Adidas make better quality gear, and was widely available.

Yes. The adidas gear always fit me better than Nike. Nike sizing was not consistent either. One year, 2xl fit me well. The next year, 2xl was way too tight. The next year, it was too big.

I’ll be loading up on the new gear. I challenge everyone to get what you can and show adidas that they made the right decision.

So then it is predictive out of 130+ teams. It also means last year only 13 unranked teams out of ~108 made their way into the rankings. Pretty bad odds.

But I'd say it's, again, correlative. If you're 15-25, odds aren't nearly as good as if you begin top 5. It's like recruiting rankings.

If you start out in the top-5, you have a ~75% chance of ending ranked and ~55% of finishing in the top 10, which means the playoffs these days.

It means something. People aren't just throwing darts at a board of 133 teams. Now, if people want to knock for not being "predictive enough" by all means. Purely subjective. Same as recruiting rankings, draft day experts. Nobody can tell the future, but that doesn't mean it's a completely random walk either.

It’s crazy some of the thoughts our fans have. Literally, one poster said that “emotion, tradition, and perception matter almost as much as wins.”

Even so, our tradition of winning was actually wearing an Adidas logo in the 90’s and 2000’s.

Besides the huge cash infusion to fund our NIL, the Adidas-led player sponsorships seem like another huge benefit to this deal. I don’t know that it will translate into recruiting wins, but it couldn’t hurt. This really does seem like a match made in heaven and yet another smart play by Danny White.

I think its going to be huge for recruiting. It sounds like this: if Adidas has a college player on a national commercial, ad, product display its going to be a Tennessee athlete. Nate Ament for basketball stuff, Faizon Brandon for football etc. But even a women's soccer player showing off a new cleat model or cross country runner with running shorts or something.

This Adidas deal was a no-brainer and Im sure the uniforms will be fine if we retain full creative control.

I just hope they have improved their dog**** fan gear after the last go round. It was absolutely horrible and one reason Nike was so sought after by fans to begin with. Their fan gear simply looked and felt FAR better
