Chances of dropping Adidas after our contract is up?

I wonder how popular Jordan is with the kids?

Jordan brand is still wildly popular. They may not know what Michael Jordan did during his NBA career, but the brand is still a big thing with kids. You could have the exact same sweatshirt and the kid will choose the Jordan brand because of the Jumpman symbol.

At least we don't have this problem.

Not sure I would classify that as a problem. That Jumpman symbol is going to help them in recruiting. And you can't tell me the kids at UNC aren't going to get things that Michigan won't. Jordan always goes above and beyond for UNC.

Alt. uniforms are welcome among today's recruits and there's data/research to support this claim, but I don't how about the bolded. It's a symbol on a practice helmet and won't be allowed in any games. Is this really going to matter much?

This just seems more like a little added benefit, but I struggle to see it being something that registers significantly with most recruits. Maybe I'm off base.

I didn't mean to imply that the Jumpman on the helmet would help them. Just the Jordan brand in general will help them out.

 
The question I have is how many kids today are wearing Adidas gear over say Nike and Under Armour? Here in Chicago I definitely see kids wearing sporting apparel of all kinds everywhere in the city. Adidas however is definitely not one of brands that sticks out. Here in the chi at least.

 
There has been an uprise in Adidas the last year in Cleveland. Again AAU basketball I have seen a major chain. My view is now skewed the last month because we became an Adidas school. All shoes and gear is Adidas.
