1988 just called. They want their hot take back.Going UA or Adidas would be program suicide. Both pathetic when it comes to hoops. Pathetic in general actually.

I agree regarding Nike being number 1 but I think Adidas is a reasonable 2nd place and not a huge step down. UA is obviously 3.I disagree on adidas. They’ve stepped up their b-ball shoes the last 4-5 years. They seem to be up and down over the years though.
That said, Nike is obviously king when it comes to hoops - which is why I wouldn’t worry about this.

Dude..good one! Seriously though do you play the game? Did you play the game? If so you’d understand that both companies have ZERO street cred. ZERO. No one is waiting for the new James harden or Dame lillard to drop and they’re superstars in the game. Better believe kids care when KD and Kobe and kyrie sneakers come out. Its a thing and considering the joke you came with I don’t expect you to understand. Nike is king and the only reason adidas is even in the game is because of the dollars. You give 10 kids an option of which brand and 9/10 pick Nike every time. The only other acceptable option is Jordan.

I’d like to respectfully disagree. Adidas is awful man. Yes they’ve done a much better job as of late. They have some big names. But at the end of the day it’s adidas. This isn’t soccer. I don’t know if you remember or not but for a while adidas had a terrible rap of causing bad injuries and ruining careers. ACL Achilles along with the Derek Rose saga. I’m sorry but anything other then Nike/Jordan would be a terrible decision and have lasting consequences. Boeheim knows.
Doesn't anyone want a Converse Chuck Taylor?
Nike needs to sell the same kind of jackets and sweatshirts for Syracuse that schools like Duke and Kentucky get. If you look on there now it’s ridiculous!The Wildhack blog sure makes it seem like Nike is ready to re-up with the Orange.
Seems almost certain SU is re-signing with Nike.
Are we bringing the old logo back?
This is being sold on the SU bookstore website:

In stock at university sports shop at great northern right now.
I bought this not too long ago. It’s got Melo’s name and number on the back. Nike did these for a bunch of NBA stars like Durant, Chris Paul, Kyrie, Draymond Green, etc.
I had to have something with that logo on it again! Even if it’s not brought back on the uniforms, it would be nice to have it available on gear from time to time. I bought a cursive Syracuse t- shirt a couple years ago too. Wish we’d get back to that on the unis too. The whole “simplify the branding” with a boring S that looks just like Michigan St’s and Stanford was a mistake IMO.
Still available, only S and M though:
Nike College Future Star Replica T-Shirt - Men's at Champs Sports
Nike is dealing from a position of extreme strength today. UnderArmour having financial challenges caused by trying to broaden their category breadth beyond their core. adidas is dealing with the fallout from the FBI investigation. Reebok is dead, Champion never materialized in footwear and Puma hasn’t come bank the way they hoped to. Best case would be a short term extension with Nike while the market resettles.
For some reason Nike has stopped selling as much Syracuse gear to fans.
If you go to the Nike website and type “Syracuse” in the search bar, only 2 items come up. A hoodie and a hat(neither one of them Orange, of course). Both at discount prices. Which means there’s absolutely nothing new on their site for Syracuse. Hmmmm...
I know. It’s kind of sad. We used to get a lot of neat gear.If you go to the Nike website and type “Syracuse” in the search bar, only 2 items come up.
