They changed the helmet color (which is supposed to be inviolable for a significant portion of our fanbase),

Imo changing the helmet color is bad when it's to orange or green cause it looks ugly and lame imo. I cant think of a single orange or green helmet color we have worn and it not look horrible. I mean maybe it's possible for one in the future, I just doubt it. If our helmet is White/Black/or maybe a Grey it'll work...

All our alt 1off where they changed to black helmet, or when Nike added the little grey to bottom for smoke look, or whenever they changed just the logo coloring (like to add American flag in it or make it pink for breast cancer) or removed the stripe (white or black).... have been fine or even good imo. I think people can say they don't like it, but I think it's crazy to say those looked BAD. Like the Miami ice or literally any black that wasn't that neon...

And in general it's almost impossible to make a plain black or our traditional white helmet look bad. And if you have mostly plain black or white pants to match that helmet color, it's almost impossible for the entire uniform to look actually bad.

It's bad when you take a big risk on the alt and it significantly effects the color of helmet+jersey+pants. That only really works if you stick to white or black. I'd like to see a gray uni though, I like those Nike ones. They just ****ed it up putting the orange/green shiny helmet with it....

I know it’s not likely, but if by some miracle a deal is worked out between Nike and the University of Miami, the amount of ***** expelled in this and other threads is going to be massive. We will be drowning in Nike ****. It will be celebrated by some way more than a national championship.

This is the correct shade of green. Not really sure how adidas can’t even get our color scheme right

Dont the companies "own" the rights to the colors, thats why you see all these universities havingto change shade everytime they change companies.. South carolina fans have been complaining that their colors have changed to look like alabama lol..

I don’t think it’s true they own the rights to the colors. I think each company has their own color variations for mass production purposes. They may use the same color green for other schools/products

Flagship program bro!!
 
That Under Armor “gold” looks less like gold and more like butterscotch. 🤣😂🤣 . If I was a GT fan (thank God I’m not, 😂), I would be really ****ed. Come to think of it, their new gold looks like 4 day old ****.
 
Adidas is seeing double digit growth and especially killing it internationally. Nike meanwhile is struggling with persistent decline in sales. Nike failing as our apparel partner fits with their own struggles in the apparel market. Nike is a company of yesterday. Perhaps Miami should pick a supplier with some excitement.

Nike made a bunch of marketing mistakes. Getting rid of vendors for DTC was a bad strategy. If any of you are runners then you know how important it is for a knowledgeable salesperson in proper running shoe selection. What a stupid idea to get rid of the folks pushing Nike in retail stores. Nike spent 18 billion dollars on stock buybacks to reward it's management and investors. It only spent 11 billion on R&D which is why Nike has fallen a bit behind. Nike just decreased it's guidance forecast down 1.7% more. Not sure why CIS is so interested in supporting a decreasing global brand. Maybe with Nike struggles they would be willing to offer Miami a much better deal than Adidas. It would be big for Nike to have the support of Miami's fanbase to stop the bleeding. I hope the Admin is using Nike's weakness in any potential negotiations.

Oh and despite what many of you may think I do like Nike as they saved Converse.

Actually Nike has lost a huge amount of the specialty running shops and specialty stores. They screwed over these stores and even after Nike admitting they made a mistake with DTC a lot of shops refuse to go back to carrying Nike. Hoka and On have been brutal for Nike's running market share. They can certainly recover, it wasn't too long ago, Adidas was in touble.

Oh Im fully aware but in these discussions it seems most are already entrenched and may even be on payroll, they live and die with the brand and see no wrong.. Old heads are locked in especially, nike thought they could just rape them with higher prices and flood streets with drop directly, it was a misstep, but they have too much ip to not recover, just gonna take time..

its been nice being able to get kicks again lately tho lmaoo

yeah they will recover. They brought back the old CEO
 


“It would be criminal to go back to Nike.” Adidas treating these camps like true kings.

@TheOriginalCane Pete hints at something I shared with you in private about Phil Knight and Miami. That’s another person hearing similar rumblings.
