illini1 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I was watching the opening of the draft where they were talking about Virginia Tech. They had the VT alumni standing up on stage and they all had VT hats. The problem was they were Nike hats. I bet Reebok isn't too happy about that after all the money they paid the NFL for exclusive rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I think they should fine the NFL, and fine them huge.Then take that fine money and donate it to VT.

Anyone notice that Adrian Peterson had a Nike pin on while sitting at the table but then as he walked up to the podium one of the NFL guys stopped him and took it off?

ClutchIsEverything Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Well we don't know the whole story but either who ever got the hats screwed up, or RBK couldn't get the hats there in time. Either way it looks bad.Though, does RBK have a college license? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone notice that Adrian Peterson had a Nike pin on while sitting at the table but then as he walked up to the podium one of the NFL guys stopped him and took it off?Yeah, funny I noticed that almost right away. And on a personal note, I think everyone wearing VT pins on their suits is a little ridiculous. Unless of course the money being spent on those pins is being donated to a victim's fund or something like that. Army Commo - "You can talk about us, but you can't talk without us!"

pcgd Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I was at the draft for work...A few things...all 5 players that were there were Nike Players. Their entire families had Nike lapel pins on their suits. Maybe not on stage (I couldn't see) but outside they were definatly there. The entire Russell family was wearing them.The VT thing...I'm sure Reebok doesn't care in this case. Maybe something was said internally, but plenty of players wear Nike Shoes during games. Its not an exclusive contract for everything. The only exclusive is NFL headwear and jerseys and I think player stuff (IE...Brett Farve T-shirts). Team shirts/shorts/etc. and footwear are not exclusive. And reebok does have college rights. Not sure what the limitations are but there are certain things they can produce. I'm not sure if headwear is one of those. And of course its more of a school to school issue than a NCAA wide issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
