OT Link: ND's apparel contract to expire...AD Swarbrick addresses Under Armour rumors

Here's an OT link of the day...

Personally, I didn't know ND's contract with Adidas was up and I certainly didn't know people are saying they're moving to Under Armour.

Interesting.

If this is the case, I wonder if this affects Adidas and Michigan (if at all). There have been many complaints of the years, but Adidas would almost HAVE to make us "their Oregon" or "their Maryland."

Of course they'd have to do it without making us anything close to Oregon or Maryland (despite the efforts with the bumblebees).

One of my biggest gripes that no one really mentions is our basketball jerseys, I like them, but I hate that it's the basic Adidas template everyone else uses.

Michigan should have their own custom jersey in EVERY sport and it should be simple, traditional, and MICHIGAN. If Adidas wants to make an alternate for every sport that embodies this, I'm all for it, go ahead...people will buy them and it doesn't mean the teams have to wear them.
