mjd77 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 From what I've read on the internet, Under Armour's biggest problem is their footwear. Auburn, South Carolina, Texas Tech fans have stated that the players/coaches/equipment managers for their teams have all said the same thing. UA's cleats are terrible in terms of fit and quality. At least Adidas started out as a shoe company so they know what they're doing.I've heard this too. Aesthetics aside, Adidas footwear is generally pretty good performance wise so at least they have that going for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I wore both Nike and Under Armour cleats in high school and they both held up very well. The only knock on my UA cleats was a torn lace-loop that occurred because of a freak accident. They weren't as good as my Nikes though. Those were the best cleats I ever owned in any sport. Held up for four years of practices and games and I'd still wear them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I can attest to Auburn complaining about footwear. Football players and managers have complained. Baseball players and basketball players too. Auburn quit using UA basketballs and footballs for the same reasons. They just aren't good enough.I bought one pair of UA shoes last year. They were pretty good...for about 8 months or so. They weren't awful after that, just not nearly as good as I would like.From what I've heard, Auburn players have told UA exactly what they can do to help make the shoes better, and they just don't listen.

BRice16 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Here lies our hopes and dreams for Miami, as they have succumbed to the power of the dark side. May they rest in peace, while wearing the ugliest crap ever.You're an Auburn fan, correct? All I can say is get ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBolt3 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 nononononononononononononoIt's going to be hard to see Miami in Adidas. It would have been easier with Under Armour, but I'm seriously concerned for their look, and I have no connection with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike hasn't had the Canes looking good in years. The Nike look from this past year made then look really good IMO. Yeah that's probably an unpopular opinion but it really made them look like Miami if that makes sense. Adidas will probably really simplify their look. I'd guess something along the lines of Mississippi State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
