There Are...

Submitted by Feel The Strength on February 2nd, 2016 at 3:23 PM

179 days until Michigan officially goes back to Nike. There's no need to panic about NSD. The three stripe brand will be gone (hopefully) forever in a few months. I'm contemplating burning my old gear but feel like I should give it to Goodwill instead. What will everyone do with their gear? I've also noticed some items popping up in the Nike retail and Golf product lines that they're calling "Varsity Maize" color code 703. There's no need to panic, in Swoosh I trust!

I am as excited as anyone but this seems kind of random to post.

That's part of the point. It's gets redundant seeing posts about people flipping out about where some 17-year old chooses to play college football. So I figured I'd switch it up a bit. Apparently that was a mistake.

Those 17-year olds to determine how good your future team is going to be. Recruiting is the life blood of your team. That is why there are so many posts about, because it's important.

I certainly understand the importance of recruiting, and I enjoy following it. The reactions that presumably grown men have is what I don't get. The coaching staff will determine the success of the team much more than the recruits. And I have plenty of faith in our coaching staff. Let them worry about who signs or not. That's why they get paid well.

Flipping out about recruiting is something a grown man should not do, but flipping out about the logo on the jersey is something a grown man should do? I don't flip out about either, but to each his own I guess.

There once was a fan with some M gear,

The three stripes aboard made that fan sneer,

I'll buy me some Nike,

That new shizz I'll likey,

And the Adidas ones I'll burn right here.

Uh, thanks for the heads up. I think you would be much better off giving it to goodwill. I feel like burning apparel of a team you love and cheer for is something Sparty would do (no matter how bad some adidas apparel is).

Careful with that opinion of yours. I'm under the impression that liking Adidas is not encouraged 'round these parts.

/half kidding

I'm curious though... How do you know you don't like how Jumpman does Michigan stuff? Isn't it all a bit uncharted at this point since Jumpman has never does more than just basketball before and there seems to be an air (pun intended) of special treatment?

I just don't like the brand in general. The novelty will wear off in 3-5 years when half of the NCAA is jumpman. Then we'll sign with Tommy Hilfiger or Dolce & Gobanna until o$u copies that too

These are the kind of posts I was trying to avoid when I lead an opposition to the WD fanbois a few weeks ago.
We get it.. You get wet for Nike and Jordan and hate Adidas.
Hmm.. Should I burn old clothes that someone else could use? Is than a serious question? Are you a Cleveland Browns fan, as well?

I acknowledged that I should give them to Goodwill. And no, I'm not a Cleveland Browns fan. If the post is so bad and the type you wanted to avoid it then you should've just avoided it and not commented.
