Hoosiers jumping from ADIDAS to Jordan Brand??

Recommended Posts

Terrible news

"According to IU, the deal worth $53.6 million over eight years is one of the five richest publicly known apparel deals in college athletics...According to a database compiled by the Portland Business Journal, that annual payout would rank the Hoosiers third nationally in apparel deals for the 2014-15 academic year, behind Michigan and UCLA."

Indeed. I may cry myself to sleep tonight.

Cool Dad did what he could, got IU a $3 mm./year bump in gear and money. I'm curious to see how Adidas plans to have the same hue of crimson and cream across all sports; I'd love to see actual cream uniforms for our teams.

P.S. Pass on the 'optional' alternate basketball uniform, every attempt has looked like Euro-trash.

You don't want actual cream. See the bball alts from 2 years ago and the Sam Wyche Flying IU unis. Ugh

Why are people so upset? Adidas is a great brand.

Their overall selection for IU apparel has been pretty mediocre, but that appears to be something that we addressed with them, so we'll see. And either way, my annoyance with struggling to find certain things is much less significant than the importance of the money we're getting. It's a nice deal for the AD.

The recruiting element is WAY overblown.
