Please no. One of the many things Richt got right was bringing back the classic 80's uniforms.
Blah blah blah. Adidas sucks. They suck in MLS, NBA, NHL, College sports. They’re awfulNike sold us out! We were their first customer, but they never showed us respect! Adidas came in and have been loyal and have done everything The U has asked for! Let’s not go back!
Does everyone forget the reports that for a few years near the end of the contract that Nike had us practicing/playing in old gear? That they wouldn't send us new cleats or practice jerseys when ours were all falling apart/faded? And besides football...apparently that was happening in multiple sports?
You can have your issues with Adidas, which is fine, but Nike doing that to us was wrong when we were one of the biggest name schools they had. It's inexcusable.
Should we ever swap out of Adidas and go back to Nike or Jordan brand, Radakovich had better learn from history and make sure there's a clause in the contract to never allow that **** to happen ever again. If you're going to wear someone's brand, they'd better be willing to supply all the apparel/equipment needed, period.
fanatics has pretty much taken over as the largest apparel outlet for any sport in the country. most of the merchandise is on there and then local stores like canes wear and all canes. when I was at UM, the bookstore used to be a hidden gem for stuff too.This! All of THIS! Although I do think Nike makes a cleaner better looking onfield product. A lot of my frustration is the merchandise. Schools like Ohio State, Georgie, Oregon, or any Nike school for that matter, have the best, coolest, and largest selection of merchandise. Adidas merch looks like lazy clip-art and there’s none of it!
In Nike's defense, we weren't exactly giving them a great product on the field to brag about.....Does everyone forget the reports that for a few years near the end of the contract that Nike had us practicing/playing in old gear? That they wouldn't send us new cleats or practice jerseys when ours were all falling apart/faded? And besides football...apparently that was happening in multiple sports?

This isn't a knock on you either, but are you either A. an old man? Or B. do most of your clothes shopping at Walmart?
One of my favorite shirts was one that had the comic below but said FSU entrance exam. You just don't see as much smart *** stuff any more.

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to our uniforms - but I ******* love the Adidas black uniforms we wear. They're dope - especially when we were kicking Virginia Tech's *** in 2017.
I don’t like Adidas throwback design (anymore) and I don’t like the shade of green or orange. And I don’t like the Miami nights uniforms either. Time to switch it up.
I wasn't trying to make an argument. I was genuinely curious, because if you fit into one of the categories it would explain why you don't care about Nike making our unis.Ok pal.
Moving on, are we talking about two separate issues here though? One is how Miami's uniforms look on the field and the other seems to be access to apparel. Liking Nike because you can buy more stuff is a completely different argument than the jerseys.
Those are the 2 main reasons why someone would think like him. That is why I asked.Ok, the quote itself was funny....but as a response to what hurricaneman posted, it was one of the dumbest comments I have seen on here in a while.
