Maryland nepotism

9/9/2010 11:16:15 PM

Would've preferred Nike, but I like most of the Under Armor unis I've seen. I'm just hoping the apparel is an upgrade. The stuff Adidas puts out is downright hideous

9/9/2010 11:38:37 PM

is this a fucking joke?

fuck me, and fuck debbie yow.

I wish we were Nike in every sport other than baseball. Keep Majestic in baseball. I'd rather have Adidas than Under Armour.

Have you looked at the Adidas NC State apparel? Hell, have you looked at our football uniforms since Adidas took over? There's no way Under Armour could do any worse. Some other Under Armour schools:

Auburn
Utah
Texas Tech
South Carolina
South Florida
Boston College

9/10/2010 1:28:12 AM

I know Adidas hasn't been good, but I haven't seen any Under Armour stuff that I wanted to buy all that badly either. Maybe I just haven't seen enough. I just hope the baseball team sticks with Majestic. Does Under Armour do the jerseys for basketball too?

Can't be any worse.

I just hate the Maryland connection. Kevin Plank and Debbie Yow must be good buddies.

9/10/2010 7:10:30 AM

It's not Nike, but it's better than Adidas

9/10/2010 7:11:08 AM

Anything has to be better than that shit addidas puts out

9/10/2010 7:45:56 AM

Under Armour has some pretty cool stuff

My brother has worked in the AD for both USF and South Carolina... the apparel he wears from each school is a huge upgrade over Adidas

9/10/2010 8:01:28 AM

Apparently this won't happen until our adidas contract runs out. Also apparently we are getting new adidas basketball jerseys' this year.

Oh lord here we go again.

This will be the first true test of Yow's AD prowess .

Gravis has said new jerseys this year for basketball and they are adidas. So I'm assuming later (as in when the deal expires).

9/10/2010 8:25:28 AM

9/10/2010 8:32:03 AM

I agree those were hideous. Hopefully Debbie Yow will just let us put State across the front

9/10/2010 8:33:04 AM

^ Paging kevmcd86 to send her an email

9/10/2010 8:40:23 AM

Since Debbie Yow has been AD we have a new gopack.com which is awesome and a new wolfpack club site which is awesome. I know these had to have been in the works before she arrived but I'm sure she had to sign off on them. So I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt in regards to our jerseys for now at least.

9/10/2010 8:43:15 AM

thanks aimorris, nice find.

9/10/2010 8:43:18 AM

^^ I don't know if it would be her job or the Wolfpack Club's, but someone needs to replace the two block S' on the back of Vaughn Towers. They have faded really badly which downgrades the Vaughn Towers appeal IMO

9/10/2010 8:49:53 AM

Under Armor is nowhere NEAR as bad as Adidas, guys. The shit Adidas has been churning out for us over the years has always looked fucking AWFUL.

9/10/2010 9:07:59 AM

I have no problem with this, I'd prefer Nike, but anything is better than fucking Adidas

9/10/2010 9:09:55 AM

I love Under Armor gear. I see this as a big improvement.

These are also the old style block S' with the empty square in the C instead of the Black rectangle...

not a huge deal but consistency would be nice.

9/10/2010 9:28:33 AM

Nike>>>>>Under Armour >>Adidas


meh. Adidas sucked, especially in the licensed apparel side of things, but under armour uniforms (specifically bball and football) are ugly as hell IMO

9/10/2010 9:29:09 AM

I too hate the Maryland connection, however, Adidas sucks ass. Our uni's are easily some of the ugliest high school looking jerseys in the league.

I will however miss the look of the white adidas state hat. Every time I see it I think of TOB and football.

9/10/2010 9:33:52 AM

I think UA has gotten a lot better with their football jerseys... they used to be really ugly, with a lot of unnecessary piping and stuff

nothing wrong with these two

9/10/2010 9:35:48 AM

the shirts the football coaching staff wore last week were LOL

9/10/2010 9:35:52 AM

i have been summoned...

9/10/2010 9:39:34 AM

Nike certainly makes some good football uniforms (think Alabama, Michigan), but also makes some awful "prototypes" (think Oregon, or Va Tech/Boise State from Monday night). Under Armour's uniforms seem to fall between the extremes, and I hope we go more traditional. Maryland's uniforms honestly don't look that bad (lets just keep our colors red and white, not red and black). Another gripe with Under Armour is they tend to promote the brand in the apparel over the school, with Under Armour slogans on every school t shirt, etc.

9/10/2010 9:42:38 AM

The team picture is with the old jerseys. Hopefully the new jerseys will be released soon. Red Rally is October 15, so I wonder if they are trying to keep it a secret for that.

9/10/2010 9:43:25 AM

Those VaTech uni's were god awful

9/10/2010 9:43:59 AM

^ the Boise uniforms were quite awesome though.

Not that Michigan's uni's would change anyway, but they are an Adidas school now

9/10/2010 9:48:16 AM

if they convinced usf to get rid of those pee-pee colored helmets then bring em on

9/10/2010 9:48:50 AM

usc's are pretty traditional looking.

Return of the nSc diamond helmets!

9/10/2010 9:55:48 AM

I still like Nike the best, but this is a positive step for the fan gear. As long as we go to a university wide deal, that will provide the best tangible results for fans. That and blow up and rebuild the bookstore.....we need that in the worst way!

9/10/2010 9:56:31 AM

You guys care WAY TOO much about what uniforms look like.

That said, I disagree and think that UA is WAY better than A.... I also think the VT uniforms from Monday night were Fucking Awesome.

Damn you for bringing me into such a gay ass topic.

9/10/2010 9:57:11 AM

it's more about fan apparel than uniforms to me

adidas blows

9/10/2010 9:58:21 AM

Its got nothing to do with the UNI's on the field for me. It has everything to do with the selection online and in stores for the fans. Adidas just isn't cutting it for me. I actually like their authentic uniforms/what the team wears now.
