ADIDAS VS NIKE

Just looking on a couple different social media accounts, it does appear that at a minimum, Miami got bowl gear on par with the other Adidas schools in the playoffs. Just haven’t posted about it. Even the Nike schools are going pretty base design-wise.

And you do realize that this is about more than sending 85 swag-packs to a school, right?

There's all kinds of contractual language specifying that adidas is supposed to PROMOTE Miami, to MARKET Miami, to PUSH Miami. This is the functional equivalent of belatedly mentioning Cam Ward as a Heisman candidate. It didn't help him in the voting, and he quickly signed a deal with another company not named adidas.

If adidas is lucky enough to get a few teams in the CFP, they should be letting THE WORLD know about it. Lazy second-place brand which should be in third place or lower.

There are no alphas. Beta Blake is semi-retired and the Mas brothers are adi-boys.

We will continue to receive ****** "official" adidas gear, which is why I have decided to buy every UM apparel brand EXCEPT FOR adidas.

I just bought a couple hoodies from Peter Millar and about to order a couple more. Classic, simple styles with what appears to be premium fabric.

And if you like that simple styling, I would recommend Cutter & Buck. You can order direct from their site, lots of options.

And to be completely honest, should ANY adidas school be posting what they got? Knowing full well what Nike schools are getting?

I’m just gonna pretend we haven’t posted it because we are still open to nike/jordan
 
I'm secretly hoping for New Balance (my old man feet favors their sneakers) to go big in the football game and make us their flagship program so I don't have to wear soft Adidas shoes that hurt after several hours or Nike that is mostly way too narrow for my feet and gives me shin splints in less than an hour.

Adidas apparel has gotten much better in looks and feel since we first signed with them and it's not that hard to find prime barely used or new team issued gear for sale online at a discount although with this playoff run the prices haven't been as good lately. I'd still rate nike higher overall for apparel but their top of the line **** is way more expensive than the most expensive Adidas **** sold
