jmfb Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Even at the High SChool level I have friends that have gone to the modern unique style sublimated uniforms and then decaled their helmets up with something big, bold and different In pretty much every case, when they promoted it and made a big deal out of it, their numbers often times improved significantly Sounds silly, but it's true. It shouldn't be like that, but it is Now its custom gloves, spats and even socks That's the way it is in 2015 Quote Link to comment
TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Adidas owns soccer though. R Madrid, Bayern Munich, CHelsea, Manchester United, Lionel Messi, Gareth Bale, FIFA, UEFA... Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I actually like Adidas' golf apparel as well as most of their shoes. I'd be interested to know the opinions of people if the labels on the designs from Nike and Adidas were switched if they'd be singing the same song. Quote Link to comment

Who cares if they own soccer, water polo, titleywinks or kayaking? The NU kids playing football probably dont know or care who Bayern Munchen is When they were kids and had to choose between being a foot fairy and playing football- they did the right thing and decided to play football Quote Link to comment
Sargon Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Adidas is getting crushed in the market by Nike and UA because Nike and UA beat them in every way. It would be a big mistake should NU re-up with Adidas. UA founder CEO had a pittance in sales in 1999. Today his estimated net worth is $3.5 billion. A seemingly impossible ascent (outside of silicon valley/sf tech.) Quote Link to comment

I hope you aren't implying a REALLY good name is what takes a guy from 10 bucks to 3.5 billion in 16 years. I know you don't think that. But I'll be rude as I am from time to time (lulz) and point out that the German brass executive talent compared to Kevin Plank and his team....is THE one reason why UA is killing it and Adidas is flailing failing.

teachercd Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 As a person that is in schools all day, UA is cool...Nike is sort of cool and Adidas is about as cool as pizza sauce right out of the oven, when you take that fast bite and burn the roof of your mouth. Even UA shoes have become cool, which, no one thought could happen. UA has not made a wrong move (I am not a fan of the MD football Unis BUT it gets people talking) 1 Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Personally I like Adidas. I bought a brand new pair of Stan Smith tennis shoes last year off of their web site. White with green strips just like I had in 1983. Yet with that being said I understand the lure of UA or the swoosh. I would go with UA personally. Oh, and just because Adidas isn't number one in American football doesn't mean futbal is not a money maker for them. Man you guys sound like Americans 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I've been a Nike guy for a long time so that would work but UA gets after the uniforms. Because of the red/black/white combos, I've always thought Texas Tech's unis are sweet. Not necessarily this one exactly, but along these lines. Quote Link to comment
Rosenblatt Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'd really like to see us go Nike. Between duct tape numbers and the whole made in march thing, Adidas just...isn't cutting it for me. Quote Link to comment
