This is what really matters about the change. It is about the recruits, if they want it so do I. If you like Adidas on your UT gear you are @least 45. These young guys like Nike. Nuff said

probably already posted, but how soon before posters start complaining about how Nike can't get the right orange on all the different fabrics and pieces of apparel they make? I'm guessing 45 seconds after the first pieces of clothing hits the stores.

Nope, as I believe someone stated before it is because of Adidas getting out of the business.

Adidas is not getting out of the business. They made a substantial offer to keep Tennessee and have recently renewed all-sports deals with UCLA, Nebraska and Cincinnati.

Well, its not all about the recruits

We purchase the clothing

If Nike makes junk that only appeals to the teeny crowd, then your older, more mature crowd won't purchase it. Down goes the revenue on clothing apparel for UT, making it harder to negotiate another contract

You have to have a happy medium and can't just do it to make 28 possible signees happy. Ludicrous thinking

UT would never do anything just to make a few kids happy. It would be bad business. Its all about money

As far as recruiting goes it can only help us. It's a fact that new uniforms get recruits talking and if they are talk about Tennessee I am all for it. It has also been said by Oregon and other schools that "You don't pick Nike, Nike picks you." Maybe the higher ups at Nike see Tennessee trending into the upper epsilon of college football again and want to get on board. Either way it is pure genius to drop this news just a few days before NSD to sure up some recruits.

I want the distribution rights to whatever you people who think "new" or "edgy" or "hip" uniforms have a d*mned thing to do with a recruit's decision as to which school to attend are smoking. Bear in mind that virtually no fishing lures are designed to actually catch fish - they are designed to catch the fisherman's dollar. The UTAD and Nike are both well aware that by switching vendors the sheep will line up 20 deep in 2015 to buy the new gear.

Original old guys..hey...
It's not about what you sell, it's about what the customer wants.
The future is bright, the baby boomers will die out. Then the up and the younger guys like myself that has a little $ will be buying gear. I think Nike shoes are junk. They look good but made cheap. When it comes to clothing line, it looks good and some of my nicest business polo's are Nike. It will be the future. You that refused a cell phone got one. You thought Facebook was dumb, you got one. Now you think Nike is dumb, guess what..you will buy it.

Not me! I never have, nor will I ever have a Facebook page. I'm just not narcissistic enough to think anyone gives a crap about my day to day, minute to minute life. Nor do I give that much of a crap about anyone else's.

lol. Nike and Adidas goods aren't that different and it's nothing like having or not having FB or a smart phone. Ridiculous.
