Guess they aren't winning the natty anytime soon

Can we just trade them spots?

I'd rather be team #100 in Nikes eyes than #1 in Adidas

Even if it means getting substantially less money?

Of all the dumb things TexAgs whines about, the Nike thing is the dumbest.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Adidas (it's a world renowned brand), they make good looking merch, AND they like to give us more money than Nike.

Tenn and Penn State switching to them should be an immediate indication that Adidas is legit.

That's one of the most pathetically, pitiful, diffident things I've ever read on here.
You're an A&M man. Act like it.

Switch to Nike in 1993, zero football national championships since then.

Used Russell Athletics through most of the 90's, and early 2000's. Switched to Adidas in 2007.

Adidas >>> Oregon based Nike crap…

Nike backs ThRosa Parks(Collin Kapernik) and LeFlop James. They have lost their way and influence with their wokeness. Honestly most everybody I know wears Adidas, Hoka or OC now. I haven't bought a pair of Nikes in 15 years or so.

Nah, we were Nike when I was in school from 1994.

I was talking about Penn St (the subject of this thread). Just pointing out what brand the team wears has little to no impact on winning a championship.

The #1 Nike school has never won one

Indeed Nike did take over in 93 or 94, it was Russell Athletics until then.

Did you mean switched to Nike after 1939 zero National Championships since then?

Why would anyone preferring one brand over another be so upsetting to you?

We should become a Bike Athletic school.












Weird. I honestly didn't know they were still in operation.

Adidas is better and is able to make things that are actually maroon.

He's not saying that he's upset about other folks' brand preferences. He's saying that preferring to be in 100th place for brand A is better than being in 1st place for brand B is pathetic. Which it is. We're not comparing McLaren to Yugo here. We're comparing two global brands that are often made by the same factories.

No, he's taking one exaggerated comment and using it to generalize that anybody who likes Nike is wrong. In reality he's just another weirdo who frequents the politics board and makes everything about woke politics, and now he's dragging that echo chamber over into the football board. If Nike offered ten times as much and we switched to them, he'd still be outraged.

1. Nike thinks Maroon is purple (okay I'm sure this would be fixed now)
2. I'd rather focus on switching to Coke over Pepsi than Nike over Adidas

Who cares. I want to win. I'll take a title whilst wearing jeans and tank tops vs being average and bickering about who ships us our gear.

Man, not just presumptive but psychic too?
Apparently not a very good one unfortunately.
My comment was directly related to the milquetoast comment about a preference to play 100th fiddle over being a top dog.
You wanna talk about being overly emotional about a brand? THAT is exhibit "A". And frankly, just sad. I expect the best for A&M. Sorry you don't.

Furthermore, perhaps the second most tired and ridiculous trope on this board is the trained seal response/attempted insult of pointing out that someone has the gall to post on the Politics board AND other boards. Oh, the absolute horror! Man, you're right I must be an absolute weirdo to take an interest in things that actually have an impact on our lives AND things that don't (college sports). If only we could all stand around with our fingers plugging our ears and live in a world of butterflies and unicorn poop insulting anyone with an IQ above room temperature who has the AUDACITY to post on THAT board and others.

Finally, please find and quote ANYTHING I've posted in this thread or any other on this board that "makes everything about woke politics". I'll wait. Spoiler alert: You can't. Because I didn't and I don't. But the narrative must be served after all because apparently you're incapable of having your views challenged (about tennis shoe companies of all things) and any sort of mature interaction. No, it's far easier to succumb to group think (what were you saying about echo chambers?) and ad hominems.
Now hurry up run to that "personal attack" flag even though I didn't and yours remains on full display (pretty tolerant and woke of me, no?)

The obsession with Nike is weird to me. I will take Adidas all day over Nike. I don't own anything Nike after they went on their social agenda tirade.

Hard to believe anyone could get this unhinged over a sneaker brand. Did spending a chunk of your day writing all that out make you feel better? The internet is serious business, huh?

I care far less about the 'woke' politics than I do about Oregon getting a blank check from uncle Phil to poach the best players in Texas (and the rest of the country for that matter).

How'd that work out for Bralon Addison?

Nike is better just is.

Go with Ridell and be done with it.

Ehh, they make good sneakers. I own a pair of dunks, blazers, and a few pairs of air forces. They're good quality shoes.

Love the gaslighting and goalpost moving. Typical of your ilk.
Maybe if I type slower, you'll get it.
My preference is whichever company pays us more and makes us a priority. Perhaps if you could read at above a third grade level that would be clear to you.
My last response was a retort to your, well, stupid and lazy accusation that I was "jUsT aNoThEr PoLiTiCs bOaRd PoStEr" ranting about wokeness. I didn't write a word about politics or "woke"…all YOUR insecure additions to the thread.
And to absolutely no one's surprise, you chose to ignore my challenge of offering any proof of your assertion…because you can't, of course.
Finally, that last comment took me about 5 minutes give or take to type out on my phone. I realize it may have taken a "chunk of a day" for someone with your staggering intellect but for those of us who don't breathe through our mouths, putting thought to paper isn't a struggle.

Edit to add: Oh and nothing worse than the "internet is serious business" guy after he kicks the hornets nest and gets pantsed.

Tell us you mostly post on the politics board without telling us you mostly post on the politics board. Who hurt you, Hank? Are you always this dramatic?

We may not have had a deal with them but we were wearing Nike long before 1993. Bucky was wearing Nike at some point and he was gone after 1991.

Keep in mind that except for the shoes and some of the apparel, none of the items are actually made by Nike, Adidas, Under Armor, etc. I think a lot of the apparel is contracted out and other stuff, like game balls, just gets branded Nike/etc. A company in Richardson makes the footballs A&M and virtually every other college team (at least, DI) uses.

Other than the cash that changes hands, its only a few steps up from "Chicos Bail Bonds."

Once again, my post was about PENN ST, the subject of the OP.
