A Lot of Milk

The ONE thing I will miss about Adidas is the gear with the throwback Adidas logo that looks like leaves. If everything they made had that, I would've been a lot more receptive. (And if not all of their jerseys turned to shreds mid-game)

Glad it helped. Im finally able to look at everything this morning, but I want to call back to order the rest of the stuff I want because the very nice lady I talked to last night said she would give me free shipping. I have the product numbers, but the phones aren't being answered right now.

and started reading these 3 newest Nike threads, just to see what's going on.

Before going back to bed, though, I thought I'd go to the MDen website and give it a try, and had absolutely no problem.  Even used an MDen gift card and bought myself 1 item (the Maize "Team Issue" Nike Polo, non-Jumpman) for $60.  And I'll get it shipped just as quickly as I would have if I had ordered it 2 1/2 hours ago.

Quick, easy shopping right now.  Must be WD went home and isn't still up clogging the system.

Go Blue and good night, all!

There is something darkly humorous about a 2 month countdown timer to the website immediately bursting into flames and not working indefinitely.

 

Also, super obnoxious because you would assume they would have found some premium nerds on campus to ensure this exact thing did not happen.

See, I knew that if I just went to sleep a little earlier than normal last night that I would wake up in a whole new world and indeed I have. Assuming the site ever works again, there might be a purchase or two made today. 

The photos that people were tweeting out last night of the line were phenomenal - I don't know that I've seen images of anything like that on a Sunday night in Ann Arbor before.

I get this isn't a serious problm in the grand scheme of life by any meausre, but I tried to place an order at 1am, 4am, and now at 7am, and mden still doesn't work.  I can only conclude that 1. Us Michigan fans are crazy and gotta have our new gear due to the extreme anticipation for the season of promise or 2. Mden needs to not run their website out of their mom's basement.

I tried until about 12:45 to no avail. Was able to buy four items despite a few hiccups/ 503 errors around 5:30 am. I still haven't received a confirmation email though.

Hyped this event up more than the M Den.  Them tweeting out that the demand is unprecedented and that they weren't expecting this makes this even more frustrating.  You did this to yourself, what did you think would happen?  You had a damn countdown calendar at every M Den and on your website.

And they marketed the ever loving shit out of this event.  I can understand the site crashing at midnight, but it's 9 hours later.  9 hours to fix something they had over a year to prepare for.  This not being fixed after 9 hours tells me they were more than just a little under prepared.  This is a screw up on a massive level and it should be embarrassing for them.  There was massive hype around this event already without the MDen adding their 2 cents into all of if with a damn countdown clock.  Like I said, I understand the site going down right at 12 and can even understand it being down for part of the night, but after 9 hours, they have completely butchered this event, at least as far as the website goes.

I'm certainly no expert in IT, but this has got to be really embarrassing for them. You are absolutely right. They hyped the hell out of it, and then can't handle the site traffic at all. It's been almost 9 hours since the Nike/Jordan stuff went live, and I'm no closer to completing my order than I was at midnight.

"I boxed up all my Adidas gear and took it over to storage today," said Michael Laskowski of Utica, who uses the Wolverine Devotee name on Twitter and was planning this haul for over a year and brought over $1,000 with him planning to spend it. "I was setting aside money from my paychecks for this changeover and obviously I'll be doing it all in one switchover, as much as a I can."

 

He was thrilled with the new font and the maize color, which was more highlighter yellow with Adidas and said he plans to return next weekend to buy the jersey and the shoes.
