    Also if apparel is your reason not to go to games, please stop going.

    I had mentioned the desire to update the wardrobe. I don't go to the game for clothing but I would like to wear purple to the game that will also suffice for the weather conditions in the fall and winter. Is that asking too much?????

    Damone, did you see Adidas pitch to get the biz? Nuff said.
    Finding purple cold weather gear is not hard. UW bookstore has been selling cold weather and water proof jackets from Columbia and Nike for years. I'm pretty certain a UW alumni membership gets a discount at Columbia.

    All I want is that track jacket they showed during the first rollout and apparently it's not for sale to the public.

    Completely reasonable!

    I love the Adidas uniform designs. They knocked that out of the park. A+.

    Everything else they have completely botched, and I know now Adidas gives zero fucks about making UW *fans* happy.

    I’ve made my peace with that now, and I encourage everyone to do the same.

    It is a shame though, I had high hopes for this partnership.

    I agree to the above statement but have to also add that we are now in what it is called swag and fuck boy territory.

    Adidas will make gear that maybe we will like maybe not but it will be very limited releases to make it a hot commodity so it’s sells out makes numbers look good. The shoes will be something every shoe fuck boy wants for a collection that is not a UW fans collection or a bot some Russian fuck uses to sell the shoes later with a crazy mark up. The same fuckers that make Yeezys , Pharrells and limited edition ultraboost sell out in seconds are the ones that took our boosts. So I'm used to losing out on some shoes here and there but to lose out some UW boosts. That was the worst. I want the shoes I'll get some but I hate paying mark up. Fucken Adidas!!!

    PS: Jaime.

    Wendy's is garbage. But that Jr bacon cheeseburger is legit. The only thing worth ordering on the menu. You got to get on that!

    I could give a flying fuck what Adidas' clothes or shoes are like and how available they are. If they make something good and make it available and I need some game day gear, I might buy it. If not, I'll buy something else. Either way, the program got a metric fuckton of money, and the kids seem to like the affiliation. I mean, if Adidas wants to spend over a hundred million dollars without cashing in on the fan base to the fullest potential, that's no skin off my sack.
