BC has been an NB school for years. After their UA deal was terminated, they went over to NB.

UA like Oakley sunglasses has become a niche brand for people that most of us don't want to be associated with, limiting their mass market appeal. Most people don't want to hang around or deal with the douchebag running around with the Punisher bumper sticker(Obviously never actually reading...

Tell me you haven't been paying attention without telling me. Adidas has given the basketball team some mediocre designs mixed in over the years(The trolley yellow uniforms, I couldn't even look at them without asking questions), but considering how many different templates the programs have...

My feet hurt just looking at them. Seriously. Those jerseys will sell. The shoes aren't really my jam, but I want one of those jerseys for the archives.

Gotta gut em and switch the laces.

The new Coke issue was far more complex than “Let’s put crap out and people will appreciate old Coke again”. That’s a conversation that we could have for weeks, it’s an amazing case study in incompetent leadership. That said, it’s unlikely Nike was trying to get eyeballs by issuing this stuff...

I didn’t know majestic had sold to fanatics. This makes this situation look worse for Nike because I thought it was Fanatics doing what they usually do and that’s produce trash. I was giving Nike the benefit of the doubt because there’s no way anyone could look at these updates and conclude...

That’s one thing Adidas does well, make comfortable shoes. The issue is that they have a design language that doesn’t resonate with people. They have also done a poor job combating the decades of advertising Nike has done. Nike has been coasting for decades now, but they can do that because the...

The issue is that no amount of marketing will overcome the hypebeast nonsense. Dudes are still out here hooping in classic Jordans which are to this day some of the WORST shoes to ball in. I’ve heard great things about New Balance basketball kicks, they can’t give them away because “They aren’t...

Someone is getting fired for this one. How can you as a company allow Fanatics to make the jerseys KNOWING that their quality is trash. But according to some, Nike is the gold standard, incapable of bad quality merchandise. You’d think that as long as the swoosh is on something, Nike would...

But the hypebeasts will swear they are the coolest thing ever.

Arnold Palmer said it best “ You can be great AND be nice” Is Jordan the worst human being in existence? No, but if he wasn’t a great basketball player most of us would see him as an awful person. You can’t have this many stories floating around without there being some truth to it. It’s a...

Hey, he’s not a trash can. Trash cans at least have multiple uses. Jordan has done some charitable giving, but has a proud legacy of treating people like crap.

You’re a classic ish starter. How many fights did you instigate back in the day? “Bet you won’t do anything”

Of course there will be multiple things happening at the same time. If Adidas is in breach, Miami can use the threat of litigation(and the negative PR that would likely result) as a way of negotiating an end to the deal. That’s a lot more likely that litigating, because that’s usually the last...

Granted, I used them as a hypothetical. Maybe Miami goes old school and merely purchases what they need until the new deal get done, who knows. It’s extremely unlikely that a breach situation happens, because it’s a lot easier to negotiate an exit than go scorched earth. I keep saying this but...

Miami gets their equipment from Adidas, doesn’t mean Miami can’t purchase equipment from somewhere else until a new deal gets done. Think baseball teams and bats. There are Adidas schools that had preexisting deals on bats, and those deals remain in place. Certain sports use equipment that...

Going by your logic, if an industry is a duopoly, breach of contract clauses do not exist. Do you realize how insane that is? If you aren’t willing to stand up and at least attempt to enforce the contract, you lose all credibility and leverage anyway. Again, if the deal is that bad and there are...

Time to put my JD hat on. Let's say this deal is as awful as the Nike cultists would have us believe. If it is that bad, AND Adidas is welching on elements of said contract(as has been alleged), you'd think that our legal team would take that clear BREACH OF CONTRACT and be working to walk...

Merely screaming something, without supporting evidence isn't the flex the cultists believe it is. Amazing how actual journalists, with actual sources could put in print that the deal was MANY TIMES MORE, and Nike refused to match(which was my point), but that doesn't matter. However, some...
