Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Jackcrevol]

Then screw them! Hope we run them into the ground!

i don't understand it all but my understanding is Nyk wants to concentrate more on pro game.

Swain said TN Fans will be very happy once they understand the full investment Adidas is making for TN

LOM'S will never be happy with anything going on at UT---just the way it is

 

[TheRain]

The stages of grief over Nike on X is amazing.

This was peak stormtrooper. Clean as a whistle.

He was the original storm trooper---if we ever get back to this type of player, heaven forbid

What the F is Nike's deal?? I understand you have the heaviest of the hitters, and yes, at the end of the day you dont really need Tennessee; but, why the disrespect? How can they not see how hot our brand is right now?? How can they not create a brilliant campaign to get us out there, and get money into their pockets? Hell, they could make a BILLION dollars alone, just putting Tony V in front of a camera, telling everyone to just do it. Girls and women would eat it up! Whoever allowed this relationship to obviously sour, needs walking papers yesterday.

Nike unis looked better. CFB is about the fans, and players.

Giving players best looking gear then hiding it all for fans, is dumb business. May work in NFL where people may pay more ? I dont get it. Our selection as fans was crap. Its always sold out, and never available via retail outlets.

Adidas is more geared to college game. Frankly, i'm glad to see em:

The responses I've seen to the announcement on Facebook are pitiful. It's wild to see how people get so attached to brands.

 

[Batman1948]

For comparison. Both are bad imo View attachment 763203

If those are still in the supply chain, when the contract is up, they may be buy one-get one for $25

Funny thing is most Americans have zero clue how to actually say Adidas

I understand. But it’s not like Americans say “Nike” with the Greek pronunciation.

American pronunciations are standard in America.

Too many fools compete to be the biggest complainer.

 

[Batman1948]

Wonder how long we will have to wait before the Vol shop starts selling Nike apparel at bargain bin prices?

I wouldn't wear Nike if it was given to me---never have, never will

 

[Batman1948]

We need to do everything in our power to undermine Nike. I hope it ceases to exist within the next year

Dude---are you on drugs

 

[Rishvol]

They're ahead of schedule dang it!

 

[ENGRVOL]

Big loser today is Nike. There are college fanbases, devoted college fanbases, and then there is Tennessee

 

[Rishvol]

... RGW is DW

 

[Govolsman98]

Dude---are you on drugs

Yes. How could you tell?

 

[Orange.]

It was a sad day when my old classic “100 Years of Volunteers” shirt finally gave out. Should have cared for it better.

And they call those weirdos at TAMU a cult look a those numbers!

I think this is a huge whiff by Nike. Theres not a more dedicated fan base in college football imo just look at how freaking BANANAS we go over a uniform change. Theres schools out there with a lot less to say when they fire their dang coach lmao

Laughing at Miami, ATM, and Nebraska. How do you think they feel now that Tennessee is back on brand and #1 in their hearts(wallets)

 

[25vol]

So am I the only one who thinks the old school Adidas uniforms were awesome? Especially the away uniforms. They could literally just take these and copy them and have us wear the same exact ones and I’d be happy with it.

Further

to undervalue where this program is when another competitor is offering above market value?! we have an extremely logical AD.

The SEC and TN sports' value is higher than its ever been. Really head scratching, glad they're gone.

I am so pumped for this, I can hardly contain it.
*twhs*

ADIDAS said they have been trying to do this for a decade. You can tell they wanted to work with us again, and jumped at the first chance they got to reach out.

Boys and girls, this could be the final piece to world domination.
