You shouldn't even be allowed in this conversation, you probably have the least amount of swag on this entire board. Saying 'heard it here first' was literally just to get you and your little crew fired up and you took the bait exactly on cue lmao. Don't worry about the jerseys... just show up to the games in your cap and gown
 
Bruh I dislike Adidas but will wear something if it’s dope. Idc about the name. Always preferred Nike more. But is it just me or does winning change the way you look at a uniform?

Cause last year when we looked like a tier 1 program, the jerseys looked better just because of that.

Or is that just me?

Yes, but above and beyond what?

The Nike bid that was never solicited?

The prior adidas contract which was beaten many times by other schools?

I only want to know one thing. The actual cash-money (and/or royalty rate) that adidas is going to pay to Miami. Not the "in-kind" value ****, like shoulder pads and helmets and co-branded marketing.

I want to know the EXACT amount of the approximate 30-40% of the announced contract value that will actually be paid to Miami in cash.

TOC you saying that there was no rfp done? SMFH
 
@TheOriginalCane random question for you. When we made our run to the CFP championship game, do you think people who wanted gear (the bandwagon fans or people who like to pretend they always liked Miami now that their team were eliminated) were turned off by what adidas offers? I don’t love what adidas puts out there for us but are we more critical of it then people who have no rooting interest in the team? I believe if we were a Nike or Jordan school more people who don’t care about Miami would buy our stuff.

It just makes perfect sense regarding location and demographics of South Florida, their investments in HSs here, and the overall program current strength/trajectory/overall commitment in top 2 sports…

Adidas would be foolish as **** not to go all in on us imo.

If I were Adidas I’d be going all out to extend Miami and A&M
 
Sounds like the smart money is to stay with Adidas. I’m cool with that, even though I’m personally more of a “swoosh” guy. I just wish the 3 stripe guys gave more of a fucc about the merch that is available for the fans.

Would you look at that? 🤔

Shout out to @Peter Ariz. He is cooking with the new channel.

This is the first thing I've seen of his new show....sounds AI written and he's reading it pretty much the entire time, ngl.

I do like how as soon as he left CIS again, he started actually putting effort in besides just being mr negative nancy who doesn't know ball, and is trying new ideas lol.

I will tell you a true story, and there are certain posters on this board who can back me up on this.

When we made it to the CFP Final, there was a particular polo shirt that SEVERAL of us wanted to buy. Black polo (they made a white one too) that had the U, it had the 3-stripes, and it had the CFP logo.

We texted each other, we could not find this shirt anywhere. It had been available on at least one website, and then sold out.

One of the guys (who posts on CIS) called CanesWear, and we assured them that we would buy the polo in the quantities required to make it worth their while to place the order. Gave sizes too.

So here are the questions, and part of this is based on my own experiences at NASCAR dealing with branded merch, particularly time-sensitive merch:

1. If you plan on making multiple versions of an item that has a limited-duration component (the CFP logo), why not make enough? Because if you make enough, sure, you might have a few you need to discount later, but you still maximized the ones you sold at the top price.

2. If you are "sold out", why are there still additional items available to be special-ordered LATER (i.e., after the game has been played)?

3. Why make a premium item, and then only sell it via ONE outlet? Why not offer that item to all outlets, particularly the UM Bookstore and Fanatics?

Now, keep in mind, I bought two different items that were very similar. I bought a New Era hat with the same elements (black, UM logo, CFP logo) and I bought a matching polo. The hat was not a problem, I ordered that directly from New Era. So then who is the problematic party? Which company did not have this polo listed ON ITS OWN WEBSITE? Could it be...

The white colorway of the polo I'm talking about. An $80 adidas polo, very near the top price-point for adidas.

The polo that is available only at CanesWear (limited sizes, only 14 total left), and only since they re-upped after the CFP:

I ordered this hat (but in the 39Thirty model) from New Era:

For the record, the only adidas gear I have purchased in the last year. Everything else is Columbia, Cutter & Buck, etc.

Peter is such a bull****ter. OK, so Nike wouldn't make a "gold swoosh" or a "Saquan Barkley" shoe for Pedo State, and THAT is like what happened to Miami in 2013 and 2014 when Beta Blake was siphoning money away from our players' equipment? Uh, no.

I have already said it on other threads, adidas has been doing a good job of building up NIL money and HS-recruitment over the past two years. Is that supposed to be some unsurmountable lead that Nike can't overcome if it chooses to match head-to-head?

Give me a break.
