Nike

Maybe I should have put that as my UM secret from a while back....

I hate DISCUSS Man. Discuss.

I hate you very a lot

Russell Athletics.

This is my MGoBlog PSA - especially for old farts like me with bad knees and backs, who grew up with Converse then Nikes then maybe (My) Adidas:

I've been wearing Nike shoes since middle school basketball 29 years ago. I wore them for my various sports and that carried over to casual sneakers. I loved them, their fit, and their quality.

I just bought my first UA basketball shoe after my son got a pair for his AAU team. He kept raving about how much better they were than his several Nike shoes. He convinced me to go to the UA store and try them.

Easily the best shoes (I bought two) I've had in my life. And the price is less than Nike. These shoes are made for using - not simply looks. They really are a better shoe.

No stock in UA (though I think it'd be a great buy). I'm just sharing this because I bet many of you are like me and have never tried them on.

Get our basketball team in some Grant hill Fila's. Hell I don't care call lotto, umbro, or Puma Just kidding, Nike please. I wouldn't mind UA though

IDFWUA!

I have no idea what the kids are wearing these days.  I own Nike, Merrells, Inov8s, Brooks and UA.  I'd be ok with Nike or UA, anything but Adidas based solely on their awful alternate uniforms.

Avia. Now those were some kicks.

This is a horrible decision, it's picking the lesser of two evils. Unfortunately, they both make horrible attire and although I hate what Nike stands for, they do a great job making clothes I actually could wear in public.
We've seen Adidas, and they have been less than impressive. I feel like UA might send the traditionalists in a whirlwind by tweaking the jerseys somehow, so it's a tough decision. I guess my vote would be for UA. Let's see what they can do.
Or we can just get Nike. Haha

And Dockers.

End of DISCUSSion

Something to be proud of?

Just win some football games! We could be wearing bath robes out there... As long as we're winning games!

Just not a fan of Adidas anymore the quality of the product and design suck. I've been holding off buying some new apparel because I keep thinking I knew better design will come out but they never do.

LA Gear an option?

UA makes some quality stuff.

I've grown to like Adidas, but I wish we could come up with better ideas for alternate unis in football. I know all the old f*cks around here would have a stroke..but let's do something completely badass.
I also think Harbaugh and co. will pick Nike based on tradition and past experience AND just wanting a totally clean slate. JMO.

Most of the sports apparel I've bought lately has been UA (golf polos/pants/shorts, running shirts, compression base-layer), and it's all been pretty high quality stuff. Haven't used any of their shoes or protective gear.

At the end of the day, though, I don't really care one way or the other.

No

I would prefer Starter.

Are Le Coqs an option? As a twofer, then we could get Kramer's Little Jerry for a mascot. Perfect!

Honestly, I see guys combing their hair before coming out of the locker room to play. And, like, I get it. Intellectually. I get the whole fashion thing, in my head. In my heart, I don't feel it. I never cared one bit how I looked while I was playing and I still don't when I coach.

And I think that any benefit from a UA shoe vs a Nike shoe vs a Le Coq shoe is completely washed away by the time you could be spending practicing or studying film instead of fussing over shoes. Either that or, if there truly is a significant benefit to one athlete over another from a certain shoe or stick, then I think that there are just as good odds that another company's product will be just as beneficial for another athlete with a different style. I mean, athelets are so individual, does it really make sense that Steph Curry would need the same kind of shoe as a high school or college-age Austin Davis?

But I understand that it's important to just about everyone except me, and so I get why fashion and equipment is an important AD decision. It's just all a bit frustrating, though.

Have Jeremy Scott design our shoes/uniform within the context of our helmet, which will not change. We will blow Oregon out of the water and all the old people will have a heart attack.

"Our shoes have wings"

Adidas is far superior for basketball than UA, it's not even close. Adidas has the NBA right now. If we care about basketball, we will stick with Adidas.

For Football:
1. Nike
2. UA
3. Adidas

For Basketball:
1. Nike
2. Adidas
3. UA- and it's a distant third
