You understand that it's each retailer, not Adidas that decides how much of each size to order, right?

Adidas, like Nike, makes and delivers exactly how much each retailer orders. And just like Adidas, when a retailer sells out of a product, Nike isn't going to be able to produce more. College gear is on a design and manufacturing cycle that goes for a full year. By the time a retailer is selling out of a certain jacket, the overseas factory has already moved on to making next year's model.

Nike is going to change some things for the program and open some doors in recruiting. But if you think there's going to be a significant change in the number of products sold to fans, you're going to be very disappointed.

Football Fanatics has cornered the market - most websites including the UT store link to them -- would make sense for them to load up on it. Maybe, because UT hasnt exactly performed well in recent years they didnt, but there is a demand. So DP how can fans let the retailers,Adidas, and Nike know we want the stuff ?

I'm just pointing out that people shouldn't expect things to change. Nike is just as savvy at the business of supply chain management as Adidas is, probably even more so. Ultimately, the retailer decides how much of each size of each item to order. To blame Adidas or Nike or anybody other than the retailer for that is silly.

I've never seen anything sold out in the first 3-4 months it's been available. Those orange jackets went up for sale in July. I'm willing to bet they had plenty at least until Christmas, which is their prime time to sell them, during football season.

I love most, if not all things Orange, but; I agree with VF4L. The only thing Orange I've seen more fugly is those pants worn by the Drools.:crazy:
