You guys, we didn't lose Nike. Nike lost us. Its a dam uniform. You don't need to start buying a bunch of Adidas stuff. Most of you already have all your Canes gear anyways. Whether this is good or not depends solely on the concept they design. We are already getting probably twice as much as we were with Nike, so how is this bad. You can wear an Adidas jersey with Nike shoes, it really isn't that big of a deal. As long as they have a good design (not ornament helmets).

It's still horrible. Nike is the most recognizable and popular sports brand in the world...and it's part of our history.

I'd be willing to bet whatever they gain in the contract they lose in overall sales.

Everything about this program is going into the gutter.

I'll still buy UM merch. Did it with Nike, will do it with Adidas and any other apparel company we wind up with in the distant in the future.
 
I don't get the hate on Adidas. They are dropping major money into programs these days, way more than Nike is. Nike has done a very poor job of outfitting us with the latest abortion uniforms being the worst. Adidas seems to stick with the classic designs (Michigan, Wisconsin, Tennessee, etch.). Hopefully that's the case and we can get back to our classic look.

If what i read about Nike is true in that they have a formula that tells them exactly how much to pay each school, then i don't blame them for not upping their offer. The moment they break that formula and offer one school more, they will have to do the same to all their other schools. That's not good business for Nike. Nike doesn't need to compete with Under Armour or Adidas. Nike has the best gear in sports, period. Kids know that and schools know that. They will always be in the game.

All Adidas and is doing is trying to cherry pick a couple big name schools like Michigan and Miami to build their brand and get momentum, so of course they are willing to completely OVERPAY those schools, unlike Nike. It's still good business for Adidas.....at least at this moment.
 
Nike has given us crap uniforms the last few years. That abodoniminominal (did I spell that right?) training bra strap crap uni that made me not want to buy a jersey since 2006. Those Christmas ornament FAMU helmets. Just crap. I don't care who. Give someone else a chance. Someone who will respect The U and its traditions. We need all the help we can get in that department.

What I've been saying for years, if most of you want the classic, simple jerseys/unis look of old back, then Adidas is the best bet. They hardly fck with unis unlike Nike.

Yeah, Nike has a better brand. And don't act like Nike is that much more recognizable than Adidas and Under Armour is in the US. Maybe overseas, but not here. Recruits aren't going to choose another school because we are Adidas. If the unis they design look good, this is going to be great. ****, as long as they don't **** up the helmet, I'm very happy we switched and will be getting a few million more per year.

And I definitely like Nike more than Adidas, but switching does seem good so far.
 
Tell Adidas to make the check out to Al Golden and put Buyout in the memo line.
