So we have as far as i can see on endorsements
Brock: Adidas
Jayden: Adidas
Jaylin: ??
Will: ??
TJ: ??
Tyrese: Puma
Is it possible we would make a switch to Adidas if the money is right? I HATE the uniforms that Adidas puts out... but they're getting better.
A few schools have made some changes recently:
- Texas Tech left UA for Adidas in 24. Notably Mahomes is an Adidas guy.
- Auburn left UA for Nike
- South Carolina leaving UA for Nike in 2026
- Tennessee leaving Nike for Adidas
- Penn St leaving Nike for Adidas
A few years ago, UA had to pay UCLA like $68M in a messy deal with UCLA moving to Nike/Jordan.
I don’t know the economics of which providers are best. ISU doesn’t have is many “T Shirt fans”, so I don’t see us becoming a Jordan school overnight.
Nike is consistent, if boring. They use the same templates over and over. Their fan apparel quality seems to have gotten worse?
Adidas makes some high quality fan apparel, but they apparently lack a “cool” factor. Some of their more creative designs have been duds in years past.
UA may not be in good financial shape, though maybe they’re probably looking to be a big player again?
Would Puma ever get in the college world? That would be interesting.
