I wonder if the whole athletic department will change to a new company or will it be just hockey?

That's actually a very good question... I'd bet any contractual tie to addias would remain for the dept.... itbwould be interesting to find those details on contract... Im sure a FOIR could obtain it.

If I were a bettin' man, ... 

Adidas is done with NHL jerseys after 2023-24. (New NHL vendor for 2024-25.) 
Last time the NHL changed suppliers one year later UND changed to the same supplier. 

I'd guess UND goes to the new NHL vendor in about 2025-26.

....but I've never understood why anybody would buy a jersey and not customize it.

I've never understood the jersey wearing crowd.
I didn't earn the right to wear it. 

(Heck, I barely earned the right to wear the jerseys I did!  ) 

 

Full disclosure: I was gifted one by friends and feel obliged to wear it with them once a season.

I see Nike coming back to hockey. Although, DU has New Balance, which is just a very random hockey supplier. One I would’ve never guessed. The team gear makes sense. But jerseys is just different. 
 

AHL still uses CCM, but UND moved to adidas from CCM. Time will tell.

Call the marketing department at Scheels headquarters in Fargo and ask how the UND Hawks merchandise sells in stores and online and the answer will be one or two words...."poorly" or "not well".

 

I don't doubt that it sells "poorly" compared to the old Fighting Sioux but according to a "white shirt" that I know who works there, they move a decent amount of product. I mean they have to order minimums and if they don't sell you would see that stuff on the clearance rack and whenever I go into Scheels, it doesn't seem like there is a lot on the clearance rack.

Ok ill turn it back to the real thread here.

Jersey Auction going on now.

One holdover Reebok from the Brien days... wonder how many they have left squirreled away to spice up the auctions.

Those things used to bring in a ton of money.

Really tailed off for revenues and sale prices.... 

 

There should be a lot more to hit the auctions as now that Adidas has ceased making hockey sweaters... id imagine a slight redesign will be due for next season.

I wonder what company won the contract for UND?

Someone will likely over pay for that jersey in the auction for what it is. It’s ultimately no different than one that could’ve been bought at the SiouxShop, but customized nicely. Obviously they’re impossible to find for sale. I’m curious how high it will go. 
 

I also would love to see the room where all the auction ready jerseys are. Would be fun to view them all.

I agree with you about Nike coming back and how weird it is to see New Balance on a hockey jersey. However, it could be a different company who makes the jersey but Denver might have a deal with NB so they put their name/logo on them.

There isn't a jersey with the current nickname.  More like...

Do the other sports have jerseys with the nickname on them?

Not prominent enough.  Isn't that the argument when UND has the patches on the hockey jerseys?

I also see the logo on the helmets

You're right.

Instead of down the leg and across the chest it should also be on the white piece on the mask top bar (says Riddell on Tommy's helmet) and on the back of the helmet neck protect pad too. Wait, they have that last one. 

The logo as a shoulder patch would be a nice touch.

You asked. I gave an example: football has a jersey, and pants. And they use the logo extensively. 

Please now show me the hockey jersey with the words "Fighting Hawks".

UND still has a hard goods contract with CCM (skates, pads, sticks, etc).  For hockey Addidas is just jerseys pretty much.

Show me football jerseys when the nickname was Sioux that extensively used Fighting Sioux and the logo?  Not saying they didn't use them at one time, but I don't recall them being a huge part of the uniforms, especially in the last decade or so of the nickname.

yes those details... they do matter.

 

according to Josh Kosman of the N.Y. POST. Despite a potential sale, Adidas will be "keeping the CCM apparel license, not transferring it to the new CCM owner." A source said that starting with the '17-18 season, Adidas will "get rid of the CCM name on NHL apparel, replacing it with Adidas." However, the source added that CCM will "still be seen on NHL helmets and sticks." Kosman notes presently, CCM is the "official licensee for the NHL throwback jerseys, and many team sweatshirts and T-shirts" (N.Y. POST, 3/16).

The company (CCM) is currently owned by Canadian private "Birch Hill Equity Partners", after the Adidas Group sold the brand for around $100 million in 2017.

Today Adidas and CCM are separate organizations.
