The Maudfather Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 UA and Nike have much better alternates, but they take the base uniforms and muck them up. Not for any team with an established, classic look. Exactly. See Michigan or Tennessee. Quote Link to comment

Pretty sure the smokey grey is related to the smokey mountains and want to say it was some benefit or respect to the firefighters in the mountains. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Word is a deal with Adidas is nearly done. Reports are it's in the 10 year, $100M range. 2 Quote Link to comment

For being the "flagship" program that so many in these types of threads tout us to be, Adidas really does treat us like the red-headed step child. I take that back, looking through the Forbes article, it looks like we would be at number 5 on that list. Please excuse my previous error. Quote Link to comment

In 2014, adidas signed Nebraska for $2.62M, Kansas for $6.74, and Texas A&M for $7.7M. Their new contracts, next year and 2022 respectively, will be much higher than ours again. Quote Link to comment
Fru Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Dang. I've been hoping they'd drop Adidas for as long as I can remember. I get that it's a more popular brand now, but man, growing up Adidas just had the absolute worst stuff ever. It's like I have a mental block against them. Quote Link to comment
