Black is just a stock color adidas uses for a variety of styles including those ZNE jackets which are really great quality. Their 'blue' isn't close to our navy so that's why you see generic colors like black and grey.

I think it had to do with St Joseph’s grabbing SJU before us, and we didn’t want any overlap/confusion. We got some anyway at Mike Anderson’s introductory press conference.

That is one story. The he other one was with the nickname change it was decided to rebrand the logo and mascot at the same time.

What is the real story
