jdub27 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Home and away 'traditional' look for this year, with an alternate uniform the following year is the deal. From what I know Bubba prefers a throw-back gray look over the black jersey. Glad the info has come out- I assume along with uniforms, the deal includes training clothes, travel clothes, coach's attire, etc?
gundy1124 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I assume along with uniforms, the deal includes training clothes, travel clothes, coach's attire, etc? Ya, it's a head-to-toe contract, that's the terminology they used.
sioux24/7 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Ya, it's a head-to-toe contract, that's the terminology they used. Anything else that you know that we should know?
gundy1124 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Anything else that you know that we should know? still finalizing the agreement I guess......info is a little premature

From what I know Bubba prefers a throw-back gray look over the black jersey. Glad the info has come out- I can get behind that. I like those gray helmets. I've only seen them here and there, as they're a little before me, but I can see that being done well. It's also a little unique with everyone and their mom "blacking out" jerseys or anthraciting.
geaux_sioux Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 I thought Oregon's looked good. Id be all for that color matte green. I still cringe at the thought of Baylors though....
GreenWing Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Oregon's green matte looked great. I honestly had a dream a few weeks ago that we had matte white helmets with a larger ND logo, similar to the logo size of North Carolina's helmets. Let me tell you, it was a glorious helmet dream. 3

I love both these ideas. Not sure about matte white. Does that even exist? White hemlets are no good. There is a reason that very few teams have them.

There is a reason that very few teams have them. Baylor did that as well. I usually like pearl better than matte for white. Like a nice Cadillac. I just hope we get jerseys that look like Wisonsins. Nice, clean, simple.
forksandspoons Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 can't wait to see what the uniforms will look like. about time

UND-1 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I have been doing a little asking around about this apparel contract with Adidas; logistics, teams involved (department wide?), etc. So I found out something that is arguably the most unbelievable/ridiculous thing I have ever heard: one UND program is against the apparel contract with Adidas and wants nothing to do with it because apparently they prefer Nike. Which program do you think it is? Yep, the Men's Basketball program. My sources are pretty good on this one and I am amazed that a program of their level would think they can reject a sponsorship deal that is for the entire athletic department. If hockey had a hangup with something, alright lets talk. But.... To put it in perspective, Adidas sponsors the following basketball programs: Michigan, Miami, Louisville, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kansas, UCLA, Cincinnati, & Nebraska. Plus, they sponsor a boatload of FCS level teams like EWU, Sac State, NAU, etc. Supposedly, the Adidas deal is going through for the majority of the UND teams, most importantly football. I don't know what will happen with BB.
geaux_sioux Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Fire jones ? Any word on $$$? Fire him, as if his teams weren't a big enough joke.

geaux_sioux Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 That is what I heard as well. It is really unbelievable. This should have been a deal where they told Jones and his players to go kick rocks.
sioux24/7 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 This should have been a deal where they told Jones and his players to go kick rocks. That's what I don't understand. How can they just say no we are not participating in this. Makes no sense. Adidas doesn't have much to offer for basketball shoes but still.

Makes me wish Bricktop was our ADhttp://youtu.be/nnLk7dbDWlI

gfhockey Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Whose jones think he is lol I bet men's ball had to pay for everything
NoDakFan Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I think it's bit stupid that the basketball team is against it. They provide many top programs with their equipment. However, I do have a friend who is on the cross country team and dislikes Adidas as a runner. He thinks the shoe's that Adidas makes do not compare to the shoes Nike or companies like Asics or Brooks make.

There are at least 5 Adidas programs that I found in the Top 25 of the X-Country rankings. How does #6 Wisconsin possibly do it? Talk about warriors.
