Please Not Adidas, Please Not Adidas...

Maybe after last year, nobody wants us wearing their gear.

Maybe we'll just go with Eastbay.

Honestly, why do you think Mason would publish a story on his? Has that really been what this AD or the previous staff has done ever? Deal was probably made and we'll see what happened when uniforms change.

Converse. Team will be playing Chuck Taylors.

That would be amazing. Especially 70s era

We play naked?

Takes "shirts vs. skins" to a whole new, troubling level.

Yeah especially for small forwards who get dunked on. Would make for some uncomfortable highlight pics - or possibly illegal.

I hope UA didn't give Curry all its money before we signed with them.

Why adidas? For basketball they are awful. Unless they want to buy us a practice facility to offset having to wear their second-rate product it is a bad deal. We want excellence, in most things that is.

Not my first choice... or my second choice... but what done is done.

Gotta support it now I guess. Go Adidas!

 

[Quentin Daniels]

They don't have the brand that Nike does, but the gear is good quality and have some great designs.

We're joining Kansas, UCLA, Louisville, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, NC State and Jollay's personal favorite Miami among others. Not the worst company to be in.

Not sure what the problem is. I've had Adidas gear for pretty much every sport I played and like it all. Even switched wrestling shoes to Adidas when I realized they made those too. Nike would have been great too, but there are so many worse options than Adidas.

I am going out right now and buy a pair of green and gold adidas shoes. Suck it Gunnie

Well, yes and no. Those schools are "officially licensed universities". I'm guessing we will be "sponsored school": http://adidas-team.com/resources/links/

I'm sucking it... believe me, I'm sucking it.

I hope we don't become a school where we can't get any Mason gear without an adidas logo plastered on it.

And our unis will probably just off an adidas template, nothing unique. If Louisville and UCLA and Kansas and Indiana have unis in March made from the same template so will we.

They're contractually obligated to play one game in non-custom jerseys that can be ordered from the Adidas catalogue for one game per year.
