Jace Howard Signs Deal with Lululemon

My brother convinced me to buy a pair of these chinos a few years ago. They are super comfortable, light, and breathable which is perfect for the heat down here. I just don't like dropping that much for a pair of pants, but I'd definitely do it again.

Can fully endorse the Lulu pants Harbaugh wears.  I have a couple of the ABC Pants (chinos) and joggers.  Most comfortable work pants I own.  They're not super dressy but work for every day office attire.  Can wear them with a sport coat and look good, too.  

That switch to Lululemon from Walmart is definitely one of the reasons Michigan can't beat OSU. It makes slightly more sense than the recent take of Jarrett Irons:

Whether it's Lululemon or some other brand, all I'm saying is that stretchy pants is a gamechanger. I have slightly stretchy jeans and khakis and they are amazing. I was skeptical when my wife bought me a pair of stretchy jeans, but they are so comfortable when bending down. I highly and whole-heartedly recommend pants with 4-way stretch. 

At this point, being a Lululemon hater is just silly. If you truly can't afford it, fine (but I bet you blow money on worse stuff) but it's legitimately top notch. Their dress pants being the top of the list. They look as good as any dress slacks you were (short of a full suit) and you could wear them directly to the gym and do squats in them. You could wear them to bed as pajamas.  They're amazing. Yeah, they're $128. You don't need to buy 10 pair. But they also come out of the dryer wrinkle free. 10/10, highly recommend.

That might be the case. But you'd have to do more than assert it to prove it. So far I'm seeing lots about kids from the biggest schools signing deals. Why don't you begin your defense there, work your way up. . . Because you can count me among those who recognizes that the kids were massively exploited but still sees the general trend as a kind of race to the bottom. . . of a certain kind of pretty sad--and once the novelty wears thin, pretty uninteresting--groveling for the almighty dollar. He looks good in that outfit, btw. 

I mean, the kid's dad is pretty rich... 

LuluLemon men's apparel was a hidden secret for a while but I feel like people are starting to catch on. Expensive, but worth it

I've heard the same from too many people for it to not be true but haven't explored that brand myself yet.

Oh good, I thought this was my private dirty secret.  I am not really a big fashion person at all, but I have a pair of their trousers and they're my favorite pair of pants I've ever owned. Light, comfortable, versatile, and stylish, and something I always make sure to pack whenever I travel.

Obviously, I don't love the price tag which is why I only have the one pair.  I wouldn't mind another, and pursuant to that, a gal I know from the dog park works for them and she said they will often have We Made Too Much sales, but you generally won't find popular colors like black and slate for sale.

I was on the fence about Lululemon.

First off the name looks and sounds goofy to me and I heard they're pricey.

After hearing all the positive responses from this thread I'm going to check them out. I will attribute the sale to Jace. He's already earning his money from Lululemon. 

I live in a van down by the river.

Not even 128 bucks.

Is this question serious? Exposure. I mean, you're literally living - in this very thread - what Lululemon wanted out of Jace Howard: a bunch of advocates discussing how much they like their ABC pants to thousands of athletically oriented (or at least interested), predominantly male, eyeballs on a Michigan sports blog. 

It's pretty straightforward, I think. They're betting that he'll be a high profile player on a prominent college basketball team and that he will help them sell their line of men's clothing. If he goes on to play in the NBA, even better. If not, well, they hope to get their money's worth while's playing at Michigan.

Could signing Jace be a bad idea for Lululemon? Of course. It's advertising, though. A lot of advertising is a bad idea, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone. However, it's not clear to me from the tweet how much they're actually paying him; depending on how much money he's getting, this could be a bargain for them. (Or not.)

I think we're going to see roughly two broad types of NIL signings. The first is obviously advertising. The second is the legalized version of the bag man. Having said that, though, there's gonna be a lot of overlap. If you're paying a kid so he plays at your school, why wouldn't you use him to advertise your product?  

I think you're right, I'd be surprised if it wasn't a thing based on the MDen partnership.

I don't need a closet full of Lululemon stuff, but the things I do own are incredibly comfortable so I'm very interested in what a U-M themed line will look like. Not a big fan of clothes with big logos and/or text, so I'm hoping it's understated enough that I wouldn't feel weird wearing it to work.
