And thats because Auburn told UA they didn't want their look messed with. I'm sure Auburn's sleeve/shoulder stripes will change a little bit to fit the Nike template but at the end of the day Auburn will look relatively the same as they have for years.Actual Talking Thermos said:
As ugly as a lot of UA uniforms have been, Auburn's always looked great. Super clean and classic. Some of the best around imo.
They had a pretty bad contract with UA as it turned out:45-70Ag said:Auburn athletics signs 10-year apparel deal w/Nike, beginning July 2025. Auburn had been w/Under Armour for past 18 years

Quote:
Auburn has agreed to a new 10-year apparel contract with Nike, a deal that will follow its unique financial arrangement with Under Armour which has decreased in value by $8.6 million because of its equity component.
Back in 2015, Auburn and Under Armour extended their partnership through 2025 in a nine-year deal worth $78.2 million in total value, according to the contract. As part of the arrangement, the school agreed to accept $10 million in Under Armour stock, paid out over the life of the contract - a bet that the apparel company would continue its rapid growth, therefore increasing the school's compensation.
It hasn't worked out. The contract was signed in Sept. 2015, less than a week after Under Armour (NYSE: UAA) hit an all-time high of $54.70. The company has struggled since, including a multiyear restructuring and a handful of leadership changes. With the stock currently trading around $6.80, that stock grant is now worth about $1.4 million, according to Sportico's calculations.

Also they made possibly the best football uniform ever, the Navy "dress whites." They're capable of great things when they keep it simple and clean.Actual Talking Thermos said:

A shoe is just a shoe until you put it on. That said, I don't wear anything Nike because I don't do woke and choose to stand for our National Anthem.
Nike dominates Adidas both domestically and globally.arontc09 said:
It may not look like it from here, but I believe that Adidas is about the same size as Nike, and it serves more sports, better (on average). Nike is huge in the US, but Adidas is bigger in the global market.
As of 2021 Adidas had 37 of the 130 FBS schools (28.5%):drakkies said:
Feels like Nike has taken over everything besides the handful of adidas. How long will adidas hang on?
