UW & Adidas rant
Back to the pop-up tent clerk. They go on about Adidas keeping quantity low to make it exclusive apparel and UW has to place an order a year in advance. Okay, so your fans can wear all that old swoosh gear that has looked like crap for 5+ plus years? The fans can buy Champion stuff instead?
This ultra boost hot garbage is for middle school boys, and yes we all still want to be middle-schoolers....I get it..... How about you make enough of the shoe for most people that want throw money into a fire? Why not make apparel to replace the Nike swag? Why not make a nice fall/winter jacket? Since most of the season is in shitty weather. Why not make a really nice full zip PURPLE hoodie? IT'S GREY!!!!! GREY!!
Cohen is great because she handed out cheap shirts? The student section gets supposedly 50 shirts in the 4th quarter? This is the launch party????? A Wendy's barge? Disgusting!
I set aside some dough to update the Husky wardrobe, guess I will spend the extra money not on Husky tickets or clothing.
What total choke job. Why would you not want your fans sporting the new brand???? Oh, wait? I know. Look at this

Just body paint yourself with krylon next time. It’s cheaper and you can get a nice buzz of the fumes.

Be sure to use an oil based poly to get, and keep, the shinePurpleJ said:Just body paint yourself with krylon next time. It’s cheaper and you can get a nice buzz of the fumes.

I stopped at the launch party. Total joke. I expected a wider and more diverse roll out. That said, the stuff I’ve bought (2 polos, a hat, and a sweater) is nice.

OK!
Jr Bacon Cheeseburgers are legit. -
I hate to bitch about this since I usually reserve that for Pete’s offense and try not to go down the DDY marketing sucks blvd, but here you go:
1. My family and I have been season ticket holders since 1989. I own two pairs of Ultra Boosts for my running shoes. Love them. Why not offer season ticket holders a discount or advance purchase of these purple and gold shoes? I’ve signed up for every twitter mention and in-game jazz, adidas has all my info, and nada.
2. The Adidas apparel thus far is not good. Super limited options. Say what you will about Nike, but they updated their stuff every year, even producing a bunch of vintage gear, ie panting Dawg logo Ts.
3. I’ve been looking forward to the Launch Party when they announced it, telling myself to be patient with the roll-our since Cohen, who I think is great, said it was going to be “special.” Sadly, it was the exact opposite. A ridiculously long line for a gray hoody? That’s it? That’s what you’re promoting to 70,000 fans in an effort for a sell-out?
Just bummed, man. Husky fans are dying for an eager apparel partner to act like a partner and make cool shit for the fans to get them even more pumped. And it’s been way below average thus far.
At least the purple unis look great. That’s he only positive I got. -
I don’t like the pants. I liked the shiny ones that matched the helmets back in the day.

I totally agree on all fronts. My only differing point is Cohen.Beno4Life said:I hate to bitch about this since I usually reserve that for Pete’s offense and try not to go down the DDY marketing sucks blvd, but here you go:

The Uni's do look solid on TV. How about a throwback game and do a clothing launch with it of old school stuff?
Though, give me these gold pants!

IMO, the champion stuff looks better. Honestly you should tweet this shit out with your real name, not tbs handle. The roll out has been very underwhelming. After seeing the roll out his summer, I had a suspicion the event yesterday would be much of the same. Sad part, from an apparel standpoint, I think Nike was just starting to 'get it.'

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