The one area I've always thought UA was better was fan apparel, at least in design.

Yes. I've generally liked their logo/graphic designs and stuff much more than nike. I think most of their shirts have looked better than what i've seen from other teams that have been with nike.

I make better Auburn apparel than UA, Nike, & Peter Millar.

Wore one of my hoodies to the SECCG in Nashville, was sitting on the front row behind Florida's bench... sold 15 of them from people walking up to me during time outs

BUT I need Nike to right by us with the sneakers.

Probably means a big fan base that will purchase massive amounts of Nike gear.

I meant how does our money from the deal compare to others.

UA was supposed to be big money for us because we were their top school until ND came along. But as someone said a part of it was stock that tanked.

“Among top schools” doesn’t give me a good feeling. They know what specific number we are.

From a fan apparel standpoint Nike isn’t very good.

I can’t imagine it being worse than Under Armor

Quality control is much better at Nike. Philippines labor just doesn’t compare to Chinese

Agree. I have always like Nike clothing better. Glad we switched.

I have one ua shirt that I wear constantly and love. The rest are shite with shite qc.

I have 1 hoodie that I bought in like 2007 or 2009. It was shortly after the switch to UA and it is the only AU branded UA clothing that I've ever liked. I bought it for an Iron Bowl because it was going to be chilly. That thing has held up through so much. Anything they've made in the past 10 years is just terrible quality and starts showing its age afte a couple washes.
