Auburn forward Allen Payne blames Under Armour
Auburn senior forward Allen Payne on Under Armour:
I can say this now... We'll struggle as long as we are under Under Armour.

Someone tried to fisk me on this several weeks ago (I think it was one of the dudes from 247Sports' Michigan site), but I hope we stay far away from Under Armour in our next apparel contract negotiations. Under Armour is at a competitive disadvantage in basketball. May not matter to Notre Dame because their basketball team sucks, but I don't want to see that at Michigan. Add in the speedskating controversy, and it has not been a good month for Under Armour.
I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start.
...all over the place now, I'm almost surprised that schools haven't started makeing & marketing their own brands of apparel.
I'm not the type to buy a uniform jersey...but I would be more likely to do it if I knew that all the proceeds were going to support the program rather than Phil Knight or whatever German runs Adidas.
Go Blue apparel? Why not?
the fact that what your university wears should have any effect on a recruit is the most retarded fucking thing i have heard .... today.
Say his AAU team is Adidas and he wants to go to a Nike school. What does he lose?
