What is our image? A swoosh or a decade of mediocrity?

I think UA pays a million dollars of Spurrier's deal at SoCar, would be interesting to see if they'd be financially invested into our coaching situation.

They would be suckers to not care that we use the money properly. Our admin doesn't do that.
It won't be because they wear Nike and TAMU wears Addidas though.
Winning helps recruiting in football not the clothes you wear.
In basketball its a slightly different story because the AAU circuit and their affiliation with certain brands.
If you asked 100 people what was Miami's image was associated with, 0 would chose Nike. I'd say almost all would say either the U on the helmets, colors, or mascot.
Nike wasn't Nike until they did bold things like sign an exclusive deal with Miami and paid some rising basketball star a **** ton of money to wear their gear. Adidas and Under Armour are trying to do the same now. Who knows what brand will be number 1 in 10 to 20 years.

LOL. I've worn Adidas gear and it performs just the same as Nike and Under Armor. You're a sheep...a marketers dream.

Notre Dame got $90M from Under Armour.
I'd guess we could do pretty close to that, we'd easily be their 2nd biggest brand.

How dumb to complain about possibly getting an additional $3-5 Mil a year to have a diff logo in some corner of the jersey.
We ***** and moan that we don't have big money donors to compete with the big boys. Guess what? This change instantly adds the equivalent of 5 bull donors. That influx is a program changer.
If you've ever *****ed for better facilities, higher pay for coaches and assts, Stop being a bunch of girls and pray this happens.

I can't believe this thread has made it to 17 pages. Apparently the soft shouldered ***** attitude perpetrated by Golden and Co. has even affected the fans. You mother****ers are way too concerned with product these guys are wearing.
Georgia Tech wears Russell Athletic and they made these coaches and this team look like ****. Louisville and Nebraska did the same thing, but they did it rocking Adidas. You mother****ers are brainwashed by advertising and don't even realize it. If a recruit won't go to a school because of who sponsors the uniforms, **** him. Someone willing to decide their future based on what brand sponsors the school, is a ******* moron.
And for what it's worth, Adidas just stole three big designers from Nike. Nike is so worried about them taking their innovation to Adidas, that they are suing the designers.

22 pages on the WEZ, and I came to the same conclusion. If you care more about the designer logo than the on-field product, you're part of the problem.
Our best days ever came wearing Russell f'kin' Athletic jerseys, and everybody sweating Miami Starter jackets. I give no ***** about Nike if they don't want to match the extra 3 million.

So consumers, the ones who purchase the apparel, don't matter? I beg to differ. I agree, at the end it is on the Administration and Athletic Department. They are the ones that allow the idiotic helmets, new colors, stupid stripes, clams, etc. They have no clue what it takes to build a brand, which is frustrating for someone like myself who does it for a living. This football team is the schools biggest marketing machine, whether they like to admit or not, and they have allowed it to reach it's lowest point since the 70's.

Agree with this.
And here is the thing, if we had a competent administration (which we don't) this would be a dream come true. The 4 million extra could go to 2 mill a year more for a big time HC and the other 2 mill to increase the assistant salary. 4.5 million a year at Miami is all of a sudden a very very attractive job.

why did UM and Nike do a complete overhaul with our uniforms if we are breaking up less than a year later?

Adidas could over us $50m more per season and this Admin will still find a way to F up and use it for any and everything but Athletics. There's nothing competent about this admin's decision making, from hiring coaches, maintaining long-lasting relatioships w/ endorsers or in the community. This is just another example of greed superceding logic. Haven't Nevin Shapiro taught us anything about Miami? They are in it for the money, not for the student athletes.
