Update - New uni's

Simple answer:

Yes! Lol. I don’t like the new version, however. I don’t like any of the Parley jerseys, honestly.

The first one was orange white & Aqua Green.

The second one was plain, stale w/ a maze designed numbering that look like a soccer jersey

The third one was the same chit, just in black....and we got steamrolled in them.

So yeah, I’m good off Parley anything so far.

I actually really liked the recycled uniforms. The cleats were fire and they had somewhat of a past year's look. That's just me though.

I'll be honest, I rarely even pay attention or remember last games uniforms. The only two I really didn't like were the feathers and the bra strap as people refer to them.

Uniforms overall suck today. You see the same designs on a bunch of teams, just different colors. I do prefer Adidas to Nike maybe because they're more unique to each team while Nike does a lot of what I said above. Even the coaching staffs have the same jackets, just a different color scheme and team logo. I hate that ****.

Let me be very clear; I will NEVER support Adidas sponsoring us. The fact that we were given black uniforms that are called Miami Nights, and they gave FIU black uniforms for the home game at OUR old crib & called them Miami Nights, as well? FOH w that b.s.

Now, we “allegedly” were supposed to be their flagship school; clearly we’re not b/c that was disrespectful af.

Did they say we were their "flagship school" or is that what people thought because, well we're Miami fans?

We haven't been a hot name in forever. That doesn't seem like something you'd want to label as a flagship school. We certainly aren't living up to our part of the deal if that was ever the assumption and there's a lot of big schools out there with big fan bases which would sell far more gear.

Seems to me, you're just looking to dump on Adidas while rocking those Nike's. That's fine, but I can't stand their cookie cutter approach, but it's all about saving money so I get it.

Some people are on the Nike thing like blood-in blood-out crips or something.

Listen I rock Nikes cause they just look better and feel better. Everytime I go out that realm it never works in terms of look n build. But that's my opinion that Nike is best. Someone can think Reebok is better that's on them

Bruh; u know me. U know I don’t just make up chit to just for the Fck of it.

“ With the change, Miami is expected to not only sign a more lucrative contract that will inject a significant amount of money into the athletic program, but the expectation is athletes and coaches will be receiving more gear than they did under the school's present contract with Nike, with the source saying "Miami will be treated like a special entity."”

-From The Sun Sentinel

“Their unmatched success, national relevance and cultural significance make them a perfect fit for Adidas as we continue to significantly invest and grow our business in the U.S.," said Adidas Group North America president Mark King. "Florida is a key battleground and home to some of the best athletic talent in the country. We're proud to have Miami as a key pillar of our future business."”

-Mark King

Listen, I told ALL OF YOU on here that Adidas took a huge risk & gamble on us. King was being aggressive in trying to make Adidas relevant again. He did that by:

1. Securing 3 of Nike’s top designers (who also took proprietary design properties w/ them which is why a lot of Adidas sneakers started to mimic Nike shoes...which they were sued for & lost)

2. Started to be aggressive in the AAU circuit

3. Becoming more a presence on the P5 apparel level by aggressively bidding on downtrodden known Nike schools (Miami, ASU) to expand its portfolio.

4. Go back to its 80’s roots by reconnecting to lifestyle branding via hip hop artist (and they got Kanye & reignited Pharrell)

They overpaid for us b/c of our brand. By FAR, we are the biggest P5 CFB brand under their portfolio. It was a high risk, high reward investment in us. HOWEVER, b/c I saw them do the SAME CHIT with Michigan, overpay, I made it very clear that Adidas is doing & saying all the right things for now, but if we don’t hold up our end, we’ll not be their priority.

So no, it’s not an excuse to dump on Adidas, Adidas is a second tier brand in which I knew they couldn’t keep up w/ the smoke they were blowing. Adidas is more interested in the b-ball, soccer, & lifestyle scene. Their priorities r UL, KU b/c they r in the bed w/ them.

And we’re The U got dammit, not The V.

Adidas is terrible. They don’t know how to make a football uniform. Even under armor uniforms fit the players better than adidas.

Facts! But why would they? Ppl forget Adidas is primarily a Futbol company. That’s their bread & butter. They are trying to step up in American Athletics, but they are lifestyle, Euro sport dominant.
