I like Adidas. They've done well by us in both football and hoops. What I don't like about Adidas tho' is their fan gear sucked and what good stuff they offered fans was hard to find. Team gear was cool but not the fan gear.

Nike, OTOH, will do fan gear right and is obviously a much more popular brand. BUT for a long time Nike wasn't willing to pay us nearly as much as Adidas.

Agreed 100% about the fan gear. Their golf polos and pullovers are downright atrocious and all the t-shirts had some cartoonish bullshite on them similar to the crap you see Gumps strutting around in.

The football uniforms have admittedly looked very good the past two years but it was just too little too late imo. I'm sure you remember the godawful crap they sent UT for the prior 7 or 8 years. There was a different shade of orange on each piece of the uniform.






frick them. Plus, Nike has that swag that all the recruits want. There's a reason fans, current players and recruits are so pumped about the move to Nike.
