You don’t seriously think that’s what I was saying, do you?

First of all, I was being facetious when I said that. Secondly, many of us have been talking for a long time about Adidas fan gear. Relly and TOC are aware and have backed me up in the fact that Adidas’s women’s gear is practically nonexistent. TOC mentioned lululemon, and I made an offhanded comment to him just reinforcing a point (again, which we’ve been discussing for probably a year in another thread) about how difficult it is to find women’s Canes gear.

Not sure why this bothers you so much. Women make up a substantial percentage of our fan base, and Adidas and UM are missing out on a good deal of income by not properly considering us.

Ma'am, please just breathe. I'm a natural smart *** and I look for ways to amuse myself to battle my demons. For me laughter is my only escape. I'm sorry if you thought I was being serious. I definitely wasn't as anyone else would tell you I'm aware of pretty much everything when it relates to us as a program and I'm also aware of the shortcomings of Adidas and many brands for that matter. For me, I was just making myself laugh. I apologize if I didn't think that through well enough to where it offended you. Thank you for supporting the program and have a great weekend.

Sidenote, to bury myself a lil further I didn't mean ******** over like not considering... It's the dog in me. I'm fond of the visuals of lululemon on women. HENCE where this went off track.

Lol, my breathing is just fine. The last thing that would ever offend me is some dumb **** on a message board.

Again, I understand what we were and what we've done.

But it still worth acting Ike a bunch of ******* over "adidas vs nike"?

This would be a fairly straightforward conversation if a bunch of adidas-bros would stop repeating 12 year old myths that Beta Blake invented to justify his actions.

If you like adidas, buy adidas. If you like Nike, buy Nike. I don't give a ****.

But for my alma mater, whose first major point of nationwide validation was becoming the first all-Nike university, I would like to see us reinstate the relationship that was derailed by Beta Blake.

There are serious and legitimate issues to address (injuries), there are stupid-****ing-match issues that should be avoided (the money!, which will be relatively equivalent, though could be better if one company gives us a 15% royalty rate), and there are borderline-retarded issues that should indicate the motivation of the individual (Nike treated us poorly, waaah waaaah).

I am with you. As I said before, at the end of the day IT IS WHAT IT IS. I would like to think we're all Canes fans and, let's be honest, do we want to lose sleep over 'adidas vs nike'?

Nike Ruined NBA Uniforms

A tale of too many jerseys
open.substack.com open.substack.com

"If you want to understand why tradition was abandoned, I will, again, direct you to Nike’s tanking stock price. I posted a piece about UBS research revealing that a decline in NBA popularity had hurt the apparel giant. This is causation in the other direction, where Nike foolishness has undermined the NBA brand."

I think the biggest issue with Nike's decline is that there's no young compelling American NBA superstar. Nike had Jordan - Kobe - LeBron - ? Even if Wemby becomes the star they and the NBA hope he'll be he won't connect with Americans because he's French. I don't think the issue is the glut of NBA uniforms. The large number of NBA uniforms is something the NBA wants for money reasons and Nike complies.
