Not bad tbh

I think its the numbers, gonna turn off most, especially compared to previous..

Mario knows better. He does everything he can to NOT rock adidas.

You may not be wrong, but what does that say about the Adidas deal if Mario doesn’t even have the freedom to say no? If he’s essentially obligated to accept it, that suggests Adidas is offering something significantly stronger than …well….you know who.

 

[The U is back to work]

would Phil Knight’s ego allow him to give UM a big offer? Yes I know money is the bottom line so it wouldn’t matter but he has his finger on the pulse there and they were left at the alter by Mario.

Or that there are powerful elements pushing un poco mas fuerte for Adidas.

According to Mr. Google,

"Adidas is paying Real Madrid approximately €120 million ($138 million) per season as part of an eight-year contract extension that runs through 2034."

"Nike's sponsorship payments vary significantly by team, with its most lucrative kit deals exceeding €100 million annually. FC Barcelona holds the largest deal at roughly €120 million per year. Other massive national and club agreements range from €80 million to $100 million annually."

Adidas is a soccer first and always will be a soccer first company.
International soccer dwarfs cfb.
This is from 2014 when Real Madrid signed James Rodriguez

No cfb or nfl player is doing that.
And this is Messi the Messi effect and placed inter Miami in 5th place in soccer merch sales world wide

I’ve been clear about this from the beginning.

Miami should have created the situation for Nike to feel that it had a shot to get Miami back, if even that was only for competitive reasons. Miami has not done that.

Second, I’m tired of the one-sided leak fest of myths that is trying to give rise to this slam dunk blowout. I we as once pro-adidas/****-Nike…10 years ago, and premised on false information.

This was a reasonably simple task for Dan. Talk to Nike, acknowledge the BS that Beta Blake pulled, and indicate a desire to put the band back together if Nike comes close on the terms.

Never happened.

Don’t believe everything you hear. It’s quite the opposite, Adidas wants to make certain brothers at Miami very happy by prioritizing Miami. If Nike had the better deal, Miami would go back to Nike. This is a business at the end of the day.

You know i disagree with a lot of this. IMO, Nike should have created the situation to get Miami back and put more effort. We are the client lol. That didn’t happen. Adidas has done the complete opposite. We will see what happens as I expect an announcement sometime this year.

The announcement should come beginning of season if compared to last year announcements

 

[Dwinstitles]

10 years is stupid asf, things change quickly and in 3 years that could look like a cheap *** deal. Then you stuck with it for 7 years

Escalators could be written into the contract that keeps certain schools receiving ABC amount of money, but long term deals are how almost all apparel deals work tbh.

Thats why we did the better deal last time and signed for 12 years..

Miami (under Beta Blake) ****ed up the relationship when he became AD. I don’t disagree with you on outcome, but it’s just ridiculous to only be on good terms with one bidder. Whatever adidas promises, they have a history of underdelivering. And I’m not just talking about Miami.

 

[Rellyrell]

The font, yes.

The material, not sure.

The CUT? Now that's something that @Rellyrell could tell you about, he posted on this very same thing last year (the way that the different kinds of material are stitched together in the middle of the jersey.

The material is the same “new, upgraded” material they’re using for their tier 1 teams, but the # designs r from that recycled plastic jawn.

The worst part is the fan replicas of these; like zero effort were put into the fan versions. I’m their X explanation & they said it was inspired by the rows of corn fields. Lol.

I’ve seen some Nebraska fans say these jerseys r between NC State & Wisky. I don’t they’re bad; they feel a little throwback-ish w a hint of modern flare.

Didn't I just say that?

Maybe I misread your point, and if so, my bad. There have been rumors floating around that certain people at Miami are pushing Adidas for political reasons or some kind of conspiracy, but that’s simply not true. I assumed that’s what you were hinting at.

At the end of the day, this decision is about one thing: money. Today, Adidas is offering the best deal, and that’s what’s driving the conversation.

I'll just say there are business interests aligned on both sides of the deal. I don't think there's a true supermajority consensus on UM's side, but there's more than enough clout to work a lucrative deal (and Adidas is being very receptive to that).

 

[skyman]

Adidas is ****. We dont care and taking the money anyways.. the end.
