Uniform hard… it’s the helmet that throws it off. Nike does play with helmets too much but jerseys rarely not on point

It’s the stripe. The stripe is on the helmet and pants. Not good. But my point was how multiple here posted here to complain about adidas ruining the traditional units when they became the new sponsor…. Meanwhile Nike just releases this and crickets.

You must have literally never posted in this thread or the other gigantic adidas v Nike thread before or just ignore Toc/relly posts lmao

I used to read this thread more often a long time ago, and I know where TOC/Relly stand with the fan gear. ****, that was a convo we were having 2 years ago after Michigan won the Natty lmao the difference in what Nike was offering vs what Adidas was offering was staggering.

Nowadays this thread is way more about the state of the market and who sells more etc etc. Not enough hating or loving uni's like it was before

The “sneaker culture” has been sullied, bro. I’m not randomly saying this, sneaker purist have seen the clickbait guys go viral & have followed trends. One of my partners is a former marketing director for Nike & he highlighted the quickest way to build ur brand is to be controversial or tell half truths w zero context. He’s highlighted how players or schools switch brands all the time, but it’s when it’s a school or player that leaves Nike, that’s the biggest draw. That’s the “Nike has fallen off” viral videos, although the market share, data, sales say otherwise.

We talk all the time & its not just shoes, it’s every topic:

Relationships:
How to build a successful relationship? Mid #’s
Women ain’t ****? Viral
Men ain’t ****? Viral
Wholesome Girl? Little Followers
Buss Down Tatiana? 500k+ Followers

Clothes:
Regular, put together outfit? Eh
Balenciaga Skirt for Men? Viral engagement

It is what it is; I’ve been to EYBL tourneys, been to the Nike pop ups during All Star Weekend, been to TOMA. I’ve seen fights break out over releases, I’ve seen kids begging for Nike to pick them, so I don’t go off what some accounts say. I’m led by data, inside info, & a level head that the hypebeast era is now dying down & it’s back to the retail era where I could get any shoe I wanted w/o a 3rd party.

This is marketing 101, evening news probably in the gate keeper era perfected it but social media has allowed the everyday person to get in on action, heck it happens on this very board for decade plus, a poster can make a post or you can troll and get a hundred responses..

Once social media basically paid "content creators" for any type of engagement, it was over bro, lol.. Some of these guys have outrage marketing down to a $cience.. Outrage marketing get the best engagement and even if people know its troll post they still have to "interact"look at a car crash..

We are in the middle of evolution from that with clipping but the outrage era is soo deep to human psychology that its dam near evergreen :ibis-roflmao-sm3:

I'm sorry, but adidas is coming out with better cleats and styles for youths and adults then Nike is. I mean I got football kids that rarely get Nike stuff anymore. I just got a brand new pair of cleats for my son and they look way better then anything I got from Nike.
I'm still a Nike fan I can't wear nothing but Nike that's how I was raised.
Can you imagine if Adidas sign Jordan?

If Jordan had signed with adidas like he wanted to, we'd never know who Phil Knight is, Oregon would still suck, and there would be no Nike fanboys insisting that everything Nike is better than anything by any other company.

They are better

The stripe?! The stripe is clean. And it sits on a pant that actually fits. Something adidas has not executed in 30 years of being in the sport. Have our players looking like plumbers out there picking up their pants.

I’m not a Nike fan boy. I don’t give a **** about fan gear. Don’t care about stock prices, running shoes, etc. I care about how our uniforms look. While adidas has finally given us a solid legacy uniform it is still leaps and bounds inferior to anything. that Jordan/nike puts out.

If you can’t see this, it is very hard to take the conversation seriously. The arguments on here go 100 different ways trying to say Nike vs adidas is better. I can’t speak to any of that, but as someone that can tell you how a uniform should be executed it is comical what adidas trots their schools out there with in 2026

Special collab that was “clowned” online. I told everyone ppl will fight & kill for these, don’t listen to social media. Voila.

Might be an unpopular opinion but these are niiiiice. A little too much with the helmet, but the uni itself is 🔥

G6 schools are the perfect place for these types of jerseys. I get the displeasure for the blue bloods doing anything too crazy. But I love my Air Force special sets every year that are highlighting a certain airframe or historic squadron.
