Old School Fool Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 The Adidas logo isn't on any official NBA jerseys. But it is here, for blatant marketing purposes. smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The Adidas logo isn't on any official NBA jerseys. But it is here, for blatant marketing purposes. smhJust a general question, but do you guys find that people rip Nike far more than Adidas. IMO, Adidas is just as bad as Nike when it comes to ruining tradition, milking their brand and whoring themselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Adidas is just as bad as Nike when it comes to ruining tradition, milking their brand and whoring themselves out.I think people have more a problem with the teams (college and pro) who whore themselves out to Nike/Adidas/Reebok/Puma rathern than the company itself, which is just doing what companies are supposed to do: make the cream, the cash, dolla dolla bill y'all.

MEANS Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 if your company spent millions and millions of dollars to have their mark on sports uniforms, wouldn't you want them on there? just saying.....and last time i checked Gilbert is an Adidas player. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Love the gold alts. They're great. Hate the fact Adidas put their logo on the jersey JUST for this cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickSixers Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 if your company spent millions and millions of dollars to have their mark on sports uniforms, wouldn't you want them on there? just saying.....and last time i checked Gilbert is an Adidas player.They didn't spend millions to have their mark on the NBA uniforms. The NBA is the last league to not have a manufacturer's logo on the uniform. They spent millions to be the only on-court licensor. Adidas put the logo on the picture just for the cover. That's why we think its lame. I love that Gilbert got the cover, and I think that putting the gold jersey makes sense because it will sell more than the blue jersey would have.

I like 'em.And worst alts in the league are the Mavs' greens with the flouncy wordmark. Now that's bad.and last time i checked Gilbert is an Adidas player.And in today's sports scene, that's a helluva lot more important than whatever team you play for.

garygorilla Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Ever consider the fact that someone on this board might consider using the GD word offensive? Is thatreally necessary? I don't see why I should have to read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Ever consider the fact that someone on this board might consider using the GD word offensive? Is thatreally necessary? I don't see why I should have to read that.I agree. I don't mind hearing the word every now and then and something like it may slip out of my mouth from time to time, but it seems tasteless to type it out and post on a forum- there are many other words that could've been used.

hecticbro Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Get over it. It's not like you've never seen the word before, and it's not like it can (or should) do anyone any harm at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 If seeing "god damn" typed on a screen offends you, might I recommend getting off the Internet?You have the right to be offended by whatever you want, but if we start censoring this board based on the personal religious values of what I am positive is a minority of people on this board, that's taking things way too far.

If he says he'll put a stop to it, good for you. If he says he's gonna let the phrase go, then you can decide whehter or not you want to be here. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'm offended he typed "GD word." As typed above, the phrase is clearly TWO words: "god" and "damn." If he can't even count correctly, why should I hold any regard for his religious views? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 and last time i checked Gilbert is an Adidas player.And in today's sports scene, that's a helluva lot more important than whatever team you play for.You just summed up why I detest the NBA.And as for Nike hating, I think we hate Nike more for the abominations they create, like the Oregon Ducks uniforms and the whole 2 sleeve colors thing, than just for their shameless logo placement.And yeah guys, I'm Catholic, but c'mon and grow some thicker skin. Reading a typed GD isn't gonna ruin my day. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
