So do all those Cooool Uniforms they have go into the dumpster next year. Does this mean the new design is copy righted and can't be used by Adidas? I have no idea how these things work, but it sure seams that Nike has put a lot of money into their new image the past three years and not all things may be able to transfer.

That would be classic. Back to Spanky and no more spork.

Can they keep the new creepy molester sparky mascot?

[azthrillhouse]

I look forward to mocking their uniform choices as I do UCLA, Baylor, etc - the basketball uniforms Adidas puts out are hideous, football only slightly less so. As if ASU basketball needed an extra clownish element.

As an employee of the mighty swoosh, I can assure you ASU owns their logo's. And believe it or not, Nike has not invested all that much money in ASU. ASU pays for the branding efforts by Nike. Adidas has been trying to get back in CFB, spending lots of money to suit up more schools each year. If ASU switches to Adidas its simply a numbers game, meaning Adidas was willing to spend more than Nike for the ASU account. I hope they are getting paid a lot, because Adidas designs don't hold a candle to Nike, imo.

No, luckily Uncle McFeely the Bumble-bee was a Disney thing. He'll be back to haunt your children's dreams.

They must have invested something to be given exclusive rights to the logo for 12 months.

I wonder if the sparky helmet was a message to NIKE, their counter-offer was to be due later that day.

I liked that the AStUrds wore there old Sparky helmets.

[UofAlum05]

Wow its like clock work how the schools I most hate wear Adidas. Kansas, UCLA, and now ASU.

ASU is in good position with his son (4* WR), though I tend to think he will still commit to USC when its all said and done.

Man its a bad day/year when BJ Denker is throwing jabs at you.

I wish we would change to Adidas. Can't do much worse than the unis we have now.

IDK. The numbers look like mustard. It might just be a metallic-mustard color thing.

Urine with a bit of iron mixed in.

Nike is now refusing to produce ASU merchandise.

Obviously Adidas was always going to step into the primary spot for retailers, but now one of the world's largest apparel companies won't even offer fans an alternative.
