SMU going back to Nike

[ClickClack]

If there's any doubt what the players/recruits prefer...just look at Sterling Moore's FB status

All I know is Adidas cranked out a lot of SMU-related merch for sale since we signed up with them. Some nice looking stuff too. I have an SMU track jacket that is bad-a made by adidas.
If Nike will treat the school right, then it can be fine.

But I'm bracing myself for some horrible monstrosity our football team might roll out next season.
Yes, recruits like it. But generally they are horrid looking.

ATTENTION SMU STUDENT ATHLETES: Return all your Adidas gear to Albert. He will be re-issuing it in 5 years when the Nike contract expires.

@Haeli_Martin what Adidas was doing to our feet was down right WRONG! lol

All NIKE uniform submissions are subject to the approval of the school. You don't see UT football sporting a goofy uniform. They're NIKE and they maintain the traditional Darrell Royal uniform. (Interrupted only by Fred Akers and the pant stripes)

No, just a butt-ugly uniform, although that has more to do with that putrid color than the manufacturer!

Adidas is boring and lifeless nothing classic IMO. Adidas design team must be a bunch of out of work accounts or something. Looking forward to see if we get one game a year to wear the pro combat unis.

Love Adidas. Absolutely hate Nike.
But if it brings recruits, I guess I can grin and bear it (I just won't wear it).

I see a future with faux pony fur pants and a mane decal on our helmets.

Maybe a football version of this?

perhaps we get a rendering from someone with some inside info...?

Glad with the change - time to join the 21st century.

Don't forget, June and Phil Knight go way back. In addition, Nike paid a premium to land this deal, so expect us to be treated accordingly. It will be a big plus.

How much of a premium did they pay? I must have missed that information. Or is that inside info?

[GRGB]

I prefer a company that will actually care about us. Neither Adidas or Nike give a poo. I'm massively biased, though

can we sign with Brittish Knights? they would care. Bring back Derrick Coleman!

How about PONY?

I thought ADDIDAS paid a premium to expand their presence in NCAA

[BIGHORSE]

Blue jerseys, stripes on pants and don't change the helmets.

[redpony]

JJ is probably pimping Phil K. to help him find another job real quick after this recruiting fiasco.

GO PONIES!!!

We can get silver helmets. Just imagine Peruna instead of the duck wings:

I'd be ok with pro combat uniforms in tribute to Doak Walker or Jerry Levias.







Even Dandy Don!

It is all bs. Remember, everything always sucks.
