[QUOTE="GTRambler, post: 579539, member: 4009"] Well, in terms of the quality of GT-themed athletic clothing that has been made available for purchase by GT fans, I don’t believe “the Adidas stuff is miles better than Russell ever was.” I still have a number of Russell GT coaches polos, athletic sweatshirts, sweat pants, jackets, etc. that I have purchased as a GT fan through the course of many years. They all have worn well through many washes due to the quality of their materials and workmanship. At least so far as I can determine, the quality of the Adidas clothing that has been made available for sale to GT fans thus far is of a similarly high level. But this is not to overlook the fact that Adidas is “miles better than Russell” when it comes to outfitting GT’s athletes and coaches in practice clothing, game uniforms, and shoes. The diversity of the clothing, the shoes, and the total monetary value of such to the overall GT athletic program is certainly miles better, and is likely of equal if not better quality. Perhaps the biggest difference, to me as a “regular ‘ol GT sports fan,” is the fact that Russell never made and sold athletic shoes. Adidas has historically been and continues to be strong in this area, and this is true for the athletes, the coaches, and the fans. [/QUOTE]
