UCLA's new Techfit x Primeknit uniformz
I know I have been anti-apparel, but I just wanted to share what we would possibly have to put up with had we extended our contract with adidas. So glad we signed with Nike!
Here's UCLA's new Uniformz!

— adidas Football US (@adidasFballUS) July 9, 2015Isn't UCLA going to be the poster school for adidas now?
They will be left pretty much with Miami, nebraska, texas a&m, and Wisconsin in football and indiana, kansas, ucla, and louisville in basketball (some do represent well in both)
Edit: and whatever you consider arizona state, mississippi state, and nc state... hurray

These are fucking awful. UCLA fans are extremely angry on twitter. I haven't seen one that likes it.
Bruins Nation has gone off the deep end.
#IfadidasMadeTheUnisFor The Red Sox, they would be wearing ankle-high socks.

#IfadidasMadeTheUnisFor UPS, they would be beige instead of brown.

#IfadidasMadeTheUnisFor The Yankees, their pinstripes would have horizontal "laser cuts".

Why ruin an iconic look? Because adidas.
Their contract with adidas is done in June 2017

Bruce Madej said that UCLA is looking to leave adidas on WTKA yesterday.
WD you better be the first to jump down their sh*t. Recall the platinum series for basketball or Sparty dressed like Baylor. Maybe you already forgot TCU's new uniforms for this year that remind me of Zubaz with a player wearing the number 4G.

That's bullshit.
I refused to buy Nike anything for the last 7 years because Michigan was with adidas.
I really like UCLA's color scheme. Adidas finds a way to make it look dumb though.
"If it ain't broke, break it!"
You can always tell when it's a marketing slappy talking...
Does adidas not understand color coordination? If you want something to stand out you don't mix it with a whole bunch of other background crap. Louisville's poster was even more likely to induce a seizure.
Also, I like UCLA's original uniform and their different numbers are very cool. Why are they trying to change this? If it ain't broke, break it. Ugh.
Remeber we haven't seen our uniforms this season...I hope it's not something similar. All this stuff was designed last year (aka before we chose to sign with Nike) so adidas could potentially give our beloved maize and blue a similar pattern... Here's hoping they dont though...especially cuz everyone would take it as them giving us a giant middle finger...not that they might anyway as im sure they are a tad sore about us switching
We're not contractually obligated to wear something just because they design something. We have the power to say "Not in our lifetime, you no-talent fop."
Thank God for that!...and Hackett!! If brandon were still here...ugh, well we wouldn't have Harbaugh or Nike and probably would be wearing something far worse than poor UCLA
My Lord there are a lot of things happening on those jersies. The helmet and pants seem okay.
I still fail to understand the purpose of the seizure-inducing wallpaper underlying these team announcements.
Logged in to upvote. You're boss.
has no ass whatsoever. How is that dorky stretch shirt going to stay down on a normal human? it's gonna ride up unless it's safety-pinned to the pants.
This has become MGoFashionWeek.
I'm pretty sure it always is.
Why have you turned on me, internet friend?
Not sure where you're coming from there, WD, but if that question is about me downvoting and speaking up against the glut of apparel threads, then yes, I wear that crown proudly.
I've been extremely consistant , IMO, in my disdain for the constant barrage of Nike vs. Adidas vs. UA . I'm a Michigan fan; I don't worship Nike or any other corporate entity. I don't get statements like "Michigan and Nike are made for each other like peanut butter and jelly" (or what ever it was word-for-word you posted a day or 2 ago). I also don't understand many of the same people who get up-in-arms about the possiblilty of advertising in The Big House, or giant Kraft Macaroni noodles inside the gates, or corporate Rawk anthems blasting away while our MMB sits idle, getting so aroused over a clothing manufacturer (not to mention one with a LOT of dirty laundry of its own).
Yet I do understand that the athletes have a preference. So yeah, there might be some small gain in recruiting as a result (I think more in hoops than in football where any gain at all will likely be negligible) . But in the end, if any student-athlete lets apparel brands be the tipping point/deciding factor, well, they probably don't deserve a Michigan education anyway.
Did you miss my declaration several weeks ago (and the follow-up posts I've made since then) declaring myself the "Voltron is Handsome" of apparel threads?
It's not just a WD thing...didn't Hackett basically say as much when talking about the power of the respective brands?
Very long-waisted torso with tiny waist and hips.

Anyone who thinks the helmet should be changed even for a split second should be forced to listen to Kim Kardashian explain the philsophical basis of the American Revolution.
As long as that seizure-inducing background isn't on the field, they probably won't be that bad.
I mean, those are really terrible. But as a Cal alum, I find it awesome FUcla will look like they got run over multiple times by a semi truck. Roll on you Bears.
And Go Blue.
Am I the only one who is annoyed by the fact that the shoulder stripes just abruptly stop instead of going around like most stripes?
Also gloves say Ula (c apparently got lost somewhere)
Adidas bruined another classic uni (yes, I went there. Wordplay ftw)
They're still not as bad as the fearsome raptor that is the cardinal for louisville. That's just the worst thing ever.
their logo is a bird with teeth, I feel like they get special dispensation for stupid branding decisions.
