Should be a big upgrade for the schools who currently have the Primeknit/Shockweb mess. Hopefully we see most of the top Adidas schools switch to this template in 2018. http://news.adidas.com/US/Latest-News/adidas-to-debut-the-primeknit-a1-football-uniform-for-the-2018-army-all-american-bowl/s/3992901a-6da2-457c-abc5-92ba8c7caa0d Side note: This will be the last year the Army sponsors the game unless a new deal is signed. I wouldn't be surprised if adidas takes over as game sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 While improved, that template still sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 While I don't like that pattern on there I think it will be less glaring on gameday than during photoshoots. I think we'll see it at the Senior Bowl as well, hopefully minus the numbers inside Reese's cups. The numbers for the All American Bowl will be hard to see on TV with no interior color and the spray can treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 70's inspired uniforms are stale and adidas has a new template. They should just go back to the early 90's maroon/white scheme, no striping anywhere on the uniform. a&m is one of those schools that looks best with minimal uniforms.

MJWalker45 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Since the Dolphins went out of their way to keep the halftime and postgame off the field, they could have fixed those end zones with the generic Miami and Wisconsin or team logos in the diamonds.

jgiff17 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I agree with the early 90’s look. I was young then and loved the maroon white maroon look. Nothing fancy (until the crazy Nike neckline) just a uniform, that works with some schools and A&M is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately the helmets aren't made by adidas. Other than the sleeve design, most of what UCF has can transfer over well to adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the schools are the desperate for cash so they have to go Adidas and look silly wearing them. I don't know how Adidas is remotely even close competiting with Nike but yet somehow they are. Sorry I will take the swoosh and UA over the three stripes anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdu Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 TCU did not wear purple tops one single time this season so I would expect a new uni set for the Horned Frogs. They have had the frogskin unis for 3 seasons now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how desperate Adidas is to stay relevant in college football and basketball, but it seems pretty clear they are competing by grossly overpaying to win over some of these schools. Of course at the same time, I'm sure the school will always take the highest bidder no matter what brand it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Cardinals Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Definitely an unpopular opinion, but this is my favorite uniform in the current TCU set #9 LSU vs. TCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Those collars and cuffs are the worst parts of TCUs set. If they were at least the same color there would be marked improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're actually rather cheap, only $70 at last check. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas is a split personality company, they basically let their top tier schools walk due to lousy product and lowish bids. Now they do a 180 and are overbidding for lesser schools just to hold market share and not get completely squeezed out. The big difference is that they can afford to play this game because they are a global shoe company with a very strong foothold in the soccer market. Nike can do the same because they are a global shoe company that owns basketball and just about every other shoe category. Under armour on the other hand does not have a strong shoe business or a mature global footprint and relies too heavily on apparel for profit. They have been wildly overbidding for apparel contracts and their sales are tanking which has put them in a serious bind. In short, there may not be enough room for 3 suppliers to be profitable in cfb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
