I believe you're being naive by thinking Adidas would just give that exclusively clause up.

E. University agrees that it shall not permit the trade name, trademark, logo,
or any other identification of any person, company, or business entity other than adidas, the University, or, subject to adidas' reasonable right of approval, any recognized governing athletics conference of which University is a member, bowl or other post-season patch, to appear on adidas Products worn or used by Coaches, Staff or Team members. University agrees that in no event shall the trade name, trademark, logo, or other identification of any manufacturer or seller of Products other than adidas be permitted to appear on any such adidas
Products.

Here's the link to A&M contract with Adidas, with minor exceptions our is identical.

I think you are ignoring the fact that these athletic apparel companies are used to this in other sports.

Can’t imagine players wearing an advertisement for a business.

I will now go and burn all of my Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts, “Polo” polos, and everything else with a brand on it.

I will then be left with nothing but a “Cracker Barrel” to wear as clothing. ; )

A Vol uniform with an endorsement patch isn’t a Vol uniform. It’s a damn sales pitch.

Well, from 2008 through 2020, the University tried to sell all of us that it give a hoot about football. We had to buy their crap coaches and ineptitude. Nothing has changed other than we finally got DW to make some winning hires.

A potential holdup would be the exclusivity clauses in schools’ contracts with apparel partners. Brands such as Adidas, Nike and Under Armour do not allow marks of other corporate sponsors on the uniforms they supply to schools.

Learfield and other stakeholders have had promising conversations with the apparel companies to ease that restriction. Learfield in December announced a program that would provide additional marketing opportunities for the apparel providers in exchange for allowing other jersey patches. Nike and Under Armour did not respond to requests for comment and adidas declined to comment.

I was curious about this aspect. Seems counterintuitive. I pay you a lot of money and you still put other brands on your jerseys? Why sponsor you then?

Will be interesting to see what the "additional marketing opportunities for the apparel providers" are offered to get this done.

I mean just how many other sponsors patches can be on a uniform and satisfy all parties involved.

It's never going back, man. They will never stop. Now that they've taken the "college" out of "college football," it's full speed ahead. Err, down. They've completely oriented around one thing alone - profit - and none of the big dogs are going to be the first to blink. They'll just keep outdoing themselves with how far they take it.

The Million Dollar Man was right. Everybody's got a price.

So the University of Tennessee is magically no longer a college?
Bwahahahaha!!!

I guess this is where we are headed…

“First off, this was a big effort put forth by this Tennessee Waffle House group. Four quarters. That what you saw tonight. A team that put forth four quarters which wouldn’t have happened without the fine hydration of Liquid Death Mountain Water, because nothing says ‘recovery’ like water that looks like a beer can.

Big shout-out to the Shoneys Big Boy offensive line. They got a lot of push obviously powered by All you Can Eat Breakfast with mounds of bacon, biscuits, and pancakes

Speaking of - a big thank you tonight to Pepto-Bismol for keeping our defensive line steady after pregaming with last nights Campbells chili night.

So again just a great team effort from the Waffle House Vols. Special thanks to Flex Seal for patching up the locker room ceiling after last week’s rainstorm — that stuff really does stop leaks instantly. And I gotta thank Febreze for making sure that same locker room doesn’t smell like the Swamp down in Gainesville. Oh and would be remiss if I’d don’t give a shout out to Tums — because if you watched our secondary give up that last touchdown, you know I needed them.

Lastly, I want to address the pre-game controversy regarding our running backs. Although Astroglide Body Lube is superb body hydration substance and great for helping our players recover from nicks and dings, we are not applying this ultra lubricating gels on our jerseys and bodies to gain a competitive advantage. With that I will take questions.”

Need to find a Moonshine distillery, a mink coat furrier and a local soda pop bottler.......Maybe a duck hatchery.
