On the bright side, I doubt Mario will let Nike ***** with our traditional unis, as in the ones he wore when he played which are current units are modeled after. He won't want Oregon part 2.
I’m convinced a lot of our fans are illiterate. If you actually read anything on the previous deal, it was obvious thst Adidas was upping our cash and merch by a significant amount. In some estimates it was almost double what Nike offered.
Nike, nor Adidas can force any school to do anything. If a school(or a coach) doesn’t want their teams to wear certain things, they can easily say no. In most cases, the apparel you see on the field was signed off on by the University, with heavy input during the design process. Mark Richt didn’t like the feather unis, he wanted a traditional template and that was EXACTLY what Adidas provided. If Mario wants that same look, Nike will provide it.
@Rellyrell holy ****, finally!!!!!!
LET’S GO
I don't know where all the Adidas hate come from, yeah yeah they're jerseys aren't quite as nice as the Nike ones but they invested in us when Nike was turning up their nose, they gave us some needed advantages and they've been investing in South Florida. They were that good woman that fixed you up hot meal but might not have had the biggest booty. Nike is that X who you know only wants to be with you when you're winning but she's a dime piece
Me last run as a Canes fan is finally on the up 
Add me to the list and let's revisit this in three years. Nike is tanking. Stock down almost 80%. Guaranteed they'll **** up the unis and we'll end up with some upside down U or bra strap cookie cutter stupid ****. People have short memories. I guess you love having the same uniform design as Utah State.
Kind of ironic— the U as a brand is ascendant in every way possible— Nike as a brand still the world leader but losing market cap like crazy—
Talk about striking while I to. Is hot..:
The people at Nike aren’t stupid a tho they’ve kinda tarnished their brand from a corporate & stock point of view- which gave us leverage
They needed this deal- and saw the long term investment as profitable to help them in their quest…
Echeveria is one savvy cat… nothing gets by him…
We back
You are borderline...special needs.
Yes, when a NEW contract comes out, it always "ups cash and merch".
As for "some estimates" that say it "almost doubled what Nike offered", that is a load of bull****. It has been well-reported that Nike offered a high-royalty/low-guarantee contract, and adidas offered a high-guarantee/low-royalty contract.
It is impossible to know whether one contract offer "doubled" another, but I strongly suspect that the high-royalty contract would have paid a lot more over the last few years of (a) Miami winning more games, and (b) Fanatics becoming a major seller of sports merch.
So since we’re back with Nike— are we getting the “swoosh” or the “Jordan” logo like Michigan?
I’ve never understood the difference since both are Nike brands

Seems plausible.
Our uniforms will change "because Nike stock price".
Sure. Just type that bull**** and hit "Post reply"...
Show me the money. Also idk if it was ever true, but I heard that the adidas deal had a stipulation that every subsequent contract if the aav passes us that our cash payment would automatically be equivalent to that.
Nike paid us so we sign with them, idc about merch tbh. Sign our athletes and put them as the face of marketing and give us money. Side note, this should be a real boost for basketball, adidas did hamper us there.
