Title: SWOOSH! Post by: Black Diamond Vol on July 01, 2015, 06:44:02 EDT OMG! So. Much. Swag. How did we manage to win any games without Nike? How have we even maintained an athletic department for this long? I'm convinced. With Nike onboard, we're going to run the table and win the NC next year. In EVERY sport. :cool:

Title: Re: SWOOSH! Post by: droner on July 01, 2015, 08:41:30 EDT The talking heads at ESPN are all tweeting positively about the uniforms.
Who knew that making a deal with the Devil was that big? (http://home.mindspring.com/~wbalford/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/devil.gif) Title: Re: SWOOSH! Post by: droner on July 01, 2015, 09:05:47 EDT I got an email today from the UT Office of Alumni Affairs welcoming Nike with a video of the new uniforms.
Apparently I don't appreciate the gravity of this event. Title: Re: SWOOSH! Post by: murfvol on July 01, 2015, 10:56:30 EDT I watched the video. Am I buying stuff? No. Am I glad everyone busted it to get whatever hype exists? Sure.
Hopefully we start getting hype for actual wins, but I'll take what we have. Title: Re: SWOOSH! Post by: volsboy on July 01, 2015, 11:45:37 EDT I kinda like the way the reflections of the mountains can be seen on the helmet.

Post by: midtnvol on July 02, 2015, 01:26:54 EDT We've been a Nike school all day and we haven't won a damn championship, game or match in anything. Worse, we havent had anybody drafted either. How long til we can expect some results. :confused:
Title: Re: SWOOSH! Post by: HerbTarlekVol on July 02, 2015, 05:20:05 EDT I just don't get the displeasure with our adidas history.
We won a football national championship as an adidas school. . We made the CWS twice as an adidas school. We went further in basketball as an adidas school than ever before. The women's basketball team continued to be one of the top 2 or 3 programs in America during our adidas years. The softball team made, what, a half dozen women's CWS's as an adidas school. The tennis program excelled. What am I missing? Just don't get the detest for adidas nor the adoration for Nike. Title: Re: SWOOSH!

If you're referring to my original post, you apparently missed the cynicism, snark, and sarcasm. I HATE nike. In fact, Phil Knight might just be the devil. I will admit that a lot of their stuff revealed yesterday looks pretty good. But I'll never buy it. :dunno: Title: Re: SWOOSH!

Adidas never, ever got the orange completely right and it convinced me that they just half-assed it. The orange on the new Nikes yesterday was spot-on and they even mentioned several times how important it was to get it right. Otherwise I only care if it impacts our programs, and Nike's reputation does-- even if only a little. Title: Re: SWOOSH!

It was only meant as a general question for discussion. Title: Re: SWOOSH!

Funny. Not much really changes with UT fans. |
