Why do we stay with Russell Athletic?

Michael Jordan shakes the world by saying, ‘the ceiling is the roof’

Some funny reaction in there including


You can also now buy 'The Ceiling is the Roof' t-shirts for the low low price of $25...

Would be funny if MJ trolled himself by releasing a T-Shirt with his famous jumpman logo hitting its head on a ceiling...

It's funny, because when it come to our D in FB, I was thinking the Roof was the floor. Eeeeyyyyoooo

I like what adidas is doing with the boost technology but I was looking at there website and the uniforms they come up with in march are just as bad as Russell.

 

[Peacone36]

Don't mind the unis but those shoes......are another story

 

[RyanS12]

True. These such a big drop off from Nike to everyone else.

 

[GTFLETCH]

If we are trying to overcome our recruiting negatives... it is really between UA and Nike as Adidas would not be much of a step up from RA...

Now if we are talking money then it is between UA and Adidas and whoever offers the most we need to go with as Nike does not need us.

The constant in this is UA... I suspect we get a 3M per year offer from UA nd some marketing/branding perks that I hope we use.

 

[RyanS12]

I'm really hoping Nike decides to jump in. Personally, I'm not a fan of UA or Adidas as far as design for uniforms, especially Adidas. Shoe wise, Adidas is far above UA. There boost technology is superior to anything Nike has for comfort, but appearance wise, Nike has them beat. I just dont see us having much apeal to Nike. Ultimately I think it ends up being UA but whomever it is it'll be 100 times better than what we have now.

Just rcvd a pair of shorts off fanatics made by "coliseum" and I must say I really like em. Also got a RA "stealth" woven pullover. It's pretty nice

If you make a custom team uniform on Russell's website, you can choose between "Gold" and "GT Gold" as color options. That's pretty cool at least...

 

[RyanS12]

GT gold is something I hope we can patten with our new deal.

all gold schools have had trouble with shades of gold no matter who makes the unis

 

[RyanS12]

Hopefully we pick a shade and stick with it

Nike or bust.

Nike or bust.

I'm still with you, brutha. Me and you will probably go down with that ship ...

... well, I'll probably trip you up as I leap from the ship juuust in time but who's counting.

Idk about this. Watching a Cal, Iowa, Wake Forest, even a UCF game all the golds are consistent. Only at GT, that 10 fans can walk in stadium and not one have the same shade of gold

 

[Ibeeballin]

Yeah those shoes are not the greatest appealing shoe but this what is has going for it:

1) they are James Harden signatures shoes and a team exclusives. Kids are sheep when it comes to that type of stuff

This shoe and the adidas Crazy explosives are have been voted by many sources as the Best Basketball shoes on the market. The jerseys are not bad either.

As @RyanS12 stated, there is nothing from the Big 3 that stands completely out. Imo currently:

Shoes/technology:
Adidas> Nike & UA combine

Designs
Nike>UA>Adidas

Apparel
UA>Nike>Adidas

Appeal
Nike>=Adidas> UA

I meant changing golds throughout the years.

The more I see these women's jerseys Nike keeps putting on men's cbb teams, the more I lean toward UA for us.
