Are you happy with Adidas? (Poll)

[Cam]

I kind of talked about this in the other adidas thread. But I think, based on current contracts, it should be between $33-$40MM. Though adidas has been overpaying schools a bit lately (likely to price out Under Armour), so it might be closer to $50MM. They have like 7 of top 15 richest apparel deals. Mind you, we're getting $2.3MM a year currently from Russell, so anything over $13.8MM is a more lucrative contract.

From what TS said the final details are still being worked on so I wouldn't expect to see any "firm" numbers for a bit. Here's hoping for 5-6MM year!

Yea, I did that when I priced the stuff at the robbery. Since i was a student the manager assumed that i would be good at math. We needed a set profit on each item - I applied it to the wrong denominator = price increase. After a while the ladies at the counter mentioned it. Since sales remained steady so we left the price as I calculated - hence the name Robbery. (We lost money on many items like the drafting packets so it wasn't pure evil capitalism). A very useful lesson I later used in business contracts for services as well as pipeline tariff calculations

Gt is great

It will be nice, or crowd pleading I suppose, to have one shade of Gold.

I do prefer, if we ever wear Gold Shirts, to have White numerals. And if necessary, only the very slughtest of Blue trim.

But I am not sure if it will ever be possible to match plastic, helmet Gold with fabric Gold. Unless it is very bland and somewhat "yucky" looking. (2008?)

Time will tell.

This article should make you feel better about Adidas and the ground they're gaining on Nike...as opposed to UA who a lot were in favor of due to ties their CEO had with GT. UA has not been doing well at all the past couple of years.

Nike is still the elephant in the room, but Adidas is experiencing a resurgence and is becoming a MAJOR player in the athletic apparel and footwear space.

Love the video they put out for NC State from the last page of this thread. Can't wait to see some cool GT spots

Hope we get enough money to invest in technology to improve the team. Was reading about XRD shoulder pads and they sound pretty impressive. Tech should be a technology leader in football.

Benchmark
Adidas to Louisville 16,000,000$ per year for 10 years. How much less do we project to add to this manufacturer in the free market? Why? Lack of street fans?

Why in the Hell would anyone want UA?

I always watched the World Cup & Olympic soccer "fütbol", but after going to some AtlUnited games, I'm a true convert..

Best sporting experience I've been to.
Now I want to go to Europe and check it out.

I was either Adidas or Jordan Brand (Nike), for cool factor and exclusivity.

GT definitely has more to lose, and little to gain by playing GA State. GA State would be the biggest benefactor of the matchup.

After tonight, I don't think ANYBODY has to worry about losing ANYTHING to GS (that's Georgia State to you deniers...)

GA State can't get out of their own way. Yuck.

I like Adidas however I don't care who supplies GT's shoes as long as the Jackets win

Kennesaw State will rip Georgia State a new one in 2018. I think Georgia State will be in trouble with the KSU football program on the rise.

I like it. That matte gold helmet looks good too.

Nice!

Are those the Georgia Tech test Unis for Adidas?

Yeah that's a pretty good shade, I'd go with just a tad darker but it's on the right track. I would also prefer a little more design elements, like some shoulder stripes or something...all white jerseys just look kinda awkward to me.

Speaking of ugly uniforms. Anyone see Maryland's helmets today? That has to be the ugliest helmet I've ever seen.

If this is what they are selling at WalMart, then I can't wait to see what they do with our team! They have the right gold IMO
