OT: SVSU Adidas basketball jersey
On my way home from work last night I happened to catch a couple of minutes of the SVSU basketball game on the radio. The announcer mentioned that SVSU was wearing their red away jerseys because the white home jerseys were not available. He then told a story that the white jerseys had to be sent back because of a defect in the material , and that the plane that they were being shipped on crashed. Multiple players had to wear different numbers.
Btw, the radio announcer clearly stated that SVSU's jerseys are made by Adidas. So, I guess other schools are having issues with Adidas uniforms.
I didn't hear anything else about the plane crash and have not had a chance to research anything that would confirm this. But I don't think someone could make up a story like that.

I am assuming the defect is the same that Michigan had during the Minnesota game. I want to say the announcer said that the jerseys were tearing but I am not sure.

I live in Saginaw, so I was cheating a little too. Seeing something about SVSU on this site (other than when Michigan plays them in basketball) made me laugh a little.

If it's the school I'm thinking of, I ran at a cross country meet there in high school around fields of sugar beets.

DB could be the father of the girl in the Saginaw Michigan song searching for "Maize" Adidas jerseys in Alaska.

adidas blows...I would honestly like to know what D Brandons real position on this is??... I know he hates the neon yellow and wants to slowly get back to the actual color of maize.

I work for a team dealer, we sell equipment, uniforms, apparel and footwear to school accounts at the middle school, high school, and collegiate level. We carry all the major brands including adidas.
I loathe adidas. They never have anything in stock and it's very difficult to sell their product. Rarely do my accounts WANT adidas but from time to time i'm forced to check to see what they have available-which is usually nothing.
As intelligent as Dave Brandon is-despite the fact that he has two first names-I can only hope that the business man in him will do whatever it takes to go back to Nike when this awful contract with adidas expires. Hell, I wouldn't even mind seeing Michigan in Under Armour. Just no more adidas please.

Sounds like the defect was with the plane.

The Milwaukee Panthers had the W on their jerseys misprinted by Adidas this season
in one game , JJ Panoske's front of his jersey was spelled Milwauke
Jerseys have rippedand other aspects
I want Nike back at Michigan
I can't stand Adidas
