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

I love those but serious question: Has there ever been a replica/throwback done by another apparel brand in sports? I think they look great but it’s a very strange concept to see adidas replicating Nikes design 20 years later. This feels like a first

Wellllll...to the extent that Miami does ANY pre-1987 throwbacks, they are ALWAYS copying another apparel brand.

I can tell you one thing with certainty, before Nike (1987) and adidas (2015), we never used either of those companies. Russell Athletic was the last pre-Nike apparel provider, and I have no idea who did our jerseys before that.

By default, I would tend to tell you that ANY school that does a pre-1980 throwback (if those schools are signed with Nike/adidas/Under Armour) are definitely reproducing a jersey made by SOME other company.

If a school keeps the same design they have historically worn through multiple apparel companies is that considered replicating a design?

Our current design are Russell Athletic throwbacks, aren’t they?

No, not really.

I can tell you with great certainty, guys like Melvin Bratton and Alonzo Highsmith are VERY SPECIFIC when speaking on the old jerseys.

The sleeves were longer, the striping on the arms was thinner and on the pants was thicker, the arm stripes went all the way around the arms. The number font and color schemes are similar, but I guarantee you that the old players do not consider the new uniforms to be throwbacks, but merely similar styling on the numbers.

I like the current uniforms very much, and one can certainly argue that longer sleeves are never coming back, so it's a pretty close duplication for the modern day.

I tried to make this point earlier, and was told that "this is how things are done". Somehow, it made more sense for adidas to wait a few extra weeks, because lord knows, all the Miami fans spent all their money buying the "2026 version" of the same jersey we've worn for 10 years.

Now CanesWear is FUUUUUUUUUCKED.

Please support CanesWear. They have a LOT of 2001 jerseys to sell.

Always a good crew there. I hope they crush it once the Nike take over commences.

Call CanesWear. Or maybe the UM Bookstore/AllCanes/Hurricanes Team Store.

Those pix show the jerseys on hangers. Those are the only 4 places that I know that will definitely stock multiple colors/numbers.

They may not be online right now, but I'm willing to bet money that they would be happy to fulfill a telephone order to get rid of some inventory.
