The Richards Group is trying on a new pair of skivvies, even as one of its dot-com clients slips out the back door.

The Dallas agency last week was selected to manage consumer advertising for the 149-year-old Fruitof the Loom brand. The account, which includes media buying duties, is estimated at $15-20 million.

Other finalists for the Bowling Green, Ky., maker of undergarments and activewear were Campbell Mithun of Minneapolis and Creative Alliance in Louisville, Ky.

Fruit of the Loom’s last agency of record, Warwick Baker O’Neill in New York, resigned the account at the beginning of the year after the client said it would reorganize under Chapter 11.
