ADIDAS VS NIKE

Another case of "People just not getting the overall concept". Do you understand WHY Miami out of all the schools in the Adidas stable got those uniforms? The Parley program was done to not only emphasize the concept of recycling, it was something designed to be tied in with the Rosenstiel School. The program got a ton of press and it served as a fundraiser for the school itself(The game worn jerseys were auctioned, and Adidas made a significant donation to Rosenstiel)

Recycled materials were used for the uniforms, but contrary to popular belief, it wasn't typical household garbage. It was fishing nets, and other material that could be recycled into performance wear.

Cool.

They look like actual garbage despite what they are made from.

They used to be better, recent year models have slipped downhill. Recently got new balances after having ultras for years and they’re great and also cooler now lol.

What a load of bull**** lies.

The parley jerseys were NOT NOT NOT done as some sort of special deal with RSMAS. adidas has been doing parley jerseys for various world soccer teams FOR YEARS. Had nothing to do wtih RSMAS. More importantantly, we haven't done a parley jersey since, though we continue to do "Miami nights jerseys", presumably to be tied in to our School of the Paranormal?

Give me a break. This after-the-fact nonsense about how the parleys were some big marine science promo is just bull****.

For the love of god, please just stop lying in your "defense" of adidas.

It won't. This board overestimates how cheap our fanbase is and has always been. Even when times are great, our fanbase cheaps out on merch, especially compared to peer institutions.

Heere we go again with the "Miami has a cheap fanbase" lies. Which is simply not true.

And it CERTAINLY does NOT justify going with the #2 merch company.
