The jersey? Yes. The University making a bad deal? Also, Yes. There are things on the website I would buy and I am not against Adidas. I am against the school making shortsighted deals/decisions, but we will see how that plays out.

To the jersey -- I was on the website so I checked to see what Hurricanes stuff they had, and I want to buy a Toney jersey for my daughter -- I like the white one the best, but I also like to support the color the school asks us to wear to the games... so.. I look at the orange one... and see a different #1... If all the #1s were the same on the 3 different jerseys (black, white, orange), I wouldn't have commented on it, but I found it odd.

Very fair.

adidas is inconsistent. That is unfortunate.

There are not a lot of players in the game right now. While I prefer Nike...realistically...this is a duopoly. We don't have a lot of choice.

What our CFB players looked like before adidas and Nike started poisoning our kids with polyester to lower their T. Get Hanes on the horn and stop this madness asap.

Agreed. It is Adidas vs. Nike / Jordan. Adidas is the incumbent. We have history with Nike. No matter how much @caneingville and @Rellyrell want their LuLu threads, it is a two horse race. While I prefer Nike or Jordan, what I think we really want is an open opportunity for those brands to compete with Adidas for the Miami apparel deal, have the University evaluate it and make a good decision in the best interest of the University of Miami.

If it is Adidas, then the Adidas investment into SFL sports, the MLS connection, the Mas connections, etc. --- should be why MIAMI gets the BEST deal, not as selling points for Miami to take a deal.

Time for you to change your name to Logical Not-Angry Ibis!

:ROFLMAO:
 
I'll put it this way:

I fully expect Nike with their Jordan brand to hit the NIL market anytime soon. Individualized marketing is Nike's singular advantage over Adidas and they'll pony up that market as soon as Adidas crosses one too many lines.
 
I know Pete said on his show yesterday that Nike isn't expanding but contracting. But, I do believe they are expanding their investment in high school football. This is from Google.

Nike’s investment in high school football centers on grassroots development, elite athlete exposure, and community-focused funding initiatives. Through strategic partnerships, competitive showcases, and grant programs, Nike supports athletic departments with equipment, apparel, and financial resources while strengthening its talent pipeline and brand presence at the scholastic level.

Key Investment Areas

The Opening
After a seven-year hiatus, Nike relaunched The Opening, its premier invite-only football showcase for the nation’s top high school prospects. Hosted at regional NFL facilities and culminating at Nike’s Philip H. Knight Campus, the program provides elite athletes with opportunities to develop their skills, enhance recruiting visibility, and potentially secure early Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) partnerships with Nike.

NFL Foundation Grant Programs
Through an expanded partnership with the NFL and NFL Foundation, Nike helps fund high school football and girls flag football programs nationwide. NFL clubs may receive grants of up to $10,000 to support uniforms, equipment, apparel, and travel expenses, helping schools reduce financial barriers and expand participation.

School and District Partnership Agreements
Working primarily through BSN SPORTS, a division of Varsity Brands, Nike enters into multi-year contracts with individual schools and entire school districts. These agreements typically provide annual apparel and equipment allotments, discounted pricing, and rebate programs of approximately 35%–40%, enabling athletic departments to reinvest savings into their programs.

Nike Kickoff Classic
Conducted in partnership with the NFL, the Nike Kickoff Classic features marquee matchups between nationally recognized high school programs and teams such as the NFL Academy. Beyond competition, the event offers student-athletes access to leadership development, educational programming, and professional growth opportunities through experiences hosted on Nike campuses.

Maybe Nike feels that with NIL investing in the athlete themselves is more sensible than the athlete's school. And, when they do invest in a school to be their outfitters they will be very selective about who those schools are.

Nah, that’s not it.

You can’t ***** about Mario 24/7 anymore, so you had to find something else to ***** about, so you figured you’d give this meaningless bull**** a spin. At least you’re consistent.

But you do you, I find it amusing.

Let me help with something you probably won’t find on Google. Nike is proposing only a relatively small investment in Miami, while Jordan Brand has shown essentially no interest in partnering with us. Adidas, on the other hand, is offering by far the strongest deal on the table, and frankly, it’s not even close. They are going to make it impossible for Miami to say no. It’s over, gang. This is a great problem to have.

Are we talking about cash money or Sambas for the assistants?
