The Official 2019 Adidas Swag Thread

[yeti92]

OK, time for the 2019 gold game mode polo review:

Color - matches the gold 1/4 zip 2018 pullover very closely (maybe just a very slight bit darker, but almost exactly the same)
Feel of material - feels like a very light, moisture wicking material, and it appears to be well made (one note that this particular shirt has the buttons where you can see them instead of the placard cover on shirts last year - I like the buttons showing)
Logo - not embroidered (really thought it would be this year, but the one I got last year has held up well with the heat transfer version)
Sizing - I wear a large, and this fits true to size, but I do like the short sleeve shirts to have slightly longer sleeves (I have long arms) than this shirt has - but, again, this is similar to the polo I bought in 2018

Happy I purchased the shirt, and happy it is the "Tech Gold", but I would still love for Tech Gold to be a little darker. I still wish the 2 hats I have bought this year were not so different than "TECH gold", but again, they are quality apparel, just not gold on this polo.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Heat transfer logo is disappointing. Anybody know if the other adidas polos, I think called climacool, are embroidered logos?

Also, I found this HILARIOUS.
It says college colors and it's like 85% navy!!! Hahahahahaha our colors are disappearing before our eyes. Soon they will just change the official school colors to NAVY, some gold, and accented in white. View attachment 6414

More and more obvious this is a weird push by GTAA. I fully expect our graphics packages on ESPN this year to be very blue. Honestly it feels like there is some kind of disconnect between what Stansbury says in public and what the AA is actually doing regarding branding and merchandising.

If they were smart they would put Morpheus in charge of all of our branding and merchandising.... that dude does a hell of a job and knows what our brand should be using our colors.

Yeah I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on a heat transfer logo Polo. The descriptions for the climacool say embroidered but I've only seen those in white and gray.

Mark this date for posterity. kg and sand1 just agreed on a uni issue.

You should all be a-scared.

Crisis averted. I do not agree with us no longer wearing white at home.

I .... was hacked yesterday.

The heat transfer stuff from adidas has been VERY durable, FYI. I’ve had zero problems with the stuff I purchased as far back as almost 2 years ago

Conspiracy I do really wish the gold stuff would be more frequent and dominant, but it appears that Adidas is not going "all in" on our Tech Gold for whatever reason.

I hear you guys; it is definitely a less expensive way to make the shirt. I will say the "rubberized" logo on the polo I bought last year still looks new through many wears and washes. It does appear to be a solid, quality transfer logo, but I would like the embroidered GT as well.

I was just getting on to post this exact comment. If I recall you and I were some of the first lucky few to get our original adidas stuff.

I haven’t had any issues with the heat transfers either and was just thinking this morning while running in 100° weather that it felt much better than a heavy thread based logo. I’m coming around to them.

So I went to Kohls tonight. I tried on this shirt. I believe it was the climalite version of their shirts.

Man are they snug. I'd say they are a full size lower than listed. The XL fit like a athletic large. The XXL fit like an athletic XL. I'd definitely advise going up one size on these. The sleeves were even short on the XL like it was a medium or small large. View attachment 6413

Yeah i had to take my shirt back because it to short for my liking. It barely touched my waistline, so i can only imagine the length after a wash. I like the fit overall though

Considering the white unis have the 150 patch on them, i think it’s safe to say there will be no changes to our road jerseys. No stinger on the helmet

The question is will the gold tops have stingers or the gradient pattern like these

Ugh. The gold number on the white jersey comes off as more yellow. I know it's hard to match golds but sheesh

 

[yeti92]

Why is the gold on the numbers so off from the rest??? It can't be this hard

Morpheus brands well towards 16-22yo athletes. I don't want him making my tshirts. He does seem to have a grip on knowing your audience that GTAA can't figure out though (granted their audience is way more broad).

It’s probably a filter on the pic plus the lighting. Not bad in this pic

I just don't think they are trying very hard.

 

[GTThor]

Maybe they are trying to please everyone, but in reality they are pleasing no one.
We are trying too hard.
Just pick something and stick to it. Either people will like it or they won't. It's not the end of the world.

 

[gt69hjcollins]

It is obvious the Adidas color coordinators suck. The numbers do not match anything. They need to put in a little quality control.

I want this below, in Old Gold and White.
