    I actually thought we re-upped with Nike late last year based on this article.

    http://www.dailyuw.com/news/article_459a459c-c8dc-11e7-ba6b-ab7ef7509127.html

    Are there different contracts for merch licensing and the apparel they actually wear on the field?

    counterpoint: what adidas did with miami was literally perfect.

    counter to the counterpoint:

    But I guess every team in america has to have a black alternate these days...Cause Jen likes them.

    Currently being a college-student athlete who sort of plays football, everyone prefers Adidas preformance wise. Way more comfortable, breathable, etc etc, But the power of the Swoosh is still prevalent. But with that, Fuck Oregon. Switch to Adidas.

    This article predates the article you poasted but has some good chinfo on the existing Nike deal.

    Its all about adidas with the kids these days, they doing all the collabs with designers. Maybe we could get the first Yeezy adidas collaboration uniforms. Plus kids would get free ultra boosts and NMDs shit thats worth it right there. Those UW players could turn around and sell their adidas shoe gear for a profit if they were smart enough

    For the record; like anyone gives a shit: I don't believe Nike is intentionally fucking up our unis necessarily. I just despise black fucking sleeves. If sleeve color is our biggest issue, I can fucking deal with it. BowDownToTheFuckingBlackSleeves

    You still don’t get it


    Not much to "get". I don't like the black sleeves. End of story.

    Every time you blame Nike for the fucking black sleeves you show you don’t get it.

    Fuck. I’m not re-reading this AIDS infested thread again just for your benefit. Do your own homework. You probably have helicopters for parents right?

    That's what I thought dick weed. If the Nike blame doesn't fit, you gotta acquit!

    So, according to you, Nike is unintentionally fucking up the unis. Intentional or not, you’re blaming the swoosh.

    Further, you questioned whether the AD with balls as big as her tits liked the black sleeves. If she didn’t want them, UW wouldn’t have them. Again, leading one to believe you think Nike is at fault.

    Now fuck off.

    Just dropped by my local middle school. Champion is the hot brand with the next generation. If we want to be a power house in the 2020s we better switch to Champion.

    This is true. I had a $7.00 Champion sweatshirt, from the early 90’s, that I wore when I was leaving the gym or doing yard work; it’s pretty ratty. My 16 year old daughter discovered it in an old gym bag and now wears it nonstop. It’s amazing how many compliments her friends give her.

    Pics.
    Sure.

    So by your logic Nike has nothing to do with the Nike uniforms the UW wears? That's a ridiculous suggestion. The designer (Nike) and their design professionals, with input from the Client (UW), likely put several concepts together for the UW to consider and select from. Yes, both Designer and Client have a role in the process.

    What I am suggesting is that the uniforms introduced 4 years ago (with black incorporated) may or may not be what the UW wants to continue to roll out on the field. Further, If Cohen and the UW liked black so much why did they elect not to wear the black alternates in 17 as in previous years? Not black pants, jerseys, or helmets...Not once! I don't really care who designed it or who approved it, I just want the black sleeves to go away finally, just like the purple helmets did. It looks bad. That was my only point though-out this thread that your senile mind can't grasp for some unknown reason.
