Arkansas State has had four different helmet/decal combinations this year after only having one per season for the past 100 years... here's the latest.
This one is world's better than the last one that I saw, Tommy.

FunBelt? Is that the opposite of a chastity belt or is it just a strap-on? :dunno:Quote:

:D
Starting July 1, Cincinnati leaves adidas for Under Armour.

Agreed. Cadets feels more right for Army. A good change in my opinion. Looking forward to seeing what their new logo looks like.
#TheScriptIsDead
I was hoping for something a little more original than the Spartan/Trojan helmet
I'm also hoping they'll still be going as Army in football and elsewhere. The Army West Point-Navy Game just doesn't have the same ring to it as The Army-Navy Game.
#TheScriptIsDead
Yeah, 'cause it totally makes a difference when people refer to the UNC-Chapel Hill - Duke Game ;)Quote:

Even their Twitter account is now Army West Point Sports, Army West Point Football, etc. I'm just wondering if they are planning to use Army West Point as their name in sports or if they'll just stick with Army.Quote:

Does this make it better? It's not exactly new to West Point.Quote:

I really hope those two middle ones, #96 and #80, just aren't having their colors come through very well in that picture. They almost look like black and come across looking very Army like, which would be a HUGE screw up for Under Armor.
#TheScriptIsDead
Okay, definitely the quality of the picture. Those were actually all of last year's uniforms.
#TheScriptIsDead@reddusfoximus @UnderArmour @PhilHecken @UniWatch those were last year's uniforms Ohio State, home and away and Army uniforms.

IIRC, Michigan was the flagship adidas school (even though Nebraska was first to switch to them in mid-90s, but I digress) and was earning $8.2M a year from them. Nike must have backed up a Brinks truck to the door.
Through 2014, it appears the top Nike school was Florida State with $4.4M a year. I'd have to guess this new deal doubles that.
Numbers will be announced next week.Quote:

Mgoblog currently believes that Nike deal is actually worth less than the Adidas deal, but the department went forward to Nike due to player and department preferences for Nike versus Adidas.
I was thinking this may be the best time to enter a long term deal with Michigan. The football program has been down for several years now and that won't last forever.Quote:

Also some rumors that Wisconsin may be eyeing move to Under Armor.
More butt ugly uniforms...
Paul at Uni Watch just slams the nail on the head.
Beastly Bruins
By Paul Lukas, on July 10th, 2015
I can no longer bring myself to get worked up about lousy college football uniforms. The whole enterprise now has little to do with uniform design and is more akin to toy design, with the fairly obvious goal of allowing teen-age athletes (and, by proxy, the portion of their fan base that uses “sick” as a compliment) to indulge in some sort of juvenile comic book superhero fantasy. I don’t even roll my eyes at this stuff anymore — I just put it in the Ticker and move on.
But I’m going to make an exception today for UCLA.
UCLA should always be one the best-looking teams in college football. They have an unbeatable color combo, a unique number font, and a shoulder stripe pattern so iconic that it’s named for the school. How could you screw that up?

I like 'em
Love their shoes but any uni that Adidas touches... they destroy! I'm becoming a big fan of UnderArmour though.
