Chances of dropping Adidas after our contract is up?

[Landlord]

UA and Nike have much better alternates, but they take the base uniforms and muck them up.

Not for any team with an established, classic look.

Exactly. See Michigan or Tennessee.

That's an alt jersey. Pretty sure the smokey grey is related to the smokey mountains and want to say it was some benefit or respect to the firefighters in the mountains.

Still a better alternate than anything Adidas has saddled us with.

Word is a deal with Adidas is nearly done. Reports are it's in the 10 year, $100M range.

How does that fair to others that have recent re-signed with Adidas? Sounds like good numbers, just unsure.

UCLA just signed with UA (previously adidas) for 12 years totaling $280M.

So not good numbers...

For being the "flagship" program that so many in these types of threads tout us to be, Adidas really does treat us like the red-headed step child.

I take that back, looking through the Forbes article, it looks like we would be at number 5 on that list. Please excuse my previous error.

We'll be fifth mostly because the recency of this contract.

In 2014, adidas signed Nebraska for $2.62M, Kansas for $6.74, and Texas A&M for $7.7M. Their new contracts, next year and 2022 respectively, will be much higher than ours again.

Dang. I've been hoping they'd drop Adidas for as long as I can remember.

I get that it's a more popular brand now, but man, growing up Adidas just had the absolute worst stuff ever. It's like I have a mental block against them.

If that is the case, then it truly shows how far we've fallen.
