[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 994091, member: 4572"] Creates an account and gets right down into the important bits: uniforms. That’s exactly how I got sucked down into this rabbit hole. I actually think my first posts were about the new Adidas uniforms and fan gear. I’d be shocked if Tech signed a deal with anybody but Adidas, but I’m fine with the 3 stripes. The uniform designs have ranged from pretty bad to really good in all sports. The team gear from Adidas has clear distinctions in quality based on who it’s for. I was still in school when Tech switched to Adidas, and for the most part the quality wasn’t that much better than Russell, and in some cases it was worse. I think that’s been remedied now as Tech and Adidas understand each other a little better and what’s expected out of Adidas as a supplier, [I]and [/I]GT as a buyer. The gear that Tech’s athletes are getting now is on par with what they’re getting at other Adidas schools like Miami, Washington, and Kansas, as well as all the P5 Nike schools. The lower level Adidas schools like Louisiana Tech, Jacksonville State, Troy, San Jose State, etc. and any D2 or lower level get actual crap for their team gear. IMPO the fan gear has been fine, and I’ve never had any trouble finding something in a style/color I like. The quality has been what you would expect out of any large manufacturer mass producing goods, except maybe Adidas’ sizing is a little more inconsistent than other brands. I expect that’s due to the large European and South American markets that Adidas has a large share in. I know there are several other posters who would say that Adidas’ fan gear has not lived up to their standards, but I’m not sure how much better it can be. I personally have been wearing much less athletic themed gear as I’ve gotten older and into the professional world. Most of my GT gear now is golf polos, 1/4 zips, and sweatshirts coming from brands like Section 103, Cutter and Buck, Homefield, Antigua, etc. but what I do have from Adidas has held up well. I would have no complaints about an extended contract, as long as they can get us solid uniforms for every sport. [/QUOTE]
