Please Not Adidas, Please Not Adidas...

Tom, why did you waste your money? I have a ton of that kind of gear at my house. besides I owe you one.

I can't decide if this is just nice or creepy.

Seriously. You sleep with a guy's wife one time, and he thinks he owes you for life.

"Don't like" the shooting star is an understatement

Let's focus that negative energy on the one thing that really needs to be replaced. We can focus on minor issues like the logo when we are relevant again.

Notre Dame doesn't have an awful uniform made by Under Armour. Granted, this template might not even be available to us, and still isn't better IMO than lots of what Nike puts out, but I've seen worse.

I was talking with a friend about this the other day, wondering why more teams don't go after PUMA as a sponsor. I think they would make some super-jazzy shit for a team like Mason.

Literal reply: Puma doesn't make any basketball stuff. I think Vince Carter was with them for a minute 15 years ago. Then they had Ralph Sampson in the 80s. Beyond that not much.

Interesting corporate history between Adidas and Puma...

I remember when Stephon Marbury came out with his affordable shoes for the public...get him to give GMU his sneaks!

Doc, do you know if Nike's uniforms are Dri-FIT? I've gotten to the point where I can't do cardio or lift without a Dri-FIT shirt, because they are more comfortable and absorb sweat well.

The Dri-FIT stuff is obviously more expensive, but the good news is they are now making stuff for Mason that can be found at the bookstore (online and in person).

I got a cool sleeveless Under Armour dri-fit shirt at the Bookstore. On the front it says MASON, with PROTECT THIS HOUSE underneath. I proudly wear it at the gym in my building while I out-lift the young guys!

Colorado State had BEAUTIFUL Under Armour throwbacks today. I'd take these in a SECOND to be our unis next year!

 

[Vurbel]

Anybody hear any updates?

ODU just agreed to a deal with Under Armor for football and basketball.

Came across this article that Univ. of TN switching over from Adidas to Nike.

"The University of Tennessee likely left millions of dollars on the table when it jumped from Adidas to Nike."

So it begs the question - how anti-Adidas would everyone be if it meant extra money that could be used to buy out Hewitt's contract?

They could play in potato sacks if it meant buying out Hewitt.

I'd wear these next year... with the "Team Name" still on the front.

Yes, but would you take orders to get replicas made for everyone?

 

[dr. gunnie]

Yes, but these are pretty pricey - $129 each (add $20 for 2XL and 3XL).

Who wants one?

I would be for Crocs if it meant that.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

I'd say Vibram Five Fingers, but concerned that would lock us in to hiring Tony Shaver as then next coach since we'd be attracting that W&M style recruit.

ODU pulls in almost $400,000 from UA: http://hamptonroads.com/2015/03/under-armour-contract-worth-nearly-400000-odu

We won't get that much because we don't have football, but it's interesteing to see the breakdown of ODU's contract.
