uk-owns-iu Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 As soon as they sign a new contract, they need to put some of that $$$ into a new Orange Bowl replica stadium closer to their campus. They have destroyed their brand and cursed their team by moving into whatever the Miami Dolphins' stadium is called now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt UA changes the iconic U. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 As soon as they sign a new contract, they need to put some of that $$$ into a new Orange Bowl replica stadium closer to their campus. They have destroyed their brand and cursed their team by moving into whatever the Miami Dolphins' stadium is called now.Not going to happen....it's a small campus in a residential area.That's the crux of the issue, they probably should be closer to campus but cannot be too close as the school is in a middle/ upper middle class residential area. The key is to begin winning again because when they're good they attract more than just alumni and others connected to the school. It will be interesting to see if Shalala's replacement as President relaxes the rigorous admission and academic standards that athletes are now held to at Miami, they've got to keep the Miami metro kids from leaving.

MJWalker45 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 After watching the Miami Beach Bowl, is it feasible to split games between both stadiums? It is where the Orange Bowl used to be.Also, I saw a Miami basketball replica jersey at Ross today. Caught me by surprise since I'm in Texas.

Caught me by surprise since I'm in Texas.The Marlins aren't interested in splitting time with a football team. That's the whole reason why they built Marlins Park. Miami needs a 35-45,000 stadium a half hour within campus, or else the football program will continue to faulter if they don't play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Is Nike going bankrupt or something, cause they're losing high profile clients in the world of soccer as well - Man Utd, Arsenal, Porto, now possibly Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Is Nike going bankrupt or something, cause they're losing high profile clients in the world of soccer as well - Man Utd, Arsenal, Porto, now possibly Barcelona.I wonder if the money they have to pour into the NFL has anything to do with it. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Some of this is adidas and Under Armour just throwing money into the teams they're getting. Nike isn't going broke and they have tons if teams that they've got no reason to overspend to keep Miami. The U isn't even an elite ACC team so right now IF they switch someone else will move up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just a case of deciding where they want to project their branding. Manchester United went to adidas because they overpaid United's actual worth. Nike offered £60 mil a year, adidas offered £75 million a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd77 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Obviously, Nike is big enough and has enough market share to be able to pick and choose exactly who they want to work with, so they should never be in a situation where they feel they have to overpay for anything. UA is still up and coming and trying to get their branding to bigger programs and to grab a little bit bigger piece of market share. And frankly, I don't know what the hell Adidas is trying to do.

FTRPresentation Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Under Armour won't help too much with the retail basketball gear. Auburn is in the 3rd year of wearing the current uniforms, and I just now saw a jersey, let alone the shorts, in the stores. And the material is so flimsy and paperthin. I wear the old jersey at games and they are much better quality. The UA logo is actually embroidered on on the old jerseys, whereas the entire current one is screen printed. On the back of the jersey, above the nameplate, is a small AU button. The online stores show that the retail jerseys do indeed have a button. The one I saw yesterday had the button screen printed. It was pretty lackluster.As a Maryland fan, agreed with your opinion on the replica jerseys. I own quite a few MD ones and they aren't great. I also own a bunch of MD UA shorts, those are nice though. Huge fan...very comfortable and they look good.My biggest problem with UA retail on replicas?...They don't offer many options. Even for UA's flagship school in Maryland. For football there are plenty of different jersey colors. But in hoops? They have the 15th ranked team in the nation...and still haven't released replicas for hoops season.Did they announce yet if they are signing with UA or Adidas?

The contract runs through spring 2016. So we've got a while.And I agree on basketball options. Like I said, I finally saw one of the current jerseys in stores. In the third year of this design. We only get maybe 2 different numbers to chose from. Auburn likes to do more with custom numbers and such. Not sure if that's just AU or what. But yes, UnderArmour makes some amazing shorts.
