uniformed
Today the photographers of WYFF came together to unite under a common goal: Fashion!
As part of a promotion campaign for our Friday night football show, our (totally rad)station GM inked a deal with local outdoor clothier, Oobe, setting us up with some new station logo'd clothes.
Now, I was content with the visits by the ice cream truck this summer, but he really stepped up his generosity by giving us TEN SHIRTS (!!!) to add to our wardrobe.
Honestly, many of us had never heard of Oobe before this whole thing began. But, now the word is muttered about 25 times a day around our station - especially by the photogs.
Getting our clothes today was great, but the best part was few months back - when the Oobe folks came in for our fittings. You should've seen the photog staff, as we all gathered to plan-out our styles and colors.
Everyone in the station got something to wear, but field crews were them most 'outfitted'. Here's a quick sampling of some of the various colors we had to choose from:
Of course, now that we have ten shirts (and new vests, fleeces, and jackets), we're kinda expected to wear them to work every day - sorta like uniforms. But, I don't really care, man. I got some merlot golf shirts and a futuristic space jacket. I'm ready to go!
[But for the record: I didn't get anything in pumpkin or sage.]

"Dude, do you think that this shirt looks good on me?"
"Naw man, with your complexion, you're more of an 'autumn'. I think the pumpkin short-sleeved shirt would look much better than seamist green."
"Thanks man. You look great in eggshell, by the way."

That is some bomb ass photography!
I don't have the words to describe what a sweet deal that is. You guys should pose for the cover of News Hound magazine in your new duds. The ladies likey the gear with T.V. Station logos on them.
Could we see some close-ups of that new swag?
Your blog is the best (totally rad).
Ha, awesome photos. You guys are so lucky. All we got was one tshirt with a crappy screenprint on it. I'd give anything for logo wear!! It makes deciding what to wear in the morning so much easier.
We had logo polos and button-ups in B'ham (which was the mkt standard). At first, you think, "I have to wear this everyday?", but then you realize when you wake up late and have 5 minutes to be at work it's really nice to grab a shirt and jeans and not think about it.
Just keep a spare shirt in your car in case you go out somewhere that you don't won't to be identified.
Cool, I'm still wearin' logos from my past two stations to work. If they have a problem I tell them "you can get me new shirts like these guys did if you want". I got a new one that day.

Isn't this because photogs tend to be more poorly dressed than other station employees? Just kidding. Be glad they don't put a name patch on those things too.
I agree, photogs tend to be the worst dressed - on many occasions, me being one of them.
But, now we're in a whole new game.
We're dapper. Our science is tight. People have even mistaken me and Cooper for Notorious BIG and Puffy from that Hypnotize video.
Oh! I forgot to mention that, as of today, two photog polo shirts have some torn threading, and one photog spilled something called "rooster sauce" all down the front of his shirt.
Goodtimes.
OK, Robot, you've had some of the most hi-larious stuff on the 'Net for some time now (as I propped up in my pathetic li'l blog)...
...but White Balance Blue? This photog completely lost it in the edit bay.
F'n genius, that is!
The thrill is right, White Balance Blue is a stroke of genius!
As for the schwag-wear...I'm all for freebies but I don't dig being forced to wear the crap. Maybe it's an aversion to uniforms from my Navy days, maybe I just don't like sportin' a billboard, maybe I'm only about halfway fly even for a white guy. Whatever the case, I've long dispersed my logowear through a seasonal program I call 're-gifting'. Now all the cousins include me on their list...
