Hoosiers jumping from ADIDAS to Jordan Brand??

NIKE OR JORDAN ALL DAY LONG

[protectthishouse 162]

if they do go with jordan, shorts will get longer and jerseys tighter. it is their style. Not a big deal to me but others might get all upset

Yep. I specifically remember watching Isaiah Canaan at Murray State. His jersey looked painted on and his shorts were mid-shin lol.

UNC sports Jordan and I think they wear it well even though I hate them. They don't wear super long shorts or tattooed on jerseys

Whatever company pays the most is fine with me.

 

Most times that means UA.  They tend to push drastic uniform design.  Don't think that would go over well here.

 

I don't care how much Nike or Jordan pays, I say bring em.

I don't care if they update the cut, but for the love of all that is good no shorts that are halfway between shorts and pants.

I like all the Jordan apparel we'd get. I still wear some of the Nike shirts from back in those days when we had them. ADIDAS switch sucked.

Me too, including the jersey I wear for every game....

[protectthishouse 162]

I personally would like the design of the jersey to stay as clsoe to what we have now. I think the fans should have a say in what it looks like. I also think the players should get to voice their opinion on an alternate jersey. When it comes to the cut of the uniform, that should be 100% decided by the players. if they are in a jersey or shorts that feel uncomfortable it can really mess with their game. In high school i rolled up my shorts because i hated the length because it messed with my hand/ball if I wanted to go between the legs with the dribble. When it came to jerseys I always wore a sleevless under armour, even during practice that way every shot always felt the same. So basically what I am getting at, fans should be able to have an opinion to how it looks but the players decide how it feels.

It's been mentioned before, but I haven't seen match data on the connection between recruiting and Nike brand schools. Can anyone speak more to this?

I personally love those shoes. I would be all for the switch on several levels.

[sirhoosierlot 2,492]

It's worth noting the origins of those Jordans. http://www.nicekicks.com/2014/05/28/air-jordan-11-big-ten-custom-collection/#utm_campaign=twittercard&utm_medium=twittercard&utm_source=twittercard

I couldn't agree with you more about it being a HUGE recruiting tool. I've wanted to change our uni's for quite some time now. These kids care about looks almost as much as how well they are playing. Kinda sad but very true. My 11 year old son for example, had 3 travel baseball teams to choose from before this season started. The team he ended up picking was the one that had several different alternate jerseys and cool designs. Just the way it is now

Nike makes a way better jersey with stitching and excellent shorts. They will have a better selection of shirts as well. This is a great move for the fans

I think it's always been that way. Can't blame kids for picking the most stylish things. Think of how popular smoking cigarettes became in large part due to marketing and "the cool factor". It's not just today's kids, its human nature.

I don't give a crap if it's Adidas, Nike, Sketchers, Keds, Chuck Taylors, or flip flops.  I literally couldn't care less.  The logo on the shoe doesn't make a bit of difference and absolutely won't make us play better.  Adidas hasn't seemed to hurt us much in recruiting either, unless you count Trey Lyles's dad having a sickening love affair with Nike.
