Trying to figure out what’s new. It’s the same template as last season.

I was waiting on your assessment lol. If my memory serves me right, you said years ago that Adidas unis will always look amature compared to Nike due to a fabric and thread layout Nike has a patent on and how Adidas was just years behind the game innovation-wise anyway.

To be clear, Adidas has come an absolutely long way in just the past 3 yrs, alone, in their jersey designs & the chasis that they use; but, they r still light yrs behind Nike. Part of Adidas’ rebrand strategy have been led by former Nike designers, but the biggest difference is going to be the proprietary materials Nike utilizes.

In fact, the template that Adidas is using today is something Nike used way back in 2004-5 to put that in perspective. Talked to a youngster that just transferred from an Adidas school to a Jordan brand school this past 4th of July, & I simply asked how does it feel to be a Jumpman athlete?

He told me it’s a different experience in gear and jersey fit. He said when he got to campus, they laser scanned his foot, put him in cleats based upon the scan & his position, & the jersey fitted like a glove, while breathable & water resistant. He said Adidas jerseys were cool, too, but they felt like it had too much material while still being thin, & it was felt like a step above HS.

To be fair, his former school did just get the newest template which is what we have, so his opinion could’ve been a bit biased b/c of the older materials.
