BBTV Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Are those both from this season?Not sure how or why Nike / adidas would sign an agreement without getting exclusivity... unless this school is so bush league that they just go to the local sporting goods store to order their uniforms and just picked what was on sale.

Spammy Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 They just signed a deal with Adidas 1 week before the game and they could only get their home jerseys next year because of budget... so the Adidas rep said it was fine if they just seam ripped the Nike symbol off all football apparel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 How does budget have anything to do with it? If you're signing a deal with a supplier, shouldn't said supplier supply you with the uniforms? Otherwise, what's the benefit of signing the deal?

Otherwise, what's the benefit of signing the deal?It may be true, I have heard of some teams in the past only get a new home or away uni do to budgets, then got the matching on later in the year, or the next year. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 1-AA teams only get so much gear free. If they had a Nike deal that they had to pay out of it might explain the uniform issue. When Adidas bought into supplying MLS for 10 years Puma wouldn't up out of their contract. Maybe Nike did the same? Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Nike did the same?so if they don't get the gear for free, what's the benefit to the school of signing an exclusive-supplier contract?

Maybe Nike did the same?so if they don't get the gear for free, what's the benefit to the school of signing an exclusive-supplier contract?Because they get a significant discount from the MSRP if they are under contract. If they paid out of pocket, they would have to pay whatever the retailer wished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Not sure why Adidas or Nike would even do a contract with them anyway. Seems almost like a waste of time, seems like more of a Russel, New Balance, or Champion type of school haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
