After seeing Tennesse's new Nike uniforms today, just out of curiousity when does our contract with Adidas end?
quote:
The Adidas contract ended yesterday or today. The new contract with them has already been signed.
quote:
Adidas is a French company. /EOT
quote:Clint Dempsey with the 12th Man Foundation said today at a luncheon that the contract just ended and the new one was already signed. I just can't remember if he said it ended yesterday or today.quote:

It technically ended last summer and Cook said we are still negotiating contracts as of a few months ago
quote:
I got this information from the athletic department so take with it what you will, but we signed a new contract with Adidas that will continue for eight years. Better stock up on your triple stripes.
quote:
I didn't have any details on the money, but we are definitely in the top two or three now with them. The only one I could think of being higher might be Michigan at this point.

Little history lesson for you new Ags.
Back in the day A&M had Nike and t.u. also had Nike. Nike consistently showed favoritism to t.u. in little ways. For example, the t.u. shoes had little longhorn logos on them and they wouldn't do that for us. Plus the money we got was like half of what t.u. got or something stupid.
So, can't remember when exactly - early 2000s I think, we split with Nike and signed with Adidas.
BTW - with Nike we never had any 'secondary' uniform combinations. No all whites or Texas on the helmet. All very blah. Barely above what a high school got.

Thanks for the history lesson, brah! That biased, Longhorn obsession driven view on Nike sounds about like the spin that American textbooks put on World War II, proclaiming that we had to jump in and take care of business because the Nazis were pure evil- when in reality the Germans were a war-loathing people who only built up a superior war machine because the Russians and French were colluding to invade the Rhineland through proxies in Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Finland, and the other countries Germany was forced to take over for defensive purposes; all while using Jews as human body shields and then blaming the deaths on the Germans.
No one is buying your Nike tales; especially when the "proof" that they hated us was that Texas got more money and cooler stuff.
quote:Nike basically told us that they wouldn't match us with UT's deal because "you're not as good as Texas and you never will be", at which point we promptly went to Adidas. The biggest irony of that is the last year of Nike in 2006 we beat Texas in Austin, then we beat them first year with Adidas in College Station.
