New Apparel and Shoe Deal

[ulukinatme]

Why does every clever guy on here try to out clever the other with another brand to consider that is ridiculous? That shit was played out by the 2nd iteration.

Maybe I'll add a poll to see where everyone is leaning regarding brands.

Tell me you wouldn't like seeing ND rockin' Abercrombie and Fitch gear!

Luv it. Let's play some LFO right before kick off to really get the crowd going.

Why?
Seriously, the world is more interesting with variety, and Notre Dame can pull off being different. It's kind of our thing.

This is a couple years old but breaks down who wears what. Yes Nike/Jordan is the big winner but Wisconsin and South Carolina are also UnderArmour. A&M, Washington and Arizona State, among others, wear adidas. And New Balance haters should check out the hip looks of Boston College.

I thought BC ditched New Balance for Adidas?

Would you rather us argue about 3 stars or indulge in the idea of ND rocking denim jerseys made by Levis?

No, their New Balance deal just started. However, they are with Adidas for football.

Excuse me, sir, but at the University of Notre Dame we refer to them as "chambray."

Go with Vineyard Vines and we could have a seersucker Shamrock Series uniform

 

[INLaw]

Nd fanbase is all boomers though better go with Duluth Trading Company

Got a ton of duluth trading company for Christmas. All of it is fine but for the price and hype its super duper mehh 🤷🏻

You were close with the NY Yankees pinstripe spin-offs aka the worst uniforms in the history of college football.

Champion Brands peak revenue was $99.4M in 2022.

one is not like the other....


NIKE revenue for the twelve months ending February 28, 2023 was $50.626B, a 8.13% increase year-over-year.

Champion makes sweatshirts. They don't make uniform apparel anymore, let alone f'n shoes. You old heads need to move on from the Champion/ glory days obsession.

In the words of 2pac

All these motherfuckers in the Bronx and Brooklyn
And Staten Island, Queens, and all the motherfuckers
That laid it down, the foundation, ya know what I'm sayin'?
Nothin' but love for the old school

Even if we went Jordan Brand.

The champion jersey look would be sweet.

 

[GATTACA!]

I hope we don’t go with Carhartt because I’ll be broke as fuck if we do.

Ferrari is a Puma brand.

Ferrari is an Exor brand.

Ferrari is an Exor brand.

Ferrari has an apparel deal with Puma.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Calvin Klein or bust.

 

[ndfanatic78]

Calvin Klein or bust.

Only if we get an underwear deal included.

who wears underwear?

 

[Giddyup]

In all seriousness we need to ride the Champion wave again. It’s time

I’ve noticed this too on forums all over the internet, regardless of subject matter. Also noticed that people who use Latin phrases as their handle typically lack a sense of humor.

I’m not a big fan of clogging up a live recruiting thread with analysis of various Indianapolis pizza joints, but shitposting about never-gonna-happen apparel partner fantasies in the apparel partner thread seems like a fine way to help pass the off-season to me.

Exactly. We're supposed to say totally random shiit.

Reminds me of something Wes Welker would wear if he were Catholic.

Besides Ferrari Scuderia, they also have Mercedes AMG Petronas and BMW Motorsports

Any chance they arrive some deals with rhoback since they seem to grab a player every year

 

[ACamp1900]

Not Rack Em’s mom

Calvin Klein or bust.

Skechers

 

[IA4irish]

Count me in on Andy Staples’s ides of lulu lemon for apparel and allow the players to wear whatever cleats/shoes they want. That would be huge for basketball. A player like Kyle Hamilton could probably get a huge NIL payment to be sponsored by a different shoe company as well

 

[Rack Em]

Not Rack Em’s mom

Skechers

She’s waiting for Lizzo to launch an underwear company. That’s her last hope for finding any that fit.

on II podcast Prister and O'Malley reckoned ND ends up with a Nike deal but Sampson suggested they might stick with Under Armor due to the NIL opportunities for players

Did he gave any reason why the NIL opportunities won't be there if ND switches to Nike?

Nike has a million other schools and the owner is the #1 Oregon booster. They don't need to promise us NIL stuff. Under armour (or Adidas) would make ND priority #1.
