Vol uniform/helmet design discussion (merged)

[AJeray4TN]

Yay, rumor time



In all seriousness though, wouldn't it have negative repercussions for the school for Hart or someone to already be leaking/saying such? (while still under contract with one and "supposedly" having decided/speaking to the other?)

How so? That's called bargaining power. The only thing that would come from this is Adidas being willing to bend over for UT to keep them.

 

[AJeray4TN]

Don't forget the inclusion of Nike's new favorite color: Antracite

Vandy fan IMO.

 

[wcm100690]

I don't know if you noticed or not but several times last year we decided to wear the traditional mesh jersey's over the new tech-fit ones. The bama game last year was one where we did that. I don't know what the reason behind it was, just found it interesting.

I did notice. I would like to know the reasoning behind that as well.

 

[AJeray4TN]

Boooo. The only thing Tennessee and Bama agree on is keeping traditional uniforms.

I'm in the under 25 crowd, but I vote to keep the tradition rolling.

Alabama is Nike. The school determines the uniform. There is a misnomer floating around that Adidas is the reason we don't have a wild alternate uniform. Not true. Bama went with Nike, and have mandated the traditional look.

Dooley likes tradition. We'd be wearing glittered, black spandex if Kiffin was still here.

This is a coach/AD decision.

Now Nike will force us to wear god awful combat unis to market the work of some blind tailor in Bangladesh

We will probably get Nike Pro Combats like Alabama or Texas. Nothing will change just the pants.

I wouldn't be surprised if Adidas threw the bank at us.

I prefer Pony get the contract

Rocked a pair of Pony hightops in the day

Unless Nike ponies up a lot more cash, UT will be an Adidas school

They already do more than Nike will

Simply not correct

 

[RoaminVol]

We should be sponsored by Ralph Lauren POLO. We should start a trend.

Yes, it's a money decision. And I'm pretty sure Nike has a lot more of it.

I personally don't give 2 sh!ts.

 

[Volunteer forever]

I thought this was gonna be a thread about how awesome and dominate we will be in 3 years.

 

[ItsAllVols]

Look it took Adidas this long just to get close to looking good ORANGE...not looking forward to 25 years of odd orange color unis.

 

[TrueOrange]

Yes. Then we can get our jerseys made in China!

 

[RoaminVol]

All these Nike haters remind me of Dooley haters.

 

[volcrazy333]

I guess I'm the only one that likes the old jerseys. As in the mesh right before tech fit. Look like those days are gone. Now we're stuck with basically quarter sleeve tees as our jerseys. But Nike might be able to get the color right at least

 

[Wylo]

Thank goodness. I hate Adidas.

 

[vol_in_ar]

I agree. I don't have a problem with what adidas is putting on the field right now. It really just comes down to the "fan" apparel. Nike would have way more of a variety.

agreed trying to find the Adidas stuff you see the coaches wearing is impossible

 

[AJeray4TN]

Look it took Addias this long just to get the close to looking good...not looking forward to 25 years of odd orange color unis.

Isn't there already someone in the uniform thread that has been working hand-in-hand with apparel companies to design UT's new super cereal secret uniforms?

 

[YankeeVol]

Yes, it's a money decision. And I'm pretty sure Nike has a lot more of it.

I personally don't give 2 sh!ts.

Well they haven't been willing to give as much to UT as Adidas has. And I doubt the money gap is that huge

 

[Cyclopskiller]

Can't happen soon enough. Adidas sucks

That's what's up. Adidas is for hippies!

 

[CountVolcula]

We should be sponsored by Ralph Lauren POLO. We should start a trend.

Chinese kids make great clothes

Nothing says national pride more than having a communist country make your retail products

 

[AJeray4TN]

Yes. Then we can get our jerseys made in China!

I bet 90% total of those opening ceremony uniforms were at least sourced from China in some way.

 

[AJeray4TN]

Contracts are long too though. New AD coming from a Nike school...wouldn't shock me if a change came, wouldn't shock me if it didn't.
