RE: BGSU signs with Nike!
Nike supplies the Browns...who stole their colors from us. This should put an end to the use of black in our uni's and other apparel and usher in the return of the brown.
and there was much rejoicing...

RE: BGSU signs with Nike!
Gentlemen,
Unless something has changed in the last couple of years, Nike does not have any manufacturing facility in the United States. Flint, Michigan which is still one of the most economically depressed cities in Michigan, begged the owner of Nike to open a shoe manufacturing facility which at the time, would have given jobs to about 500 people. This was years ago now, but the owners response was "The people of Flint aren't interested in manufacturing shoes". Right, when Flint for years before was a major automobile parts supplier, and used to manufacture Buicks there as well.
Since the shoe thing went down with such a stupid answer, I do not support Nike in any way, and would hope others would not as well.

RE: BGSU signs with Nike!
I hate Nike. I have yet to find one pair of tennis/running shoes that will my feet comfortably. And I only wear a size 8.5 or 9.
I have no trouble finding wide width New Balance, Reebok and Asics models that fit just fine.

RE: BGSU signs with Nike!
I like Nike for tennis shoes thought for running I go with New Balance. I'm not a person though that won't buy from a company just because they make everything overseas.
