Not a big fan of Nike since they gave Colin Kaepernick that ridiculous contract for nothing more than kneeling for our flag and our anthem. They lost me on that one, no matter how much money they are willing to pay.

Will Frosts relationship with Knight ever take us to Nike?

Yep. I have no use for Nike
Two things.
1. At the time we signed the contract we were among the highest and Nike offered us much less in both money and support. (Adidas offers an on site rep that has gotten specialized sizes etc from the factory in 2-3 days.)
2. Nike is a terrible corporate citizen and I for one would and will never buy their gear. I have not and will not buy anything from them since the late 90s. For those who think Trump is a spoiled ... take a look at some of what Phil Knight has done. Union busting, child labor, ...
3. For every dollar you spend with Nike no matter who's name is on the gear. You are sending a few cents to th university of oregon.
So No thanks. Screw Nike
Agree 1000%
What is involved in an apparel contract? Adidas pays NU the privilege of providing uniforms (and other gear) to NU? NU agrees to sell the stuff as "official gear" and Adidas gets a cut of the proceeds?
Wasn't Adidas the principle player/suspect in the FBI probe earlier this year?
I just wish their logo wasn't so prominent on the uniform.

I have no qualms with Nike. However, Osborne really got it right all those years ago. Adidas is a rising brand and I believe it's outpacing Nike and Under Armour right now. So, it's gaining appeal to the kids and it's a strong brand. Hope they stick with Adidas...
Moos resigned, and Knight was applying the heat. It's necessary to read in between the lines, but it sounded like Knight was pushing Moos to do something that he refused to do, so Knight wanted him gone. If that's the case, Moos had to know that that would likely be the result, which raises my opinion of him because it means he's a man of principle, and he had the cajones to stand up to Phil freakin' Knight when he was the AD at Oregon. If Moos had truly done something worthy of being pushed out, we would have heard about it.

I don’t know how it works for sure but I could see this happening if we got back to the top of the college football pyramid. Nikwould help with recruiting as cheesy and as shallow as that sounds.
Adidas is really gaining popularity with teens these days... ever heard of Yeezys? Just sayin'. It's almost as popular now.
Been saying that for 2 years now. Walk around inner city schools now days and you see a lot of Adidas. Especially things other than BBall shoes. So sweats, shorts etc. As well as to your point their knockaround shoes. (No kid wheres their Yeezys in a game.) Also as soccer get's more popular in the USA. Most of the best Soccer payers wear Adidas. 6 of the top ten soccer cleats are Adidas, https://www.complex.com/sneakers/2012/11/the-25-best-soccer-cleats-of-all-time.
Have a 13 year old. They dont make shoes but Champion is back and trendy now. He asked for some for xmas. Didn't know they were even still in business. Used to make really heavy sweatshirts back in the day, which are hard to find now.

Yes I love champion Sweats. They are heavier and usually cheaper as well. They do actually still make shoes though. they are just not competition grade shoes. More knockarounds. https://www.champion.com/shop/champ...ageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:20&
I thought I said that. Moos may have resigned but not on purpose.
