Will the Nike deal be reupped?

[Panjandrum]

In one of the articles on Jamar out there (I can't remember which one) they said we're in the last year of the six-year Nike contract.  Are we going to end up extending that, or are we going to switch?  Will we be able to get another all-sports deal like we have now?

Has anyone heard anything on this?

I saw that. In another article it said that it was reworked when Huggins came.

The current deal that is expiring was the deal done during the Huggins season.

Adidas is fine.  I'm for whoever will pay us the most for an all-sports deal.

I bet we stay with Nike, though.  I would just like some confirmation.

Nike is the only company that "gets it" when making college uniforms.

I'd be very disappointment with anything other than that beautiful swoosh adorning our jerseys.

(except a jumpman logo  )

I doubt Nike would go to the trouble of making us new jerseys for the past 4 years and then not renew our contract.

The question was whether or not we'll get an all-sports deal.

Hopefully the convo goes something like this.

NIKE: So KSU contract is up time to negotiate.  Do you guys want to keep your all-sports deal?

JC: I think we do, everyone? Anyone object?

BH, FM, BS, etc.: No we love our NIKE deal.

NIKE: All right this is an exciting time.  Moving forward we are going to have a lot going on in the KSU uniform department, a lot of experimentation, branding, etc. 

BS: (interrupts) I don't want the football uniforms changed.

Everyone looks at Bill, and back at the NIKE guy, awkwardness all around.

NIKE: If we are going to continue this relationship the Athletic Department will have to give us the freedom to explore when it comes to the school's athletic outfitting.

BS: I don't want...

In walks Animal.

KS: Hey, guys.  Sorry I'm late you know how I love those never ending pasta bowls at OG.  Anyway, Bill, take it easy old timer.  What NIKE wants NIKE gets. 

Animal turns to NIKE guy.

KS: We're all yours.  We're your guinea pig, hell change our colors if you want.  Just keep us lookin' fresh. Animal out. 

NIKE: OK, looks like everything's settled then.  We will send in some renderings of the new pro combat football and the new Infinitely Elite basketball gear.

nicname, that was absolutely fantastic.

I hope currie doesn't go allpurp on us like rp did :(

it's not his choice.

also, the only legitimate non-Nike contract I would agree to is if we went back to L.A. Gear like we had with altman.

At the time, that looked like a good move.  They had Shaq!

I've made fun of KU and Nebraska people far too many times for being "Adidas Schools" to switch now.

If we go to Adidas, I will never stop throwing up.

That's what happens when you don't have an elite all-sports deal.

My sister-in-law works for Adidas and gets sweet deals on apparel.

UA is on the way up. Honorary EMAW Cam Newton endorses them.
