It does make a difference because you will See bama stomp a mud hole in ND so it's gotta be because they wore Nike

But seriously Nike blows away addidas everything

All pretty average. ND had a good year with several close games and questionable calls that won the games. But they also have been average with an average recruiting class ranked 26 over the last ten years. Most elite teams wear Nike.

Adidas sucks. I wish we were Nike. They make better products.To answer the question, yes I think it does factor into the decision to come to UT. Not the main decision maker but certainly a factor. Look at Oregon, they have new uniforms every other game and look great. As a coach I know my high school players talk about Oregon's uniforms and more specifically branding all the time in conversation. I can tell you this, none of them wear ANYTHING Adidas, all Nike. JMHO

I've heard it repeatedly from high school recruits that they would go to Notre Dame, however they wear Adidas

It's all about money. Adidas gives TN hell of a lot more money than Nike. Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska are big time football programs and have huge fan bases. Like we do. Nike is the reason we wear Adidas. Nike hate us. Adidas loves us!

My son loves Adidas soccer apparel but wears Nike cleats. If it is not Adidas soccer apparel, it sucks and I would prefer Nike. Since we are talking football, Nike hands down.

I think your right on this. Adidas major thing is soccer. Like for UT to go to Niki. With Hart as AD and comming from Alabama. We will be in Nike uniforms before long. :good!:

I doubt it makes any difference, especially in football. I'm sure there are lots of kids that have preferences, but I don't think too many people are so irrational, that they'd make a decision about the next 3-4 years of their lives based on apparel.

About the only rational reason to make that a significant factor in one's decision would be endorsement deals, but you can't do that as a college student. Even the future odds of a endorsement deal 3-5 years down the line are pretty remote for most football players, and no apparel provider is going to hold their college's apparel contract against them.

It seems slightly more plausible that it might affect basketball, where there are one-and-done blue chip recruits that might already being eying a pro endorsement deal. But still ... if I wanted a deal with Nike and I thought that an Adidas program was the best place for my development, would I really make a decision based on apparel? It's not like Nike would hold it against me that my school had a contract with Adidas.

It's my understanding that Adidas sponsors all school sports where typically under armour nike etc usually only sponsor top sports like football basketball baseball and leave out the rest. Also some of the more prestigious schools have Adidas. UT Michigan ND Nebraska Texas A&M. Nike sponsors so many i feel it's better to be sponsored by Adidas. And now they are coming out with some real nice uniforms that I think look better than the nike combat. The NIU Orange bowl unis are sick. The Michigan ones from before and the A&M vs MISS ST whiteout was nice.

I love viewing posts from 40-60 year old men who don't think that a swoosh or style of uni matters to 17 and 18 year old kids. Folks, spend some time around these kids. Listen to the way they talk.

Cool and sex appeal are the most important things in the world to them.

Remember how badly your wife wanted an Aigner bag or pair of shoes back 25 or 30 years ago. Multiply that by 10 and you've got the way most of these kids look at unis.

NIKE kills ADIDAS especially with the basketball uniforms. NIKE Pro Combat is a killer marketing tool. It screams battle, PRO ball, etc. and it looks awesome. USC has a complete area just dedicated to NIKE uniforms in their new training facility. NIKE probably gives them a kick back for that.

So yes I truly believe as lonelawyer stated above teens do care alot about what they wear and how they look. Furthermore, this is stuff they wear not only on the field but off the field as well. NIKE has a better look. I have always wished that TN would change to NIKE but I doubt that will happen.

Nike want pay Tennessee what Adidas does. Nike doesn't think TN is worth what Adidas pays. So, you young guys think Tennessee should turn down twice the money to go with Nike? Would you? Adidas thinks TN is a National Brand and pays like it.
