Football to Debut Aggie Ring Cleat on Saturday

Adidas came to us with the concept of doing an Aggie Ring commemorative cleat that we would wear for senior day. We thought it was a great idea to showcase one, our seniors on the team, and two, honor the academic side and the Aggie Ring itself.

The shoes are obviously very cool in and of themselves. But the fact that the ring crest shoelace jewel gets to be worn by seniors only is certainly a pride moment for those seniors--that one, they have it on their hand, but also that they obviously have a piece on the field that shows, hey, I'm a senior and I really attained something here.

I think the players are going to think it's awesome because no one's ever done this before. You can't go to the store and buy this. So any time you can do that for the kids, that's what they like. It's something you can't get. It's new. It's special. It's unique. They'll be excited to put them on and play well in them.
