Adidas is pitching UW today

If they want to pay more, sure, why not. I used to care about this stuff but gear is gear. Everyones favorite Teen Boi Coach is apparently down in Portland for the pitch.

Cohen even said in a recent interview with Dawgman, that she hopes to stay with Nike. Think all of this is for show. Only real question is if it's a Nike or Jordan contract in my opinion.

Can't wait to Slav Squat at the next HCH meeting, sporting my new lavender & tan Adidas warm-ups.

all about the money. if they pay, fine, go make a Oregon-UW Nike-Adidas showdown. if they don't pay, fuck them.
that's it. -
I prefer Adidas to Nike ever since Run DMC rocked the stage in the 80's and more so now with Nike U just a few hours south of us. That said, Adidas did some nasty stuff to UCLA and Nebraska's classic uni's. I'd hate for it to get weirder than it already is now with our unis. Can we get back to the classic look finally? Or at the very least get rid of the black sleeves at home for the love of god. I don't mind an alternate from time to time...but black sleeves?

I know Adidas has really come around in the last 3-5 years. But as someone who was a college athlete between 2008-2012, I am still shocked at how well adidas has reached the high school athletes. Their NMD shoe line is great.

the key, to me anyway, are those 3 little words that Nike has forgotten "purple (1) and (2) gold (3)".

The NMDs look good, but the ultra boost is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I'm on the road non stop and they are all I wear. Boost technology changed the game.
Now if you're actually running they are too soft in my opinion, but just standing, around, walking, traveling there is nothing like it. -

Do not give a flying fuck as long as we get a nice contract to get this budget bullshit issues behind us

Word from my kid down in the southland is that ASU may be leaving them this year. I'm figuring with Herm in charge, we should look for the #Forksup Sketchers line.

Kids like Nike and Adidas about the same, their uniforms aren't that different, I'm down for whoever wants to give us the most money.

I’ve always tended to like Adidas products a little better ... although Nike generally owns the basketball shoe market.
Personally, I’d like to see us disassociate with Nike purely because of the Knight/Oregon relationship. Both Nike/Adidas are HQ’ed in Portland and I could see a deal with UW being a strategic priority for Adidas. -

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.

"Nike fucks up our uniforms because Oregon" is the biggest, longest running and most pervasive doog myth out there. UW has as much control over uniforms as they want to have. If UW had issues with the uniforms, Nike would change them, or wouldn't have produced them in the first place.
Nike is fucking global branding expert. They aren't fucking up their brand to carry out the CEO's personal vendetta. -

The Throbber is squarely in favor of Sanuk making a late bid. Their flip flops are god damned comfortable as shit.

So you're telling me that you're confident Jen likes black sleeves...I have my doubts. We'll see how black the sleeves are in 18.TheHB said:

you're half right. They aren't fucking up their brand...they're fucking up our? brand. When we got weak and small they just started squeezing our throat and flicking our ear precisely because the CEO has a personal vendetta.dnc said:

I know you think the adult world doesn't work this way, but it does because guys like Phil Knight get to the top precisely because they do play ruthlessly. He's worried about the press coverage of little poor brown kids making shoes for millionaire athletes but he still does is. He wants Washington to fucking squirm. Our uniforms are one of Uncle Phil's little fun projects. -

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

Oregon was unique when they started doing this shit. It was a huge part of a brand they were making on the fly. It worked
Copy cats never work as well as the original. We could copy the programs that make very little change to their classics. Harder to find these days as stalwarts such s tOSU and USC do alts now.
There is nothing like the Crimson Tide taking the field. -
Adidas is huge for basketball. It's the main reason our basketball recruiting is nuts now.
Don't want you fuckers watering it down. -
