Notre Dame Switching to UnderArmour

[ickythump1225]

For your convenience

I'm skeptical of Under Armour but that looks pretty good.

 

[ickythump1225]

I'm looking at the jersey and thinking what would have been different if Nike had gotten the contract? Nothing, but the logo.

Well I'm a Nike guy through and through so I'd rather see the swoosh on there but it doesn't really matter.

I hear ya, but there have been some on IE claiming it would be better with Nike because they are so creative and UA would ruin the uniform. I would have been fine with Nike or UA, but just couldn't see where Nike would have a decided advantage in design.

gee, thanks John. it's due to earnings. i'm sure the company factored in the ND deal to some degree in their forward guidance, but they are already killing it. Just go to Dick's Sporting Goods. You'll have Nike in the front and then UA. Reebok and others are buried and will remain buried b/c they stink.

You just miss the oversized shoulder pads and neck rolls.

And the short jerseys, especially on linemen:

Note: Imagine Irish Chocolate with one of these bad boys on for games.

And the short jerseys

When I read this, I immediately thought kuehnja wrote it and was dreaming about Greg Bryant.

 

[Irish8248]

I'm sure the Duck Dynasty brand and Olympic gear help too

Ha yeah I should have seen that coming...

 

[nlroma1o]

Wow... I wish I would have pulled the trigger and bought some shares before the announcement was made. UA stock last night hit $104.76. Up 19% since the announcement on 01/21/14......

Should I get #9 or #1?

Jaylon is my favorite current player so I'm leaning towards that.

I'd go with Jaylon. $42 for a tackle-twill ND jersey is a pretty nice deal.

That's exactly what I'm going to get in Blue. I have a white and green jersey so this is perfect. Birthday present to myself

I'm a big fan of #9-- Rice, Burris, Zbikowski, Rudolph, Nix and now Jaylon. No other # has enjoyed such a run of elite Irish talent over the last couple decades.

bye Adidas, you suck.

 

[OrlaNDomer]

I bought the micoach for when I play soccer...it doesn't work. At all.

 

[arrowryan]

Pretty much everything at the bookstore that is Adidas is at least 25% off, some things are as much as 50% off. The closer we get to the beginning of the Under Armour contract, the prices will continue to drop

 

[JughedJones]

bye Adidas, you suck.

Wow... I can't disagree more.

I love you Adidas... I barely knew ye.

Edit: What's more... folks that don't jump on the shamrock white and green jerseys for 30 dollars are silly.

 

[wizards8507]

The closer we get to the beginning of the Under Armour contract, the prices will continue to drop.

...and if you're M, L, or XL you'll be SOL because those sizes will be all gone.

Is the number and logo embroidered on that one, or is it screen printed on the mesh?

The replicas are all screen printed. The premiers are embroidered. In this case there only replica shamrock jerseys available.

 

[rocket66]

I'm a brand snob. I won't ever be seen in public with ND Adidas gear again. Bring on the UA swag.

presuming now the spring ball uni's etc will be UA

 

[greyhammer90]

white cleats? Do not like.

I could be wrong, but those are probably just sizing cleats and not the actual ND cleat they're going to use.

I hope so. I was fine with it in Dublin for a one time thing, but overall I prefer black.

Agree. Look for some Gold on dark blue cleats. Last yrs cleats were UGLY. 2012 ones were awesome.
