They didn’t. The truth of the matter is that UA has declined to the point of relative obscurity in sports equipment (shoes/cleats), they've failed to revolutionize any equipment of substance and offer an inferior product. The stock shares Auburn acquired when the contract was executed is all but worthless and from outside appearances it looks like UA is removing themselves from college athletics altogether. I can't imagine why there are any serious negotiations with UA on the table, other than Auburn acting in good faith due to the long relationship. You go with the best brand who offers competitive $$ and you market your brand accordingly & carry on with your business. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAUsome09 738 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 UA = Under Achiever. Was a fad apparel that has overstayed it's welcome at Auburn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he would be shocked it didn't happen that way. Went on to say that Auburn football doesn't have a strong feeling about it but Bruce Pearl does. Meaning Nike uniforms and Air Jordan shoes. If it happens I cannot see a bigger winner here than Auburn basketball. Oh my… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labron has a brand, FLA a/m right now is his lone endorsement, I would take his brand over Jordan.. Did you mean to reply/quote someone else? If me: No issue with Nike. To my understanding it would be Nike uniforms and Jumpman shoes. Where did I say I don’t want Nike? I just said I don’t have a problem with the Jumpman logo. Don’t give a damn what Tuscaloosa or Gainesville are doing or have done. Not sure how they came into the conversation? Lebron…NO. He is not and never will be MJ. But that is a different subject and not for this conversation. Edited March 13 by T1gerStripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is a different subject and not for this conversation. I did not imply anything so don’t be offended. I am just stating my opinion. You did NOT say anything about jump man being on jerseys. I was speculating on what might happen and I would be pissed to have a jump man logo on our FB jerseys like UM & FL if that is part of the negotiations. Again, speculation only here since NOTHING has been said. I understand Nike’s impact on BB and that is the ONLY reason I would want it. If it means we keep Bruce and knock down multiple BB NCs because of moving to Nike it would be worth it. Sorry to disappoint but I disagree with Nike’s pro China/anti USA stance and the politics they have brought to sports which was once a unifier. You can support your causes without virtue signaling.

AURex 1,998 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Reality is, it doesn't matter if UA is "better" than Nike or Adidas. What matters is recruiting, and reality is kids are all about Nike. Especially in BB when there are summer games sponsored by Nike. Go to a summer session sponsored by Nike or one sponsored by UnderArmor? Um ...... which choice will a id make? CBP has overcome a Lot recruiting obstacles for our Tigers, but he has also struck out on guys he really wanted. Was apparel the ONLY issue? Maybe not. But it was certainly ONE issue in recruiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
