MEGA New Miami Adidas Ultraboost🔥 - The Shoe and Nike/Adidas Thread.

[Miami04]

Might be the most clueless post that I've ever read on this subject.

Yeah, and for $3M, we plastered their name everywhere. Which will be removed and replaced when we sign the new contract.

Good lord, acting as if $3M of sponsorship buys permanence. The bull**** you read on CIS...

You apparently have difficulty reading and processing.

On top of their sponsorship deal they gave an additional $3 million for the indoor facility. And you are factually wrong, we did not put their logo "everywhere". There is one Adidas logo in the entire facility. If you want to argue about that, then I can post the pictures I just took. My comment simply stated that if their offer is at the top of the offers we are not going to just bail because certain fans want a check mark on our jerseys.

Adidas has been a good partner to UM and when Nike wouldn't even supply us with new uniforms for every game Adidas came in and made us their highest paid school. I want whichever brand pays us more and treats us better, I don't care.

None of this is true, like literally none of it. However let me ask what’s most important; winning, branding, or $$?

You can think what you want. As I was writing a check to donate to the indoor facility myself and a member of the athletic department had a conversation about how much more money was needed to be raised. He talked about as we were getting close to the end Adidas kicked in $3 million to help finish us up. Could he have been lying? Sure but why?

Ask @DMoney about Nike no longer sending us new equipment. They started treating us like trash. But we deserved it because we wouldn't stop sucking in football.

And to answer your question 1. winning 2. money 3 branding. Everything will come if you accomplish 1.

I’ve already corrected @DMoney about this, & if I need to rehash that again for ur edification, I will have no problem w/ that. Furthermore, I don’t “think” anything; I’m very connected on this, directly. So great that u’ve donated, that still changes nothing.

When I stated nothing u said is true, I wasn’t referring to Adidas “alleged” kick in for the IPF; I’m referring to ur statement about being a good partner for us, making us their highest paid school, etc.

Furthermore in college athletics Winning is most important, winning builds ur brand, & ur brand = $$.

I haven't said anything about Nike vs. Adidas. Think you guys are talking about someone else.

I don't know anything about shoes. I'm a New Balance 40-year-old.

Lol; I’m referring to the practice jersey issues we discussed a couple yrs ago, & I explained the clause in Nike’s contract regarding converting product into cash.

Exactly. It's a business arrangement, nothing more. If Nike steps up with a deal that is better than, or at the very least EQUAL to what Adidas offers, then I'm all for Miami moving back to Nike. That said, we shouldn't take a paycut, just to be part of Team Swoosh. I've said it once and I'll say it again: It's amazing how many Miami "Fans" are more loyal to an apparel company, that treated the University like crap for YEARS, than they are to the University.

Adidas has been a solid partner, and while everything released isn't my jam(Nike put out a ton of crap I wouldn't wear either), the student athletes have been happy for years about what they are getting. As long as the athletic department, and most importantly the student athletes are happy, I'm fine with it.

This "We deserve to be treated like crap, because we weren't winning" nonsense needs to end. Nike willingly chose to treat Miami like crap, because they didn't think Miami would walk away from them. Plenty of programs have been mediocre at best for years, and Nike never felt the need to do them dirty.

You are so full of ****. What you don’t know about corporate sponsorship of sports could fill a set of encyclopedias. I guarantee-*******-tee you that I know more about this than you do.

It has been well-established on this thread that adidas has been a terrible partner to Miami. I can just name ONE TIME when adidas ****ed us in the ***, when Louisville re-upped with adidas and then adidas didn’t honor the most-favored nation clause in the contract.

So **** straight off with your Beta Blake propaganda about Nike AND READ THE THREAD. @Rellyrell and I have explained numerous times about how Beta Blake converted apparel into cash. **** off with “Nike didn’t give us new uniforms”, that’s just a lie the know-nothings tell.

As for what you DONT KNOW about “activation”, it’s just hilarious. I didn’t say that the adidas logo was all over the IPF itself, but it is EVERYWHERE. Since you are so eager to brag and post pictures, don’t want me to post the pictures I took a few years ago when the IPF opened, and every player on the team was working out in identical adidas gear WITH THEIR NAMES AND NUMBERS on the t-shirts and shorts?

I know what happened. The adidas ***** got caught shorting us on the contract and they suddenly made good with a magical 3M donation. Sorry that you are so gullible that you believed that **** was charity.

The funniest part of all of this is your “source” from years ago is likely one of a bunch of guys who are no longer working at UM.

We got Nike lovers in charge now.

 

[ColdCane]

What we got another season or 2 of adidas ?

The rest of this year, plus 2 more. But we can start negotiating (openly) in about 10 months.

We could/should take a pay cut to go back to Nike, though it is unlikely that we will need to do so. And I certainly don’t want to hear any bull**** about “guaranteed payments” vs. royalty-heavy deals. Take the royalties every time. Bet on yourself to win. And then win.

But we also need to stop with this “the players are happy with what adidas gives them”. That is a lie, particularly when they see what athletes at Nike schools are getting.

I’ve asked u several times since u tend to be the cheerleader of this brigade, how & when did Nike treat us like crap?

Nike doesn’t match adidas and UA offers. Was several millions behind.

Could Miami's contract with Nike end?

Nike bats are so bad they let teams out of their contacts. Including Miami.

Nike wasn’t perfect and got sloppy towards the end. If adidas hasn’t been great then we switch. Look at the end of the day I don’t care who we use as long as we get the most amount of money and quality equipment. You two come across as psychopaths with your undying love and support for all things Nike and kill anyone who doesn’t bow down to the check mark. And how dare someone say something positive about someone not Nike.

If nike and adidas bids are equal and we go with Nike, cool.

I will be exiting this thread and walking around town happily in my adidas Miami shoes until we switch brands.

So lemme get this straight:

-U had a problem w/ the Zoom Ibis design? Great, so did I

-U brought up an article on baseball from 2011? Lol. Interesting b/c since 2011, 9 of the 13 NCAA baseball champions r…Nike schools, & 18 of the last 24 champions have been…..Nike schools. Lol So I’m going to assume they didn’t fall off “too” bad.

Pls don’t try to gaslight, either; u made a statement that was called out. Nike refusing to match an offer, an offer that UA also refused to match ≠ treated bad. Some in this fan base conflate Adidas paying more = treated better. I was very specific that I hope Adidas learned its lesson from the UofM debacle in which Adidas paid more for, & UofM couldn’t wait to leave.

Some w/in this fan base r myopic, & can’t see beyond big, bolded letters. We were constantly one of 6 Nike schools that were given Nike’s latest tech, yet they treated us bad. Lol. Complain about designs, but at least we weren’t given:

-mix match jerseys w different fonts & logos
-lied to where an outside entity had to tell our AD that Adidas was in violation of our contract
-wasn’t under investigation by the FBI which hurt our basketball recruiting
-given recycled ocean debris as jerseys
-giving our uni names to a directional school to commemorate a moment at the ground of the Orange Bowl
-shifted Heisman focus from Cam Ward to Travis Hunter including giving him a bigger NIL deal

Like what do ya’ll be talking about? Adidas have hurt us more than u can remotely imagine, but sure let’s continue the same narrative. Since u wanna talk designs, don’t u forget about the Flamingo, The Stencils, The Silver-Wide U, The V, The Tangerine & Aqua, The Futbol Unis, The Strawberry Patches, The 7-11’s, The Fear of God Robotics, etc. uni designs. Don’t forget about the **** poor fan apparel, too.


Lastly their shoes suck
