On the front of the shorts waistband reads EMAW which stands for ‘Every Man A Wildcat’. This idea came from looking at old photo of K-State home games in Ahearn Field House.
"We have this photo in the deck of a game from the late '70s when Rolando was there and there was this great 'Every Man a Wildcat' banner up in Ahearn. I couldn't believe it went back that far. We recreated that banner for the read on the (shorts)…just trying to bring those story details into the retros to add some more layers to it." - Jason Wright Nike Designer
