I've always wondered what a nike uniform would look like. http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/dollars/post/_/id/3390/why-are-colleges-at-odds-with-adidas I used to be a big fan of Adidas but lately the crap they've pulled with the ND uniforms makes me want to vomit. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wQef_rMXB9M/UUOlYD2dFwI/AAAAAAAAV-U/B2NRpRXP_E4/s1600/bilde.jpeg http://cbschicago.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/a0ch5yecaaabisz.jpg http://www.miataturbo.net/attachments/diy-turbo-discussion-14/70136-want-go-turbo-good-time-rebuild-need-help-vomit1-gif?dateline=1363296180 ND needs to lose Adidas ASAP.

MotorCityIRISH 0 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 I agree. Nike has shown that they can create fantastic uniforms and still respect tradition. Take Army and Navy for example. No more shamrock shake! http://www.examiner.com/slideshow/new-nike-army-and-navy-uniforms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more shamrock shake! http://www.examiner.com/slideshow/new-nike-army-and-navy-uniforms Gotta say, those Navy unis are SHARP. Think that ND just re-upped their contract with Adidas, however. Also, ND is a HUGE Adidas brand, so they'd fight like hell to keep that contract with the Irish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessemoore97 1,478 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I know I was not in favor of the Miami game jerseys upon their reveal. I would definitely blow chunks if the football team had to wear colors like those the BB team wore. If I was a player I would revolt at having to wear anything remotely resembling those BB colors.

dangeruss 6 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I would love to see ND go back to champion. love the uniforms, specially the gold pants I hate how ND has dulled down the gold. also these gold helmets are awesome, still not loving the new ultra shinny helmets. http://www.und.com/sports/m-footbl/images/action/a-johnson-m.jpg http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4825516978996582&pid=1.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donjuan 16 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 however. Also, ND is a HUGE Adidas brand, so they'd fight like hell to keep that contract with the Irish. Not as big as Michigan, apparently. They've got the status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas was repping the Vegas Gold pants up until BK showed up. And thank god, they made us look like cheap Windsor hookers...

dangeruss 6 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 the gold helmets under lou holtz were perfect, why cant they match that gold color. don't they keep track of the colors they use that go into the gold paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKellyWasNotTheMan 12 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I love Nike and always will sometimes get other brands though. But yes they need to switch screw Addias they make tons of money from ND and ND fans. Maybe one day ND can make their own apparel.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratey 6 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) the gold helmets under lou holtz were perfect, why cant they match that gold color. don't they keep track of the colors they use that go into the gold paint? In moving to a concussion resistant helmet we've had issues getting the paint to hold and look right. I read somewhere that we used 5 different shades of gold paint in 2010...One game, Dane Crist was running around in a brown helmet... http://www.annarbor.com/assets_c/2010/09/DAYNE-CRIST-thumb-275x325-54084.jpg Brown. And the 5 different shades was sort of the norm throughout. You can't say "Gold Helmet's under Lou Holtz" because even during Lou Holtz the color varied drastically. Watch this: Tim Brown http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/0909/cfb.heisman.landmark.winners/images/tim-brown.jpg Ronnie P http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/001/577/189/1784380_display_image.jpg?1321629230 Rick Mier http://dy.snimg.com/story-image/4/75/4465276/139082-375-264.jpg At least now, we have a defined, consistent color that matches the exact color of the dome. You also won't see the chipped up, crappy looked, 50x painted helmets at the end of the season. Edited May 1, 2013 by piratey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
