Chase Parham says that Adidas has made a big push to get OM. Their fans are melting down on twitter. Wonder how much of that comes from the fact we are an Adidas school and they can't fathom being equal to us on any level.
I miss the Umbro brand from the 90s, early 2000s.

Maybe they've seen the ugly as-s stuff Adidas has provided us and that's why the 'fans are melting down on Twitter'. I would love to have somebody else BUT Adidas here.......

Nike was just removed from the S&P 500 isn't correct - they were removed from the S&P 100, but still considered a big deal to some

All the ones I see out in the wild these days are somehow in IMMACULATE condition. It's unreal
I've got one and I'm never throwing that treasure away. Luckily, it was too small (body by SixPack*) when I was handed it that fateful day, so it's never been worn.

Still in mint condish, for any of you who want to bid on it.

ETA: I also have a Rick's Rowdies T-shirt but I wasn't a student at the time so I never felt worthy of wearing it. Caught it from a t-shirt cannon.

Go woke, go broke, is a very real thing.
It’s actually due to a total lack of innovation across the board in their products. It’s been a horribly run company for decades.

They have still not figured out an original marketing strategy that isn’t somehow related to MJ, and he is nearly a quarter century removed from his last NBA action with the Wizards. Today’s 18-35 year olds do not give a single 17 about Michael Jordan. The company has been a laughing stock to everyone in the business world for quite awhile.

That and they shifted their business model to a more web based direct to consumer model rather than selling through brick and mortar stores. I read somewhere that they gave up display and shelf space in big retailers to other brands thinking that their customer base was loyal to the brand and would shift to online purchases. It was a bad assumption.
