I like the feel of UA's apparel more than Nike, and they're a smaller business.



Real reason: they don't have sweatshops full of children making their clothes.


ETA: when I played basketball, a pair of Nike shoes fell apart on me and also fricked up my ankle according to my doctor.

Did he say why that happened? Curious cause I have noticed doctors will say things like that without really knowing anything about the shoe.

Lack of support in the ankle plus no arch support, which was on me.



That and the tread falling off.

Makes sense, Nike does make good basketball shoes but doesn't sound like u had the right pair.

I guess you're the one they talk about when Auburn fans talk about how classy their fan base is.

On topic - They've ruined Oregon with their fashion show gig.

Is Auburn hooked up with Adidas?

I was at Adidas America HQ here in Portland and there was an Adidas sign that said "Adidas is All In". Meant to take a picture but was too lazy.

What? Nike Dragged Oregon kicking and screaming out of the bottom-25 BCS teams all time and turned them into a perennial top-25 team.

They also make the uniforms for Alabama, Penn St., USC and a whole host of other "traditional" teams. Auburn is about the only uniform set made by UA that isn't an absolute clusterfrick. Adidas makes nice uniforms, I suppose, but they basically just follow 2 or 3 years behind Nike.

Not when counting BCS Championships:

Nike holds a 5-1 record in the current streak.

2006:
2007:
2008:
2009:
2010:
2011

I think Auburn's lone championship is the only one from a UA team. Nike had quite a streak before then with every one of them before except Tennessee's? Was Tennessee Adidas back then?

Is the outline patch of a logo worth flipping out over?
