The Official 2019 Adidas Swag Thread

[MidtownJacket]

Will let you know when I get mine (if I get mine!) if it is waterproof.

I also bought one for shipping to Texas. Will let you know if mine comes first. I bought two sizes as I’m normally between a large and xl with their stuff. So can report back on that too

Just replying to show folks what we believe this jacket actually looks like - it is believed that this jacket on CGC is the jacket.

Looks different there. Still nice, but the photo posted earlier looks better.

I guess I’ve just gotten such a bad taste in my mouth over the inconsistent sizing as a (former) Adidas golf retailer that I can’t get past it. I saw it in everything...inconsistent shirt sizing (style to style, and even within the same style, with shoes...everything.

I've coached soccer for ages and we have always worn Adidas. The guy who does our uniforms has always told me that Adidas sizing varies so much due to the fact that some of their stuff is designed for Europe first and therefore a little smaller, and some of the stuff is made for the American market first and is sized larger......sometimes too big. A lot of our fan wear/football gear falls into this category. Some of the items though were made for soccer team fan wear as well and I bet a lot of that stuff is probably on the European sizing. It does make it hard to know what to get and makes it seem inconsistent.

All that said...Adidas is still my favorite brand. I've used them for team uniforms and footwear for 20 years and have always had a good experience.

Just an FYI-- the Game Mode Long Sleeve Gold 1/4 Zip has finally shown up as in stock on the bookstore website. Now, is this accurate? Who knows. But I ordered one--will let y'all know if I get a follow up email saying it's backordered....

All of the photos (not actual photos) on the bookstore website appear to be the same "Tech Gold" color, but basically like Russell, the color is not the same on different items/materials. Of course, the lighting from that photo may have made it look lighter, but I believe it probably will be lighter.

Well I'm American, fat and proud lol. I need American sizing where men are on average 5'10 and 240lbs lol

The gold jacket is not waterproof. It may be water repellent in a light drizzle, but it'll be soaked in a rain. A waterproof jacket like this would be at least $150.

That’s what I was trying to say. True waterproofing will not be anywhere near this price point. DWR spray “repellent “ can be, but that’s more or less worthless without a waterproofing membrane under the face fabric.

 

[gtwcf]

Based on the description, its probably the same material that's in the Game Mode shirts and polos, which won't be waterproof at all. It will be thicker than the quarter zips that were sold last year.

EDIT: Plain weave on the quarter zip vs double weave on the shirt and polo...so will likely have a different finish.

Just ordered mine!

Picked this up in the bookstore today... haven’t seen it online, so I’m pretty sure it’s a new hat. Was not in the bookstore last week.

This will be a purchase in about 3 hours for me

That’s why I got it. I really wanted the white 404 Day cap, as it’s white, but...

I do like the white better, but this is nice. Around $25?

$25 on the nose. Plus tax of course.

Wore my adidas game mode white polo today for the first time, and it got a pull in it. No idea when, nothing touched my chest except the strap on my cooler. Pretty disappointed though. Bought a The Game hat, gold, and white under armour polos after the game, will be trying to return the adidas polos.

The Under Armour polos (the most expensive ones, the $64.xx priced ones) are the best polos in the store. Both in the gold and the white.

One of the ones I bought was the one you are describing, the other was the slightly cheaper $59 one because they didn't have my size in that color in the $64 polo available. I think both are probably better than the adidas stuff though.

Yeah, the cheaper one you mention is still good. And won't pick near as badly as the Adidas polos. The slightly higher price point UA polo is such a good feeling shirt to wear. And even has an almost "honeycomb" pattern on the exterior of the tight weave material that I haven't seen on any other UA polo, and I retail UA in my proshop. So I'm not sure if it's done specifically for us or not, but it looks really cool. Especially on the gold polo.
