gbr93 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) I couldn't find where we discussed Adidas and changing brands so I just started this thread. I'm really glad we have stayed with Adidas so far and didn't get caught up in everyone jumping ship to Nike or Under Armour. Now we are one of their flagship schools, if not the biggest, and they are really starting to re-assert themselves at the top. I hope they can keep this momentum going, for recruiting sake. edit: can't get the image to show in this post, so I included the address to it.

The Maudfather Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That doesn't change the fact that their apparel is second rate and they keep churning out horrible tire tread jerseys. Would still love to see us go to Nike or UA. 3 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 what i've never understood is that if we are their flagship school, why does it seem like we get second-rate uniforms and a second rate contract. I know there were some stats that showed what A&M and Miami were getting, compared to us, and I believe we trailed both of them. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Keep in mind that chart shows growth, and includes soccer. Could be that when combining all product types, Adidas' share of sales is 10% and Nike's is 80%. It's easier for Adidas to grow than Nike in that situation. Quote Link to comment
DrunkOffPunch Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 One of the biggest reasons I liked the switch to Nike was that Adidas clothing was horrible compared to Nike ~5 years ago. Their shirts fit weird and were of worse quality than Nike's. That's really changed recently. Also IIRC Adidas recently hired some Nike lead designer. I really think Adidas is on the rise and we should stick with them. Alts this year were sick. 1 Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 When you have a much smaller chunk of the pie, it's a lot easier to grow by a higher percentage. Also, this is across all sports, including foreign markets and soccer, where Adidas has a decided edge, but unfortunately does nothing in quelling criticisms of their benefit to our American football program. I've actually been more impressed with them this year than I have in the past (especially their 'creative' commercials lately), but their fan apparel is still largely uninspiring and their athlete apparel isn't a ton better, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Forget Nike, Under Armour is the future. They are making some fantastic stuff for all sports. Their baseball lines are the best on field uniforms across all sports. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I grew up Nike. Been wearing more Under Armour of late. But my teenage son says Adidas is big with his generation and his age all likes Adidas the best. Guess I am old now as I had no idea Adidas was the N thing. 1 Quote Link to comment

ZRod Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Just bring back the black shoes with stripes and the long red socks. All black shoes even, thanks. F no! Those look way to dated and boring. White shoes are flashy and clean. Plus they make you look faster! Quote Link to comment

Those look way to dated and boring. White shoes are flashy and clean. Plus they make you look faster! See, that's the thing though. Other teams watch us on film wearing black shoes, they think we're slow so they go easy in practice that week, texting their girlfriends and stuff, then BAM....game day arrives and they don't know what hit 'em. Can't achieve that element of surprise wearing those flashy white shoes that make you look fast. 3 Quote Link to comment
