Shoes don’t make that big a deal anymore . They can’t pay players under the table like they were. In fact with kids now able to make money on their likeness that’s what we need to be looking at . I saw today thy figure Bo can turn 6 figures so Cooper should be able to ad well. We need to find some folks that can manage this likeness business . Becoming a Nike school means we can finally protect our home turf in state for basketball. It would ensure we get the majority of the top kids in Alabama. They either go to Alabama or out of state. All the top AAU teams in Alabama are sponsored by Nike. It still makes a huge difference. The shoe companies still have a huge hand in college bball crutin. Bruce plus Nike recruiting equals taking our great recruiting to being a elite recruiting basketball program. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToraGirl 5,498 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Know not the answer, but know of the "Uncle Phil's Camp for DayGlo Children." (Wish I could remember who coined that phrase!) If Auburn does hikey to Nike, does that unleash a cool million new uniform threads?! 🤫🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very good question. Not sure how much leverage Nike has in those negotiations but it does seem like every Nike school does at least some of that.

Beaker 2,457 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 plain and simple - I don't like Nike. if it helps Bruce Pearl /Auburn (and football) - go with Nike. Simple. No sense in giving anyone an advantage. dumb 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednilla 5,405 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I like UA products. Never had a pair of their shoes (I wear New Balance), but everything else of theirs I'm a huge fan of. I like going for the younger company, and in football, I really don't think it matters. That said, in basketball, it DOES matter, and I do think going with Nike would make a difference. Of course, we won't be going with anyone but UA until 2024, I believe, so this whole conversation is pretty moot. How about let's revisit this in two or three years, when it actually becomes relevant because we will be able to switch? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,875 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I do think it’s pretty funny that folks are injecting whether they personally like the Nike product or not as a valid reason to go or not go with them. I mean, stuff like that has no relevance what so ever with these endorsement deals. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,540 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 From a fan perspective, I desperately want us with Nike or Adidas instead of UA. UA is limited in retail space and their stuff is way overpriced. Nike and Adidas is easier to find and more affordable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the fit of Nike caps so I wouldn't be buying one. But you are right, me not buying a cap made buy Nike won't affect the University one bit. Just my .02 as Dag put it.

I have this exact same sentiment, but I guess it is a forum and people giving their personal flair differs one poster from the other. As long as people are able to differentiate their distaste from what could help Auburn, I'm fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU_Tiger_88 417 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I just want a cheaper Polo than the UA stuff that I see and looks better. When I can get logo Dry Fit shirts for work relatively inexpensive compared to UA gear. I like my plain UA polos but the Dry Fit has come a long way. So for me, I just want decent gear that doesn't cost an arm and leg. If it helps recruiting then switch. I don't wear either of the shoes from either company although my son swears by the UA shoes. Nike shoes don't fit me well at all. They are way too narrow. But I don't hoop it up so there is that...I like a polo that I have made by UA but I have seen some dry fit that had some great designs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
