You'd love my football team. Bright Yellow, Navy Blue. I'm not sure on that one though just because of sponsors and how they'd sit across it

hey speaking of which

I don't want to derail this too much back into other sports but when talking about some of the more :stare:-worthy kits coming out this year (especially these striped Nike kits) it bears repeating.

Here's the University of Michigan's football uniform, blue and yellow. One of the top, traditional powerhouse teams of American college football, and last year's uni modeled by Denard Robinson



Recently Nike and now Adidas have the UM athletics contract for all their sports. But the football uniform never changes — really all that visually changed is swapping the swoosh for the three stripes badge. You know why that happened? Because Michigan probably has that written in their contract. "Thou shalt not gently caress with our home uniform," or something similar.

Now take a look at some of these teams you're :gonk:-ing at the uniforms of and remember: Sure, Nike/Adidas/Puma/whomever may be batshit crazy for coming up with the kits, but the clubs are just as guilty. They've either allowed them to happen and are kind of stupid, or signed away their right to veto the kit makers (and equally stupid in that regard). So, yeah, Nike deserves some heat for those designs...but it takes two to tango, as they say.

The Mash

You have to say I can open my presents
Alternatively, the clubs know they can make more money by allowing total freedom to the kitmaker, and they'd rather have an extra £5m a year than gorgeous kits.

This and the big ten schools get crazy tv revenue every year, and the NCAA teams also get to charge a bunch of kids $30,000+ a year to go there.

This I know, but there might be 500 kids on a full athletic scholarship from the school, and a school like Penn State (I know more about penn state than mich) has almost 80,000 undergrads, spread across all campuses, getting charged about 15,000+ a year. The amount of kids getting a free ride very small so the school still profits.

fake edit: more kids will be on scholarships, however all most all of them will be on third party scholarships paid to the school. This last part I'm not 100% on, but I'm pretty sure that is how it goes with academic scholarships, grants, etc.

Maybe you forgot or maybe you don't know what you're talking about, but these happened less than 3 years ago.



Yes, they were an abomination and didn't last long. But is was still change.

I was mostly talking about the Michigan homes as evidence that teams can resist the change. Nike and Adidas have done things like that on the aways in recent years, yes, but that's frankly mild compared with many other schools' uniforms. Go check back a couple pages at Oregon, for reference.

Yeah I'd give it a week or two and then fire off an email if you still have nothing. The guy Sean who I emailed has always been really helpful.

When the lettering fell off my porto shirt a couple years ago he offered me another shirt free of charge. So I got a chelsea 3rd kit for free and didnt even have to send the porto one back. booya.
