Adidas has jerseys that look more like the templates and materials Nike has out there. But the template Miami, Texas A&M and others have is the Adidas specific primeknit uniforms. The one they market. The one they position as the best. This is what they had as far as template and materials for the 2020 all American game

I know the name of the material bro. Lol. I also know what they “position” it as, and it’s not. Hence, that’s why the shoulder pads either come out or become disjointed underneath after every point of contact. It’s also why the U became The V and patches become uneven.

I’ve never worn an adidas jersey but functionality and not aesthetics has been their selling point on the current iteration. They have other templates that wouldn’t create the issues you’re pointing out. They still give these to their top teams and changed a design element to eliminate the distorted patch as opposed to just pushing a different template

Bro; lol. U do realize ALL of their schools wear Prime Knits, right? Lol. This chit ain’t exclusive to us or their “top schools.” This is their football jersey material, period.

Let me educate u a bit;

The infamous ‘Strawberry Patches’, which was initially deemed their most “functional” jerseys, were called Techfit Shockweb.” It’s functionality & appearance both sucked, and all Adidas sponsored schools had them, from UCLA (at that time) to us, UL, KU, Indiana, ASU, etc.

It’s called marketing. Adidas has been notorious on lagging behind Nike regarding functional uniforms. Stole a couple of designs, stole a couple of patents, & have a marketing rebranding dept (Shout out to Mark King) and voila, u have things “positioned” in a way that sounds fancy & exclusive. Good on Adidas, but don’t get fooled, literally every P5 Adidas sponsored school, including high school all star teams wear these (which was debuted in the Army All American game).
They have the Prime Knit, Shockweb for G5 programs, and some original templates. Those r their templates.

I'll educate you. USF didn't wear them in 2020. Boston College just switched to Adidas and isn't wearing them. And I didn't say anything about it being exclusive. I know unlike you that schools have options of different templates with Adidas. The top schools was in reference to this is what they're giving to the top schools when they have other templates available and in use. So if they had a better option Miami could certainly request it or adidas could just send it over. USF 2020 uniform template/BC 2021 uniform template would eliminate some of that exposing of shoulder pads stuff. They look more like something Nike would offer. My initial post shows a uniform that is a different Adidas template than the one we wear.

So did u read my post or naw? I literally said P5 schools, and I said what G5 schools r wearing. USF would be a G5 school, my guy. Lol. Furthermore, BC did not switch to Adidas, they switched to New Balance. Lol.

Edit: u didn’t see my edited post, so that was on me. I posted, then went back to clarify,

My apologies, u r correct.

Boston College Athletics announces 10-year agreement with New Balance

New Balance Athletics will become the Official Footwear and Apparel Provider for the Eagles.
www.bc.edu www.bc.edu

They also signed w/ Adidas for football, only, for 3 yrs in April of this yr. They gave BC their basic template as this deal is only for 3 yrs. Also, I prefer this jersey anyway, over the “Prime Knit.” Lol 🤷🏾‍♂️

And just so we’re clear, this “Primeknit” was one of the suits Nike filed against Adidas, being that Nike originally came out w/ the “Flyknit” concept back in 2000, & had it patented in 2008. The Flyknits debuted in 2012 & 6 months later, Adidas made a statement that they were presenting the first shoe of its kind which was Primeknit material. Lol.

A simple concept that works; unfortunately, our coaches (who select combos) never learn.

The green pants were tough from 2000-2003 but lost their luster beginning in 2004.
The current ones are not bad but they might consider altering the stripes down the sides with something more sleek.

I just want those old Nike jerseys back...there’s a few random teams like Appalachian state I think that used that’s design recently and it looked good
 
Definitely cleaned some things up. Very solid looking uni’s. Glad they fixed the U collar. Hope the name plates stay aligned. I like that font. And this coming from a Nike guy. I can admit when adidas steps up and corrects their wrongs.
