ruttep Posted Friday at 05:14 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:14 PM 1 hour ago, HOOVER said: Outside of some of the terrible uniform & helmet designs, which we now know aren't fully (or at all) the fault of Nike, I agree with this 100%. The upgrade in both uniform quality, design, and fan apparel is light years ahead of what Reebok gave us. Under Armour, New Era, New Balance, etc. cannot design & deliver the same quality and depth of product, and while adidas could probably match production scale, they've never excelled in fan wear and their uniform builds have always been second or third rate in quality & aesthetics to Nike. So, that truly only leaves Fanatics, in my opinion, with Project Rock/UA as a wild card, because Dwayne could source additional investors to do that kind of a deal, but they'd still need Fanatics for production on fanwear. I don't see a better option than Nike at this moment. The one exception to what you're saying about Nike's improvements is their failure (or refusal) to manufacture any equipment with dazzle fabric. Teams like the Raiders and the Saints (when they don't make [MOD EDIT] decisions) look significantly worse in flat versions of what are supposed to be metallic colors. Other than that, I agree. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're just trying to dump all the blame on Nike to avoid scrutiny themselves. What Nike does deserve blame for is partnering with a company that is synonymous with cheap crap and then being surprised that the result was cheap crap. And if the MLB is any indication, it's also far too soon to start celebrating the job Fanatics is doing with the NHL. Remember, the MLB was still using Majestic's specifications for a while after the Nike/Fanatics deal started. Once Fanatics eventually starts tinkering with the NHL's uniforms, I expect the quality to plummet. It wasn't Fanatics putting out the memo, it was MLB who confirmed that Nike was behind the issues. It's their swoosh on the uniforms, so they're the ones who have final say in the product. I'm not going to defend the quality of the fan merchandise they put out, but there's been no evidence of them being responsible for poor on-field gear. I expect the "muhhh...Fanaticsbad" hivemind thinking from people on twitter/reddit, but these boards should have a better understanding of the nuances of uniform design. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My God that emoji infuriates the crap out of me. Every damn team in the league's social media person uses it. Not too surprised, honestly. If we stick with the superstition theory of uniform combo choices, they already lost in white/green/green and white/white/green, of course they're trying something different. Of course, they made the wrong choice, considering that white/green/white was also available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like it, and if the poll where the Saints were voted as the best uniforms in the league is any indication, so does the average fan. 1 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
