Thoughts on Nike/Jordan Michigan deal after 1 year?
The midnight mayhem that was the Nike/Jordan Launch party that took over the city was a year ago at midnight of August 1.
It's been a year with Nike. What are your thoughts on the gear and the deal?
Mine:
Gear prices have shot up but so have the quality. The uniforms are outstanding except 2/3 Hockey jerseys.

That's not a Nike issue though.
I guess I just associate what they wear with the apparel outfitter. Up to Coach on what they wear.

I like that it is relatively unique, as in we were the first Jordan football team.
But I wouldn't really care if we were outfitted with MTA Pro apparel (Meijer Thrifty Acres) if we won a national title.

and everything is too goddamn tight. I'm in pretty good shape, but no one wants to see my nipples.
Also the prices are completely out of line.
If it makes you happy, hatter, I'll look at your nipples. I'll take one for the team.

All of those Umbro jokes have made me regret Michigan didn't go with Umbro.

That's what the kids like so it's good.
I've bought a zipper sweatshirt, a replica football jersey for my toddler, and a replica away jersey for me. The white zipper of my sweatshirt has mysteriously turned pink but I can't blame Nike for that. The replica jerseys are okay though I haven't washed mine yet because I bought it after the season.

I don't see the difference between the two tbh. All brands (Nike, UA, Adidas) all have their strengths and weaknesses. There are some clothes that I prefer one over the other. One is not inherently better than the other.

Adidas highlighter yellow over the current color tbh. It pops out really well especially on TV.

I have a few Adidas hats that I prefer more than my Nike ones, but my pre-adidas visor is the one I'd grab from my house if it were burning to the ground.How many Michigan hats do you own?

What's old seems new again. But what do I do with my Adidas gear? Wait for the next Adidas contract? I still have an old pre-Adidas Nike jersey.
GO BLUE!!

Being a bigger guy, they had absolutely nothing in the 3XL/4XL category last year, hopefully they will have a better selection this year. Adidas always took care of us big boys!

Still wearing a lot of Adidas because nothing's available in the big sizes.
Help the middle aged paunch people out!

Way better than Adidas. I actually prefer the swoosh gear in many instances.
August 1st, 2017 at 11:10 PM ^
They ruin too many decent designs with a gigantic, weirdly-placed Jumpman. Not that I would even think about paying those prices. Still happy with my Nike gear from the first time around.

Need more (some) retro Jordan shoes available to the public. The training shoes aren't good enough. I love all the drifit shirt choices, they are well worth the high price tag IMO. They last way longer.
The main thing to me is they haven't really dropped the ball on any jerseys yet, I don't really mind the hockey ones although they could be better.
August 1st, 2017 at 11:39 PM ^
Totally agree. Without the Jordan shoes, it feels like we're only getting half the package. I've spent way more than I should have on shirts, jackets, and hoodies, but would totally go all out for shoes. As it stands, there's not a big incentive to buy more gear this year. Plus, weird placement of the Jumpman logo on Harbaugh's shirt this year.

I want an XL shirt to feel like an XL shirt. I like loose shirts. My old Nike shirts are much better.
The money for the stuff makes me think twice about how much I want it.
Don't hate Nike. Don't love Nike. In the end, if I want it, I will get it. Logo be damned.
