You keep saying this as if I don't call it objectively how I see it lmao. This is a nice looking uni. I mean idk what the pants are, but jersey and helmet looks nice. If the pants are just that white one it makes the whole thing bad.... Pants need to be grey.

But every time you respond like this it proves further you can't be objective and only say positive things about Nike lmao

Because you look at the uniforms on a very surface level. If the uniform doesn't have any bulges or embroidering inconsistencies, you give it a thumbs up.

This has NOTHING to do with Nike vs. adidas.

It has to do with the storylines behind the uniform changes and whether the uniform maker has been responsive to tradition and preferences.

You just look at a picture and say "I like it". And that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. But maybe, just maybe, don't always accuse people of being "Nike fanboys" because we respond to something that your surface-level perusal does not capture.

Maybe try reading the comments FROM TENNESSEE FANS. I've been friends (and former co-workers) with a Big 4 tax partner for 30 years who is a Tennessee alum, and they really really really like the Power-T on the helmets. It's like trying to change the split-U on our helmets. It will not end well.

I'll save all the other color and design choices for another day. However, I would say that I think that adidas went a little detail-crazy with the gray-on-gray shoulder detail that you really can't even see. Weird.

Was all of that too specific for you? Not enough "Nike rules, adidas drools" for ya? Is it a beautiful shade of gray, sure. But I don't expect a detailed-eye critique when you post.

Holy **** dude I look at the overall design and how it all matches and say if I like it. Like any normal person lmao. You act like I’ve ever have been on here giving any **** about super micro details and stupid *** stitching patterns that ultimately make no difference. I haven’t. And especially for 1-off alternate uniforms I’m very fine trying new styles out.

The funny thing about the over analytical details and meaning **** is you can be waaay more bull****ty and subjective about it than just a pure “does it actually look nice” simple statement. You can comb through whatever minuscule detail you want and use that as the foundation for your Adidas hate then find the same thing for Nike and view it positively. Idgaf. does it actually look good or not? You post any 10 uniforms you want from either brand and I will give a simple yes no I like it I don’t it’s ugly it’s whatever… it’s really not that complicated.

It is a fact you and especially other dude are Nike fanboys. You can’t even be honest about that still lol. You have that negative slant and it shapes how you go into these discussions. Period.

I on the other hand look at a bunch of pictures from both Nike and adidas on here and will say whether I like it or not objectively. While every time you ONLY will ever respond to me saying something when it’s positive adidas… wonder why?

Am I allowed to say I don’t care much for the bigger shoulder stripe on this @TheOriginalCane ? Lol. It’s fine. Most black unis either red and not too much going on will look solid to good.

I will say the Mahomes logo I think I previously said I didn’t like, actually looks fine on this. But since you are a detail guy I don’t like the bar on the right that it doesn’t line up with the curve and extends past it

Them finally embracing a true football collar has helped them tremendously. I’m convinced the Miami “V” “W” saga is the sole reason they adopted to the 20th century of football jerseys and added a true collar on many, not all, of their jerseys

They will never figure out Jersey fit & number/font issues. I’m convinced that is what will continue to hold them back. Because if they could have fixed it, I know they would have. But I’m of the believe they can’t

Look, you are allowed to say whatever you want to say. In fact, it's better if you do, because at least you are then articulating a detailed reason.

As for Texas Tech, does ANYONE have ANY idea of what their "traditional uniform" looks like? And/or does anyone give a ****?

Therefore, adidas can do whatever the **** they want to do without violating 100 years of tradition (or whatever).

Black uniforms (without too much ornamentation) tend to look good. I don't understand "two stripes" on the shoulders when adidas is trying to push that "three stripe life", but whatevs.

I do think that the Zorro stuff is hilarious.

@Rellyrell , any chance we can peel the rattlesnake off the side? It appears to be the only FAMU design element...

PS, sorry, it looks like it says "Rattlers" in very small print near the toe box. I can fix that with a green Sharpie...

I’d run in these… I’m tempted to get a pair if I can stretch out the toe box. I don’t have a problem wearing FAMU stuff anyway.
 


As I’ve said many times, Adidas is becoming Skechers. Whatever Nike does, Adidas tries to follow.

1. Nike comes out w team graphic gloves, Adidas comes out w team graphic gloves

2. Nike comes out w a Flyknit shoe, Adidas comes out w a prime knit shoe

3. Nike comes out w basketball shoes as cleats, Adidas comes out w basketball shoes cleats

4. Nike starts collaborating w Sean Witherspoon, Kanye West, Pharrell, Jerry Lorenzo, Kith, etc., Adidas collaborates with all of them + the etc.

5. Nike comes out w the uniform collars, now Adidas finally comes out w their version of a collar

6. Nike comes out w/ historic, painted helmets, now Adidas is coming out w historic, painted helmets.

This is y they hate each other. Sambas went from a futbol boot to a fashion item. However, The Sambas have lost their touch which is y their stock has gone down. No way in the world should this shoe be converted to a cleat for football. This is an ankle, Achilles cleat that’s ready calling a player’s name. If Adidas was smart, they would release these as a shoe to go along w the new jersey, but to have this a cleat to match the uni is begging for an injury.

TT fans r having mixed feelings.

Some think it’s cool, others r ?’ing the material used as it appears non breathable, while others r questioning y is Mahomes name so prominent on these unis.

Like I said several pages ago, TT is deep in bed w Adidas b/c of Mahomes. Ironically, & baffling, IU is their first Nat’l Champion since 1998, yet I’ve seen more done in these past few months for UTenn, PSU, & TT. Like, it’s not even close. I’m expecting Utah to receive the same treatment come 2027, as well…but, it’s baffling how much resources r being put into those 3 programs vs. Indiana who’s been not only the longest tenured partner, but THEY JUST WON!
 
@Rellyrell peep the back of the Tennessee jersey. The material between the two panels is the same as the front, unlike the mesh material they used for the canes and other teams last year. I hope Miami gets this refresh to this updated chassis for all jerseys too cause the current ones fit too loose. The fit and finish on Miami’s jerseys overall is lacking.
 
So just to prove I don't hate Nike fam, I picked up these zoom structure 24s at the premium outlet for 45 bucks. After I had a few meetings I was right next to outlet and there were the best deal in the outlet mall. Nice and classy look, very comfortable.

The Orlando outlet malls are amazing.

yeah. Tho I was on my feet all day at the convention center and had to walk around that **** place looking for the stores in the rain. Nike was my last stop and definitely the best deal of the day. Adidas had a couple decent choices but not much elsewhere. New Balance was a waste of time, basically full retail unless you buy 2.

The one thing that would make your story better is if you had offered to pay using Nike stock...at the price you bought it for, of course...

:ROFLMAO:

I actually did it with rubbing alcohol. For the rattlesnake logo, heated it up really good with a blow dryer and peeled it off. Only left a little impression. Swapped the black laces with white

I'll post pics when I get home

Don't use nail polish remover/acetone
Qtips dipped in strong rubbing alcohol. Some pressure and patience...the white "RATTLERS" comes right off.

For the logo on the side, high heat blow dryer. In circular motion, close to the logo. Again, patience. Pick an end and start slowly peeling while still having the dryer on it. Comes off and leaves just an indentation.
