Title: "Wabash" on jerseys instead of "EMAW" explained
Post by: kougar24 on April 05, 2011, 08:38:50 PM: Apparently it's the players' fault. :dunno:

NDP: And you guys are also using the gel bands again in the game shorts?

Nakel: Yeah, and that’s been a staple for our shorts for awhile now. We’re looking at how we can evolve that in the future. It’s lighter weight than just turning and stitching the fabric, and the gel helps keep your shorts up and your uniform tucked in. We’re also looking at ways now to shave some more weight out of it, and also add more details and some identity to the inside of the shorts. With all of these details designed into the back of our jerseys, whether it’s saying or just graphics that are unique to the team, we’re starting to look at how we can incorporate some of those things into the shorts to help inspire the players when they see them in the locker room. Kansas State is a perfect example of something that is unique to them with “Wabash.”

Bush: Originally we had a phrase that the student section says, and then when the coach and players saw the jersey, they mentioned that they have a word that they say amongst eachother just when they see eachother on campus. “Wabash.” Those kinds of insights that we get from the players and coaches really help us when we design, and then, the fans will get it.

Nakel: It’s nonsense to most people, but to them, that’s great.

NDP: What does it even mean?

Bush: It’s almost like how Oregon’s Football team says “Win the day.” That’s just their word that they all know to get them excited. “Wabash.”
