I think it is because the sports teams have been wearing red for awhile, so some people at JSU (fans, alumni, and supports) have gotten use to it. I bet there was plenty of people that did not like the introduction of the red when it first got introduce. I believe this JSU President is new and was not chosen by people associated with JSU because the state does things differently in Mississippi.What's so controversial about a Prez sending out a 2 paragraph email asking athletics to please wear our actual school colors for over a century ? The colors proudly worn buy several NFL Hofers & many other College HOfers.
Does the President have the right stop the red, yes but he is going to have to deal with the blow back from some people that like the red. It will be interesting to see if he is going to pull the red apparel from the bookstore and other places. To me he should of just sent out a directive that there will be no new orders of JSU Red Apparel or athletic wear\uniforms and thus letting license holders sell out their red apparel inventory.
