Adidas Update

Hear me out...if New Balance gave us creative control, I'm in. Their cleats are fantastic. Much better than Nike IMO. With Ohtani and Flagg, they are a brand on the rise.
They currently have one P4 school, Boston College. I’m sure they’d love to expand. I’d be game if they are willing to give us a sizable pay raise from what Adidas is doing.
When Ole Miss falls from their current status, this contract is going to be hilarious for Adidas.
I like their cleats and the Ohtani stuff and was uniform shopping a while back and asked about NB, and a rep told me their stuff wasn’t up to par in terms of quality for the price. No idea if that’s the case or not, but just what I was told. Of course they may have a higher profit margin from selling the other brands too.
We're going to sign a deal with Crocs, aren't we?
Funny - there are no actual quotes from adidas re: State. Just info “from industry insiders” to Rebels247 that adidas “isn’t expected to re-up”.
But that’s the clickbait he’s trying to sell.

I've never bought a shirt or shorts from NB. So I have no clue either. I just know their cleats are legit.
Favre is already working that angle for Southern. Doubt they want two MS schools.
Who TF is Chase Parham and why are we listening to him concerning our uniform brand?
I heard we were already out shopping other more lucrative deals, knowing they were talking to olemiss. So that if/when they made this announcement, we were ready to tell the germans who gave us A&M leftovers for years to 17 off.
So they knew what could happen and did it anyway.
Good lord they act like junior high girls.
Jones and Simmons are going to start a sports clothing and shoe line called Hell’s Bells Shells that are HipHop in design specifically for MSU!
I saw lulu lemon representatives walking out of Lee hall yesterday
If we still had Leach we could have went Tommy Bahama.
We can say what we want, but I'm pretty sure Mississippi just cashed in on a better deal than we have or are likely to get while their stock is at an all time high. Adidas will have buyers remorse 5 years from now, but that's their problem. Meanwhile we'll be treated as an afterthought by them for the rest of our contract term. Hopefully both sides will just agree to terminate it early. I'd be fine with us signing with New Balance, Nike, or Under Armor. Whichever is the highest bidder.
I'm guessing KT could help our stock tremendously. When they start losing again, and it's going to happen, Adidas will figure out they over payed. Plus, I'd rather have Nike anyway. It's a better look and a more popular brand in this country.
God I hope Vanderbilt whips that asss this weekend.
Well, hell. After sounding the word out to myself to give your question an honest answer, I ain't rightly sure. I think I might say one way sometimes and the other way at times as well.
Got my eye on these. Bet they can take my yard to the next level, and make me a grill master.
Well, last week I verbalized my several year long avoidance of all things nike due to their "activism."......then read today that the CEO has acknowledged the damage activism has done, and the intent to go back to concentrating on sports......and I tried on a pair of the running shoes, and almost bought them.........so if Nike has truly changed directions, then I could go with Nike branding for STATE..
BUT......
What I saw that was interesting in the UM/Addidas deal was that adidas acknowledged that UM had a identity in their current branding and had no desire to change.
I hope that STATE would have the wisdom to exercise more control over branding and ownership rights.....which today, I trust us to do. All that to say, when I but new State apparel, I would like it to be b/c I have lost weight, or worn a shirt out, or simply b/c I like the new shirt.....NOT, b/c we constantly have a new "logo"

“Probably”? Not a good look for him to say he “root(s) for Ole Miss to win every other game PROBABLY besides that one.”
