mafiaman Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Sounds like OU will debut their home alts this week against Tennessee. Reportedly, they were playing the video about the alternate uniforms when students were picking up their tickets.Sweet! Now hopefully the fans revolt and those things are rounded up and burned immediately after the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEstones Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Bowling Green joins the mass exodus from Adidas! We switched to Nike yesterday, but it should be a while before all our Adidas crap is gone. I also read on Twitter that orange and brown is easier to get from Nike due to their existing deal with the Cleveland Browns.Not saying these recent Nike designs are great (or even good) by any means... but Addidas can't produce ANYTHING that is even somewhat decent looking. Good for BG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The worst part about adidas producing the awful designs is that their sister company, Reebok, is making "decent" designs for the CFL alternates. (They aren't great designs, but anything is better than what adidas makes) "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to join back up with Nike, but anything would be better than Adidas. I want to join the exodus!

I think it's funny, though, that the first link mentions Phil Knight (in 2000) talking about withholding a $30 mil donation to Oregon because they had students involved in the same anti-sweatshop group "The pictures looked good on the computer," Will Brown explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make clothing in asia there's a 99% chance your products produced are produced under less than standard labor conditions. Nothing will change until the industry as a whole opts for fair trade and labor practices as opposed to the suppression of standards by jumping from one 3rd world nation to another.Rumor of Texas Tech wearing throwbacks against Arkansas this upcoming weekend.
