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.

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.

Have any of you ever launched a new appeal sponsorship at the college level? Most of you haven’t even done it at the middle school level. Until you have, you’re a bunch of know it alls who hide behind a keyboard behind a fake name. You all don’t have the GUTS to say it to Jens FACE!
-
Never been so happy to be unfashionable
-
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?????huskyhooligan said:Also if apparel is your reason not to go to games, please stop going.
Damone, did you see Adidas pitch to get the biz? Nuff said. -
I've never met Jen, and I'd have no problems saying to her face.

Tech capital of the world. Don't you think you would offer free WiFi in the stadium and at least food ordering to your seat??? Nope. -
Nike just picked up Liverpool FC pending a lawsuit by their former supplier, New Balance.
LeBron is going to be an ambassador for us. Swoosh life bitches! -
I completely co-sign on @Beno4Life’s post.
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. -
Alright. I will have to give it a shot. Haven't eaten Wendy's in 20 years probably.SpoonieLuv said:OK!

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

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.jecornel said:

Why even wear clothes?

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.
