely, as you stated, that Gillette has made the request and is just waiting.
I wouldn't say it is 100% up to them. It is 100% up to them iff that someone first requests the use of the licensed logo and is willing to pay the required price for its use. At that point, the decision is theirs.

The company could just be "testing the waters", so to speak, to see if the idea will float before going all in. :wink:

It could be marketed to those most in need. Arkansas to shave their mullets, UF to shave their wimpy goatees, ohio state to shave their women's back hair, Tenn to shave their women's chest hair, and UGA to shave that hairy mongrel on the sidelines.

I remember my 1st semester at UA in my welcome kit was a UA razor with disposable heads. I lost it though. I use a shick quattro, I get a great shave with it.
Re: Boycott Gillette
Thats it? A tiny logo? I liken it to Kansas' stadium upgrade.

I use the Mach III as well and I don't care if there is a Bama version or not. Even if they made one I wouldn't buy it, because i already have a razor.
I have to agree. It is a bit silly to have everything you own with Alabama colors and logo on them. I should be shot for buying a blue and white toothbrush.
As long as it ain't blue and arnge, you're okay with me BT.I have to agree. It is a bit silly to have everything you own with Alabama colors and logo on them. I should be shot for buying a blue and white toothbrush.
I had you figured for a closet Kentucky fan. For shame for shame.I have to agree. It is a bit silly to have everything you own with Alabama colors and logo on them. I should be shot for buying a blue and white toothbrush.
Re: Boycott Gillette
Not to belabor the point but I believe that your point goes without saying with regard to my post. Obviously if someone doesn't request the licensing rights then all posts discussing the actions needed to attain the rights are then moot. I was taking the stance that they have requested and it now lies in the hands of our licensing entity. I forget who it is, but it used to be a company out of Atlanta. Years ago I actually dealt directly with our marketing department...man have things changed!
that should go double for me. i have 2 toothbrushes (one electric and one regular) both are blue and whiteI have to agree. It is a bit silly to have everything you own with Alabama colors and logo on them. I should be shot for buying a blue and white toothbrush.
