MEGA New Miami Adidas Ultraboost🔥 - The Shoe and Nike/Adidas Thread.

1. Is Miami the "Oregon" of adidas? No.

2. Did we get a "bunch of uniform combos stacked up for big games"? No.

3. Has Miami been pushed into the forefront of the adidas marketing campaign? No.

4. Did adidas model the base uniforms after the 1980s? Maybe, after a MASSIVE failure with the original uniforms.

5. Did we ever get the "black cleat concept with the eye of a hurricane popping out on the side of the shoe"? No.

Do we care less about the Adidas/Nike conversation since the program is back on it an upward trajectory? No, we care even more now.
Has it hurt recruiting? I would say YES.

Someone needs to get this to Jorge and Jose. They can’t be that tone deaf to not even open it up.
 
I don’t care much about apparel. Only thing I care about is how we look on game days. I have no interest in being east coast Oregon or special uniforms for big games. We have an iconic look and it shouldn’t be touched. I still have nightmares about the garbage Nike had us wearing during the golden years. Have we all forgotten about the Christmas ornament helmets. The camouflage adidas put us in this year was horrendous. Just be confident and embrace your history. Strong programs do that. Whoever promises to keep us looking like classic Miami I support. Don’t really care who that is.

Exactly I don’t care about 100 plus uniform combinations. Stick to the traditional uniforms nobody complains about Bama, LSU, Michigan, USCw, Texas, or Jawja forever wearing clean traditional looks

Second rate programs looking for an “edge” worry about flashy sparkly uniforms.

adidas never can provide exciting product… **** even for the final 4 run it seemed like they slapped together the most basic shirts with screen printing that even the guy at the mall would call cheap.

But I thought Jose and Jorge were better than that? They REALLY about to be conned by Adidas? Do those two not have anyone giving them historical anectodal evidence like you just provided?

.... Adidas is going to offer us a deal where they tangibly pay us more money, its pretty simple. You can talk about all broken promises but at the end of the day extra $ can outweigh that. And if the $ is in a whole different tier than what Nike is offering then it is what it is.

Sounds like the perfect partnership, let’s keep it going!!
 
Since we’re on the topic of equipment, etc. can somebody please explain to me what is the deal with certain players using two mouth guards instead of one? I just don’t get it, especially when one of them keeps flying off like every other play. Apologies to the OP, not trying to derail the convo, but I didn’t want to start an entire conversation topic just for something like this, but it does have me asking questions 😂.

Quarter zip is actually pretty nice for what it is (nothing is stitched obviously, so who knows how long it lasts but the fit is solid and has more weight to it than I expected). Sleeves run a little short, but I’m tallish and my arms are on the longer side

Hat feels cheap tbh
 
Whatever the quarrel with Adidas, they bailed us out from all the years of Nike's trash uniforms.

Our uniforms stopped looking like the U shortly after Nike took over. And we stopped playing like the U. The two are connected. When our look became indistinguishable from Florida A&M or Pompano Ely HS, our program took a dive. We lost our identity.

We went into decline playing in the Nike uniforms. We didn't look like the U. Now we're now coming back playing in our classic dynasty era uniforms from Adidas. And we're starting to look like the U again on the field as well.

Not only did our uniform graphic design become completely detached from our brand when Nike took over, so did the colors. SoFl is about tropical and vivid colors. SoFl is not Soylent green and rustbelt orange, which is what Nike came up with for some inexplicable reason.

Adidas year one uniforms were a miss. But then they got it right. Whereas every single year of Nike uniforms was a miss once they moved away from our classic look early on. Nike never got it right.

I don't particularly care about Adidas. If folks want to pick apart Adidas, go for it. But to this fan at least, Nike failed us moreso than any apparel company in our history and should be at the bottom of any list to do our uniforms in the future. Nike got everything wrong and nothing right.

They were a miss for more than a year… I’d say the first 6 years… Brad Kayaa in that feathers uniform with the worst name font I’ve ever seen.

Well golden started the adidas years and we’ve been bad until two years ago soooo? 80% of our adidas contract has been awful

Why do so many people have trouble understanding that the school is who allows what designs we run.

We didn’t go back to the classic because of Adidas. We went back to the classic because that’s what Richt wanted and we have stayed with them because of Mario.

I guess Alabama, LSU, UF, etc. just got lucky that Nike never did anything to their design.
