I know our Nike deal is coming up. Anyone know when the current one expires and whether any negotiation is happening?

I view our next apparel deal as critical both in terms of revenue and perception. If we have a top deal it will go a long way toward reinforcing our perception as 'blue chip' athletic department program. If we don't if will go a long way to reinforce the impression that we are an athletic department on the decline.

I just hope we don't go through another radical uniform change, unless we get the block C back.

Let's stick with what we have. Some stability would be nice.

The Russell Athletic uniforms are pretty sick.

Agree, although I'd take an upgrade to the @Penfield white dog:

[As an aside, if google Penfield white dog this turns up in images. @Penfield has made the big time.]

GaTech

GaTech

Is the official soft drink of GaTech RC Cola?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

GaTech

Yeah it looked it up. There are some articles about how recruits don't wanna wear Russel Athletic. Why on earth would Georgia Tech sign a deal with them?

 

[uconnphil2016]

My guess is that we go UA given DBs deal with them at Auburn and the fact that our last couple of football uniform designs have been a joke. UA seems to give more attention to all of their accounts, at least in designing unique uniform designs and a lot of alternates.

This reminds me...has anyone else thought that we look like walking pepsi cans in our new jersey scheme?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I can't really picture us not in Nike but I'm very open to the best suitor

Eh. Tough to imagine ND or Wisconsin or Michigan leaving Adidas at one point too! I would really love to see us in Under Armour.

Write a big enough check and I don't care if we wear New Balance.

@huskymedic is right the deal expires in June of 2018..here is the Couranrt article form when it was approved by the BOT back in June of 2008:
Uconn Trustees Approve Nike Deal

I had the privilege of talking to Kyle Muncy in the parking lot at the Tulane game last season. I was blunt and asked him about the apparel deal and if UA would be a player. His exact quote was this "The talks have already started on a new shoe/apparel contract and Under Armour doesn't have any money left in the coffers for a school like UConn after their deal with Wisconsin,.....Nike makes a LOT of money off of UConn apparel sales. With the schools they have recently lost to UA and Adidas they are going to step up to keep us"

If you look at the special edition college ID shoes Nike put out this year, the UConn version was one of the more popular shoes. I'm going to go all in on what Kyle said and say that the deal with Nike is going to be renewed. If Nike isn't the choice then someone stepped out of the shadows and is going to pay HUGE $$.

If that's the case, boy have recruits become so spoiled. Auburn, at least, was wearing them around 10 years ago.
