They are also getting Tennessee back.
Good. Less money for Phil Knight and Oregon to help buy a Natty.
How common is it for programs to switch these contracts? I don't pay close enough attention except to know that NU has been with Adidas since the days when we were winning Natty's.
It seems as of the last 3-4 years, somewhat common.
Miami, Tennessee, Notre Dame, UCLA, Rutgers, Washington, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Auburn, Cal and Arizona State; off the top of my head, have all made moves within Under Armour, Nike and Adidas.
In my opinion, Adidas needs to step up their game in the football jersey and gear department. Their jerseys all seem to have a weird look and fit, sometimes chintzy look. Their "swag" also very lacking and weird designs.
Under Armour seems to be dying off. They just lost Auburn, South Carolina and Texas Tech. They still have ND, Wisconsin, NW and Utah. Their founder (Kevin Plank) is a Terps alum, so they still sport that gear.
Unfortunately, Phil Knight has an estimated net worth in the neighborhood of $35B to $40B. 'B' as in billion.
Well it hasn’t helped them yet. We’ll see how they are this year after replacing a qb. But his spending hasn’t netted a championship yet. Hope the trend continues
PSU uniforms are Adidas-level creative so it should be a good fit.
Nebraska has 3 years remaining on it's 11 year 128 million dollar contract with Adidas let's hope they continue with a bigger extension but it will require bigger things from the football team to get it.
