I know everyone has their tastes, but do y'all generally like the look Adidas has for you?

I ask because obviously TAMU sports the same color scheme. Personally, I hated Adidas for us at first, but I gotta say since we made the SEC move, they've made our current uni and alternates my absolute favorites.

I'm a fan of y'all's too (although I usually do a double take when y'all are on screen because of the color similarity), but I know y'all have had some different looks in the past.

Looking forward to playing y'all, as always, and safe travels for any of you coming to Kyle Field

I've been the conductor of the #FireAdidas train for awhile on this board. It's kinda my thing. What's saved them is our "anniversary" uni's from last year. So they finally went with a basic, simple, classic design and universally everyone loved it. Who whoulda thunk it?


and

I look forward to an excellent game.

I hated the stripes and the bats, but other than that I generally don't have any complaints.

They're doing wonders for our basketball program so that's a large upside that you can't ignore.

Overall I would say Adidas has been a good move. Our deal gets better and better, and we definitely wouldn't have gotten the same attention from Nike. It feels like our voices have definitely been heard more since the switch.

Maroon is my favorite colour.

I like the A&M Maroon better: seems darker.

We had the best uniforms when Croom was coach; but the on field results were not so good, although he did beat AlaBama 2 years in a row.

Don't like all Maroon: too much.

Will root for the other team when we wear BLACK, even AlaBama. Our colours are Maroon & White!

For those who don't know, I root for whoever plays AlaBama.

Edit: the ones we have are OK.

I believe so.


And DD has some points about basketball.


Overall they get a pass.

These were the "anniversary" jerseys from last year. You can see the 100 year patch on the front for how long we have had Davis Wade.



These were from two years ago. This was an egg bowl alternate. We only use gold for those.

Both of those are tremendous

I wish Adidas would set both of our schools up with alternates when we play each other, a la 2012. Gives them an excuse to try some different designs and actually makes sense given the color schemes of the teams involved.

They set A&M up with pretty ugly ice uniforms last year for the State game.

I loved the helmets for those. Only hated the jerseys.

I'll say one good thing about Adidas. Last year they made some very nice toboggans and scarfs in the throwback style. One side of the scarf has the fight song on it, they look like the scarfs a soccer club uses. Very nice. My favorite purchase from last year.

Those atrocious white helmets alone negates that statement.

Really? I always thought y'all had the darker maroon. Maybe the helmets throw me off. Ours are matte or whatever, and y'all's are glossy so maybe that makes 'em seem darker to me. Or maybe it's just that y'all's maroon contrasts more starkly with y'all's white facemasks than ours does with our gray. Idk, spent way too much time thinking about it I guess

I'm a huge fan of all-maroon for A&M. Prefer it to the all-white look, frankly.

Football: Anny unis are great. Only thing missing is the interlocking GOAT logo. 2013 egg bowl unis were 100 emoji, but all the other alts have been really bad IMO.

Basketball: I remember going to a game against aTm last year and it looked like we were having a maroon vs. white scrimmage. Literally the exact same bottoms. The cream 'STATE' unis are fresh AF, though.

Baseball: Talk about a rollercoaster. We've had some perfect unis, the worst unis of all time, and everywhere inbetween.


When it all boils down, we are getting paid way more than we should because adidas needs us. While I'd like to go nike, the benefits of Adidas are just too great to make a switch for a different logo.

Didn't really like the White helmets; but, we should have them for an option, early in the year, to keep heads cooler.
