WSU151 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Aren't the uniforms provided to Duke by Nike at no cost? Duke is one of Nike's upper-echelon/premier schools. In any event, I doubt game-worn uniforms for a football team are a huge expenditure. Probably $40-$50K for three sets. (paging BRice16) Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Critical Thinker Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Northern Illinois is going to be wearing special commemorative jerseys during their home opener in honor of "Corn Fest", a popular free music festival in Illinois. The jerseys were designed to represent Corn Fest and DeKalb, IL. The jerseys haven't been released yet, but the Corn Fest website has an auction for them beginning August 8th, so I'm assuming that's when we'll see them.Is there a worst unis of the year award? These have quite a bit of potential. It's _____________ and Toledo still sucks.[insert time here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstein Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 One of my co-workers is an Alum of Duke University where he played the TE position for the team and he said that the uniforms that where introduced a few weeks ago are indeed only to be worn this year and they will have new uniforms next year. I don't know if he is right, but I asked him how they could afford to buy these uniforms and he said the University has more money than people realize and the fact that season tickets raised up to $300 a ticket this year could be a factor. Is Duke going through some sort of rebrandDuke had its rebrand in the summer of 2011 - consisted of making the Iron Duke D the primary mark, the Devil Head the secondary mark, getting rid of the Iron Duke D with the Devil Head (which was the primary mark). The rebrand also removed the Duke Basketball logo from uniforms etc., but it still remains as a secondary mark. Duke also tweaked the block word mark very slightly and the number font was slightly modified from its standard block, most notably in the 2s and 5s. The football uniforms are more consistent but still slightly inconsistent. That was also the year that Duke's new long-term all sport Nike Team Sports contract which had been transitioning for three years when the latest deal was signed, completed becoming the supplier for all 26 varsity sports.

To be worn against Arkansas.Duke's been a top tier Nike school for years (they signed the new Nike Team Sports contract in 2008 as I noted in the last post and finished transitioning in all sports with the "rebrand" in 2011. Most Duke sports have been Nike supplied since the mid-2000s with men's basketball going back to 1993-4 and women's basketball going back to 1995-6. Duke gets all the top line stuff in every sport except, for some reason, it uses the catalog ordered uniforms in football (it has all of the other nike football gear that the big schools have though). Duke is platinum elite in men's basketball, silver elite in women's basketball and gets all sorts of innovative gear in men's lacrosse and even gets the top line gear for baseball despite not making the NCAAs since 1961.

Their football programs are on 'Tiers.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 i don't think a school that was using the destroyer template until last year could be an elite nike school for football anywayFrom every picture I've seen so far, OU will continue to use the destroyer template for their standard uniforms again this year. Though, their alternates are the PC Hypercool template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
