You mentioned UW going through jersey brand negotiations... what are you hearing? Is it getting crazy in chat?

    Does this mean the seamstresses can stop work on the pink tutus?

    Better not be weak ass Under Armour. Adidas is getting better, but Nike is still rightfully king.

    Some jumpman ones would be dope though.

    Keep the ones we have now, but fix the font and get rid of the black shoulder pads

    disagree

    Jordan dunking a fucking basketball should never be on football jerseys

    THIS.

    Sorry Roadie, but Michigan looked FS with that logo.

    Take whichever deal gets the most money. Odds are the uniforms will never be "good" again anyways.

    Yeah, it hasn't really been mentioned but the Nike contract is up in the summer of 2018, so they are negotiating a new deal likely at the start of the year.

    The thing no one talks about is that we got good at football at the EXACT right time. We might have made an extra $20 million dollars on the value of this contract because of the season we had this year.

    I expect to re-up with Nike at something like 10 years $100-120 million. For comparison, the current contract is 10 for $36 million signed in 2008. Just a perfect storm to get good at football right now.

    The Coug signed their Nike deal last summer for 10 years $23 million, think about that for a second... UW is likely to get, conservatively speaking, almost 6x more money per year than WSU.

    Contract will likely be announced in the summer of this year or late spring.

    And I encourage EVERYONE to email the AD (Jen Cohen, Carter Henderson and Roy Schick) and let them know you want TRADITIONAL uniforms. Now is the time to do that, get your friends to do it too.

    Uh, yes. For real.

    I was praying we would show up for the Peach Bowl wearing "throwbacks".

    The black sleeves are unforgivable. At least the road jersey purple sleeves keep to the color scheme (still horrendous).

    Instead of the Jumpman logo maybe they can put the Air Griffey logo on our DAWGS!
