[QUOTE="redwingillini11, post: 1492677, member: 9229"] We rarely seem to be treated like a favorite child of Nike's, but a switch to adidas is not the way to go. The quality of the product is worse and their design team is terrible. I could attach a thousand pictures as an example, but I'll just post the link to this article as my exhibits A-Z of why I don't want adidas designing Illinois' uniforms. [URL]https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/7/24/9031341/adidas-michigan-notre-dame-nebraska-ucla-why-why-why-why-why[/URL] If we bail on Nike, Under Armour should be the only alternative. They do a much better job of meaningful uniform and alternate designs. But they also are facing logistics issues that may not make them an ideal partner. IMO, Nike is the ideal partner for the future. But Illinois should try to gain a little negotiating leverage by threatening to leave, so that we can be treated as a higher priority. [/QUOTE]
