Made in USA by Russell Athletic, Wazzu only wore this model ONCE. Saturday, September 30, 2006 was a beautiful sunny late afternoon and a national TV broadcast on TBS. WSU hosted the highly ranked USC Trojans. I was there! After sitting in storage at the school, I am the only owner of this RARE gem worn by Joe Eppelle. Yes, game worn / used.
Nearing the end of their run as a major college uniform supplier, Russell crafted this wild alternate look to compete with what Nike was doing. It was a showcase uniform Russell provided WSU. The Cougs must not have been into the look. Maybe it was the feel. Russell promoted these as super tight-fitting, ultra modern fabric. WSU went with Nike a couple years later.
