JayMac Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Nothing gives a shoe design swagger like writing the word "swagger" in capital letters across the upper. In the Miami Vice font, too. How original. Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing and a miss.It's not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 As a Canes fan and a NIKE fan, I'm thinking that Adidas is trying too hard already. Giving out custom shoes (that all suck) to alumni that wore Nike stuff. The current set (is it current anymore) wasn't great and needed a few tweaks, but it was pretty solid compared to their last few sets. The custom shoes used the "canes" font so I assume that will stay (or with a minor tweak). The U equipment twitter said Adidas takes over in September '15 for 12 years...so who outfits the football team in August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas takes over ASU's contract in July. I'd assume it's probably the same for Miami. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Each contract with each school could be dated differently based on calendar year, academic year, or even athletic year (e.g. cws runs after school gets out). Ideally you'd want to switch over the day after the athletic season ends so there's no overlap. Also all contracts are negotiable and can be amended if both parties are willing.

alxy8s Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Snoop Dogg/Lion(n?), apparently an endorser of adidas, posted this to Instagram. Like Dan Lebatard's producer said, "Can't think of a better symbol for the last decade of Canes football than going from Nike to Adidas." This sucks.

hailstateunis Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It is being reported that September 1, 2015 is the switch date. Doesn't seem very practical. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That's a custom jersey they gave Snoop. I believe something similar was done when ASU switched over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Tentative opening day for football is September 5. I haven't seen schedules for any other sports, so it's likely none of them start before September 1. Even with the switch, the teams might have access to footwear and other non-uniform-related gear during the summer practices.

mjd77 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 They better not put The U on the front.The NCAA probably wouldn't even allow that, thank God. I still remember the Baylor basketball uniform that got banned last season and the reason given was that you can only have the school name or team name on a jersey. I'm sure the same rules would apply to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they didn't wear them this year but I know they have in the past.I think the rule changed before this past offseason. Mississippi State wore "Hail State" on the front in the 2013 Egg Bowl, but they were forced to replace "Hail State" with "Mississippi State" on the DWS 100 jersey in 2014. I'm pretty sure "The U" would be outlawed.Also, remember the "Anchor Down" debocale for Vanderbilt. Though that was on the nameplate. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something will have to be worked out to move the effective date up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
