The sole of my 2 year old Addidas golf shoe just fell off a few weeks ago. Crappy quality is the norm these days.


i actually have a few golf shirts from 5-6 years ago from UA that are still in greatshape.

Don't own of their sneakers. I just dislike the company and all the GDIs that wear everything else but the non CFB coaches polos.

So are the other big three, but most Americans are willing to pay a premium for being marketed rather than quality product...

Jacob's went for the money, and I get it, but it was a short-term financial win and now Auburn is gonna be left holding the bag. Yet another reason to fire that hayseed and get someone in here that has some vision.

Plus UA ruined our Orange. Time to get back to the most regal colors in all of college football, burnt orange and navy blue, like God intended.

Under armour is not in serious trouble. Their days of double digit growth are over but that happens to all companies. Nike’s sales are declining as well. Company needs to control costs and look for sustainable growth opportunities.

I hope they continue to get beaten up... at some point soon i think it will be back in buy territory. I thought the stock was way overpriced. as for the clothes... they for themost part are too. I have a couple of shirts from them a golf shirt and they are nice but yeah... just a fuzz overpriced.

I like UA quality (which exceeds Nike and Adidas, IMO), but it's just too gaudy usually. I don't want 12 inch inseam golf shorts, I don't want two tone or gradient flat bill golf or Auburn hats. I want synthetic adult clothes that fit well.

Adidas for a while was making synthetic polos where the logo was pretty well hidden/on the sleeve/etc. I wish they'd all do more of that.

UA is synonymous with gym wear, and that logo plastered on 80 dollar polos will keep a lot of us from wearing them to work or wherever.

Also, they can't complaint about the Currys when they continue to put out versions that look like absolute dogshit. Not that I'd buy basketball shoes, but when they come out and every time people go "that looks like Payless," maybe you need to run that by some folks before launch.

I agree... they should have rebranded their outerwear logo. Not too late either.

Hopefully we go with Nike.

Hell let's be different and go with Jordan

Anything but staying with UA or Addidas

UA has hired former Nike designers, for the running line at the very least. Their track spikes are starting to look like Nike now. So maybe that's a step in the right direction.

I've never seen anyone wearing UA shoes, not even those curry abominations.

He only gets a pass because lebron James and Kobe started out with ugly shoes to.

Nike brings the basketball recruits!

Their running shoes (trainers) are trash, but they are making up some ground with the competition stuff. I also think their cleats are coming around to where we were when we signed the contract and started wearing them.

Knowing Jacobs, he'd probably go with Big Baller Brand

I find that it's best in Nike for this.
