Are we switching back to Adidas next year?

Yes

I've bot seen anything official. But it looks that way, if the numbers being tossed around are to be believed.

 

[BDP!]

There will be top recruits who will not give a school time of day with adidas. That’s just the sad reality of it.

5-6 years ago this was true. But not now. They’d wear oskosh Bgosh if they’re getting paid. That’s all that matters with most. Personally I like adidas apparel better but the nike uni looks much better.

How many top recruiting classes have we won with Nike? Mic drop.

If that’s the case, then why have less than 30% of the eligible athletes at Texas A&M not signed the individual Adidas deals that were offered to them?

I’m not saying that it will cost a program the same number of recruits that it would have 10 years ago, but the idea that kids will automatically take $3-5 grand to wear Adidas over zero dollars from Nike somewhere else has not necessarily played out in the real world. Athletes are still attending Adidas schools, but they won’t sign an individual deal that makes them leave their Jordans or Lululemon at home.

Finished in the top five in recruiting twice since moving to Nike, top 15 seven times. When you consider how bad the program was in some of those years, that’s not insignificant.

Oshkosh has some really good stuff.
Bought some of their boxers and, Bgosh, you really do stand out.

Just get the Pantone 151c orange color correct and I’m happy.

This is what I’m talking about BAD move for Danny in this one. This has to be all about the money and nothing else. Uniforms and apparel are terrible

Those are pretty bland.
Hopefully, ours won’t be.
And just remember, Adidas, our OFFICIAL color is
Pantone 151C. Please get our shade of ORANGE correct this time.

I get the money aspect, but I thought Adidas had some really terrible looks for us.

The good part is I think Adidas has listened in some cases. Miami is an example where they gave them some weird looking uniforms and finally got them back to their classic look. So hopefully they won't mess with what we have too much.

I especially don't want them messing with basketball and baseball; the cream uniforms are awesome.

Get ready. Nobody will be hit harder by the move to adidas than basketball. Adidas basketball is the worst

Asking because I don’t know but how many players have NIL deals with Adidas or Nike? There may be a lot. Was Nico’s 8 million tied in with Nike?

Nike only does NIL deals with athletes in their last year of eligibility. They have maybe 10 in the country. Nico did not have a shoe deal.

Adidas has signed quite a few, some aren’t even at Adidas schools. Only a handful are large deals.

One of the things that Adidas has done at Texas A&M, Nebraska and Miami is included in the amount of money they promised to spend a certain amount of NIL and influencer deals for student athletes. The influencer deals provide a certain amount of additional gear on top of what The team provides, in exchange for social media posts and appearances. Many athletes have declined those deals because they also require that the athletes not wear competing brands in public, like most influencer deals require.

You are the man in the know. I trust your judgement more than anyone else on VN regarding the branding topic.

Are we going Adidas, or are they still negotiating?

For the record I wish we would stay with Nike as I think their uniforms look better. However, when it’s all said and done, NIL rules the day regardless of the apparel company.

They’re not wearing Skechers for money.

Remember when Rick Pitino had that fat Adidas deal at Louisville? After one season at St. Johnˋs, who do they suddenly jump ship to? The three stripes. Hmm?

I personally know a girl who played for Baylor that had an NIL deal with Skechers
