If there was an Adidas logo the polo should be half off. No reason for you to pay $80 and advertise for them.

I've been saying this FOR YEARS...
It's Adidas....it's SUPPOSED to be crap....
1. It's European, therefore..
2. The style is tailored to soccer fans.
3. Quality is THE suck...
4. And did I mention style, or lack thereof???

Must be a helluva deal Summy has with them.....

It might be a "European (actually German)" company but if not for one of the greatest American Olympians in History (and black nonetheless) Adidas would probably not be the same company they are today.

Furthermore, as the American GI's were occupying German they saved the factory and began wearing the shoes, which they really liked.

Therefore, the US has had a huge impact on the company.

lol. Poor people.

If the fabrics on these Polo's are polyester performance fabrics, which do not breath and will pick, heat sealing is much better than embroidery as embroidery tends to put a lot of stress on the fabric and picks, needle cuts, and runs happen a lot. Embroidery that would not damage the fabric would look like sheet with not a lot of stitches in it. The pellon backing required embroidery on the performance fabrics is hard and cardboard like, not comfortable at all.

Adidas products are usually better than UA products, or at least that is my take and I make products for both companies. Plus Adidas truly cares much more about the end use and user of the product as opposed to UA whom care much more about the UA appearance of a product. UA is overpriced too. Those are my personal opinions based on 26 years of making clothing.

On the polyester fabrics that are so popular today heat sealing is the way to go.

As mentioned above, the heat seal/silicon logos are actually much better on dri-fit shirts (and often just as expensive or moreso than embroidery). You may not like the look of it, but this isn't a downgrade in quality like the OP implies.

People claiming Adidas isn't popular must never leave the house. While standing in line at the concession stand at the movies. Two Aggie basketball players were wearing... Adidas flip flops. One was Hogg and i forget the name of the other.

Walk the mall and see how many kids 10-20 are wearing Adidas gear. Adidas has climbed up a lot in the last 10 years

Texags must be a magical place where only odd things happen to the masses.

I have 4 Adidas A&M polos. All have the "screen print" logo on them. I may actually have more than 4 but I wasn't wasting any more of my time looking.

Non of them have a the logo peeling off or show any signs of falling apart. They were all bought last season and the previous season.

---

I also have one that is going on 5 years old, purchased during the 2012 season. No issues with logo coming off.

imagine that, players, who get free Adidas gear, are wearing Adidas.


your overall point is valid, but you chose a poor example on that one.

They weren't A&M or maroon/white

you think the athletes only get a&m branded stuff?

I recently purchased a pair of Adidas breathable-mesh-type "athletic" shoes.. mainly because I thought they would keep my feet cooler than leather, and they were on sale.. My fashionable, trendy 19 yr-old niece saw them and commented something like, "Hey, I like your shoes.. I really like Adidas".. That surprised me, because I didn't think that Adidas was "cool".. But, apparently, younger people think they are..

I have a pair of KithxNakedxAdidas CS2 NMDs that anyone that is less than 50 yrs old will tell you are bad ass shoes. Adidas is bringing it. The NMD tricolors are still a highly sought after sneaker.

The sideline polos are not a priority for them....

Looks nothing like this

Those might be the ugliest pair of shoes I've ever seen

Yea, never understood why anyone would wear a pair of Toms.

Yes, but remember... What young person that wants to keep up with all the new trends would even wear some ugly, cheap made crap from a "soccer brand"

Rule #1

Is the idea to buy something hideously ugly and use that to prove you can make anything look cool? Those things should be burned.

Tens of thousands of people disagree with you. And frankly, seeing how most of you dress to games, I will take my fashion advice from elsewhere, thank you very much.

You all do realize that in the last 2 years the venerable "Stan Smith" Adidas tennis shoe has sold record numbers around the globe, to the point where Adidas hasn't been able to manufacture enough. Adidas keeps producing some bad ass retro shoes like the Stan Smith and Samba, and there is one other one I can't remember that are as good and cool, and better now out of better materials, now as they were in the 1970's.

I have philosophical issues with Adidas, but those come with working with them over the course of 25 years or so, but in terms of product my hat is off to them and they are a very "worldly" and easy company to deal with as compared to others. I can tell you all this, Adidas appreciates A&M a hell of a lot more than Nike would (not that Nike is bad, but they are the 800 pound gorilla in the US and they know that) and Adidas pays attention to ALL SPORTS not just football.

I will use my dear departed mother and grandmother's advice about UA. I am sure you all know what that was.

I have some heat seal logos that I would like to put on various items.

I have put a hot iron on top of it to make it stick to the fabric below, but it doesn't stick well.. I am afraid to keep the iron on any longer for fear of melting or scorching the underlying fabric.

Should I use a steam iron? What is the best way to do this?

Oh the fun we could have with this.

I like what you're thinking. I'll start tomorrow.

Millions of people buy Justin Bieber records, doesn't make it right. The toms look better than those.

I'd say that too if I was the one wearing them.

I wonder if he might go to work for them after he leaves here. If so, Adidas might have to get used to no sales in November.

Anyone outside the 17-22 age snickers at anyone wearing something as ridiculous as that.

Boom

Agree 100%. Embroidery is annoying and can chafe, and doesn't stretch and flex with the modern light weight breathable synthetic fabrics. Let it go. Screen printing the logo is simply better if done well.
