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 by 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.
