Jordan usually puts out some good stuff. Hopefully they'll compete with Nike better than UA and ADIDAS have
I'd prefer only Nike, Jordan, or UA.I read somewhere how much ISU makes off of the Nike deal..it's like among the worst in the Power 5. I don't know when it is renegotiated but I think we can be a bit more pickier..

Iowa State’s Nike contract
This deal, which expires on June 30, 2024, includes $1 million in apparel and $15,000 in cash to the school this school year.
All footwear and equipment, according to the contract, is purchased at 10 percent below wholesale pricing.
Uniforms are purchased at wholesale.
The contract escalates to a total of $1.5 million in apparel and cash in the 2018-19 school year and to $1.76 million during the contract’s final three years.
The performance bonuses for the football team are $2,500 for participating in the Big 12 Conference championship game and $5,000 for winning that game, and $10,000 for playing in a BCS bowl and $30,000 for winning the national title.
In men’s basketball, it’s $5,000 for Sweet 16 participation, $7,500 for the Elite Eight, $10,000 for the Final Four and $30,000 for winning the NCAA Tournament.
Women’s basketball incentives are the same, except that it’s $25,000 for winning the national title.
ISU was Adidas under Eustachy and they were awful unis.
Ah, the good old days, when...
Men's basketball was Adidas.
Women's basketball was Nike.
Football was Russell Athletic.
Wrestling was ASICS and Cliff Keen.
Softball was Easton (I believe).
You get the picture.
Jordan gear is exactly the same as Nike gear. No surprise by now, I live in Michigan. Michigan is a Jordan school, MSU is a Nike school. All you have to do is walk into any ****'s to realize that all of the gear - T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, shorts, polos, etc. - are exactly the same, the only differences being the colors per each school and the brand logo.
I loved the Jordan grey warmups ISU had at one of the NCAA tourney games (one of Niangs later years). I haven't ever seen those for sale.Of course it's the same. Nike really is Jordan, they own the Jordan brand. There is no difference, it's just like Chevy and GMC, they are the same thing.
