ADIDAS VS NIKE

But I thought Jose and Jorge were better than that? They REALLY about to be conned by Adidas? Do those two not have anyone giving them historical anectodal evidence like you just provided?

No idea.

And if people are still confused, this is Peter Ariz's post from nearly ELEVEN years ago.

Take a look at how many things adidas failed to deliver. And now we have EVEN MORE "promises" related to our second (proposed) contract...

1. Is Miami the "Oregon" of adidas? No.

2. Did we get a "bunch of uniform combos stacked up for big games"? No.

3. Has Miami been pushed into the forefront of the adidas marketing campaign? No.

4. Did adidas model the base uniforms after the 1980s? Maybe, after a MASSIVE failure with the original uniforms.

5. Did we ever get the "black cleat concept with the eye of a hurricane popping out on the side of the shoe"? No.

Do we care less about the Adidas/Nike conversation since the program is back on it an upward trajectory? No, we care even more now.
Has it hurt recruiting? I would say YES.

Someone needs to get this to Jorge and Jose. They can’t be that tone deaf to not even open it up.
 
I don’t care much about apparel. Only thing I care about is how we look on game days. I have no interest in being east coast Oregon or special uniforms for big games. We have an iconic look and it shouldn’t be touched. I still have nightmares about the garbage Nike had us wearing during the golden years. Have we all forgotten about the Christmas ornament helmets. The camouflage adidas put us in this year was horrendous. Just be confident and embrace your history. Strong programs do that. Whoever promises to keep us looking like classic Miami I support. Don’t really care who that is.

Exactly I don’t care about 100 plus uniform combinations. Stick to the traditional uniforms nobody complains about Bama, LSU, Michigan, USCw, Texas, or Jawja forever wearing clean traditional looks

Second rate programs looking for an “edge” worry about flashy sparkly uniforms.

adidas never can provide exciting product… **** even for the final 4 run it seemed like they slapped together the most basic shirts with screen printing that even the guy at the mall would call cheap.
