Huskerbb73 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Sounds like it will be Adidas for 5 more years. 5 years worth $15.53 million($8.03 mill cash and $7.5 mill in apparel). The Board of Regents will vote on it next week. http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/life-in-the-red/huskers-eyeing--year-extension-with-adidas/article_48ac69d0-8837-11e2-ac8e-001a4bcf887a.html Quote
49r Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 If Under Armour was the alternative, as has been rumored here, I for one am damn glad we are sticking with adidas. Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 not a bad deal. Increase the yearly average by 108% and a chance for a sooner renewal than before. Quote
cipsucks Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 not a bad deal. Increase the yearly average by 180% and a chance for a sooner renewal than before. I can't wait for that football game in Norman in 2021. Daledangdarn and 49r 2 Quote
cozrulz Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 The Board of Regents will rubber stamp it next week. Quote
Huskerpapa Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Although I personally would rather have Nike...I am okay with this deal. Quote
FredsSlacks Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Do you think Nike or Under Armour made an offer? Quote
HuskerFever Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Just as poor of a decision as extending the Pepsi contract. #SlightSarcasm Quote

Watch what happens at the end of a H.S. game in Oklahoma. On the line is a trip to the state tourney.... Quote

Nighthawk Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Just as poor of a decision as extending the Pepsi contract. #SlightSarcasm Being a coke drinker I agree. I have contacts with the local Coca Cola bottler. They said that from what they heard Pepsi is pretty much giving away their product to the University, they make next to nothing with pretty much all of the $ going to UNL. Coke said that they could not compete against that. Quote
Cazzie22 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Adidas is who we should stay with for our apparel. Avoid Phil Knight and Nike. 49r, Silverbacked1 and HB 3 Quote
Jadler Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Call me crazy but I like adidas. I wasn't a big fan of the "special" football uniforms, but you win some you lose some. Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Call me crazy but I like adidas. I wasn't a big fan of the "special" football uniforms, but you win some you lose some. I like it because my buddy designs shoes there and I get a yearly Nebraska package. I dont want that to stop. Quote

Introduce me to your buddy, would ya? Hey, I think I could design shoes, too. Three stripes? Not a problem. Quote

Introduce me to your buddy, would ya? Hey, I think I could design shoes, too. Three stripes? Not a problem. He's one of the NBA designers. Basically whenever one of their NBA guys come to town they come to him and work on new designs, pitch stuff, etc. Its funny he will be like yeah I went bowling the other night with Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, and Jrue Holiday. Its crazy how much he travels though. He has to test all his new designs on NBA D-League guys so hes on the road there, or spend a week at Michigan, or UCLA, or Nebraska to talk with equipment staffs during the NBA off-season. Great perk though as I got a FedEx shipment the other day with two pair of 14's of the new D-Rose in red and black because he thought they'd look good with my Nebraska stuff. Quote
FredsSlacks Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Adidas is who we should stay with for our apparel. Avoid Phil Knight and Nike. What do people have against Phil Knight? Are people aware the founder of Adidas was a Nazi? I'm not kidding. Quote

Huskerbb73 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 Just as poor of a decision as extending the Pepsi contract. #SlightSarcasm Being a coke drinker I agree.

They said that from what they heard Pepsi is pretty much giving away their product to the University, they make next to nothing with pretty much all of the $ going to UNL. Coke said that they could not compete against that. You are pretty correct with this. I was an account manager with Coke at the time and Pepsi basically sold themselves to get the contract and we could not match. There was a time when the campus was a split campus. Coke had the rights to all the concessions and Pepsi had the rights to the vending services around campus. The University put out that they were going to accept bids for an exclusive contract. Coke just couldn't match what they offered. It's all about $$$$$$. It just didn't look like a smart business decision at the time to match or exceed what Pepsi had offered. Quote
49r Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 It's a crying shame, too. Coke > Pepsi Jadler 1 Quote
cipsucks Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 It's a crying shame, too. Coke > Pepsi Rum is the great equalizer in that comparison. Quote
