RE: Well Louisville got new uniforms.
These uni's suck @ss, and I for one will NOT purchase anything resembling this new mockery of a logo on anything. Adidas wonders why they have issues connecting with fans etc. Well who ever is in charge of these designs needs to be let go and bring in someone who actually gad a clue in what the public ir fans of each school really wants. It's not that hard, but apparently you must have an art engineering degree or something that gets you in the door. I bet good money the guys working these tee shirt stands that do the spray painting what ever it's called could do better work than these ass clowns who try their best to push stupid **** like these latest UofL uniforms. If these suck I really can not wait to see ither schools that Adidas is suppose to be suppling. I am hoping like hell that Louisville dumps Adidas once this five year run is up for the only reason we are using them now is that they agreed to supply the entire athletic department wgich I understand is HUGE, but with kind of money Louisville brings in each year I don't think purchasing some shoes etc will hurt them. God almighty these uni's are terrible.

While technically still part of the uniform, you are describing the compression undershirt.

The ACA board or whatever your G5 league is called is the other way. And no the Big 12 wants nothing to do with Memphis

Ugh, I've been a big fan of UofL's uniforms for some time now, but this doesn't fit in the bill. Abort, abort!

From what I see, money goes towards ul marketing internships as well.

It's $1.54 million in cash, which is still good and higher than the $350 k in cash from your previous adidas contract.

While not $8 million in straight cash, it saves the University $$ to not have to pay for these things outright. Plus they outfit all of our athletic teams, while many apparel deals are only for the revenue sports, sports such as rowing and wrestling are often times paid out of the school's budget. I believe our contract with Adidas is one of the top apparel contracts.

Of course. It's not a bad deal, obvi. The cash and any signing bonus or scholarship/internship money is what you should concern yourself with and compare school to school. I think some apparel companies even charge retail price vs wholesale and include the retail in the amount of the contract, even though it's play money. I'm not saying that's Louisville though.

Same HERE! Keep the birds 04-rock

Adidas is just getting their groove back.... after the MJ faceplant in the 80/90s... and essentially abandoning US sports to Nike... and the Zubaz crappola--- But I hear they've moved their design studio from Deutschland to the Us... so there is Hope!!!

I like them better after watching this. The shoes still look like chickens, but the whole helmet shot gives the bird a better look. Also the undershirt with the bird crest looks MUCH better in this video. Thanks for sharing!04-rock

Looks much better in that video for whatever reason. The shoe bird still looks like a damn peacock body or quail to me (I don't know why). It'd be cooler if the silver was a metallic, shiny black, and if the eyes on the helmets glowed in the dark...

I would go with the Bird on the undershirt over the one on the Helmet.

No, these are just the uni's we'll be wearing for the Chick-Fil-A kickoff game against Auburn, these won't be our regular uni's. Adidas said there will be about 5 different uni's this year. The bird-with-teeth logo has long been our logo, it won't be changing anytime soon.

That's good that it's only for one game, then. These are pretty terrible.

You are being waaaaaaaaay too kind. Those uniforms are utterly atrocious.

Agreed...they look like they were designed by Looney Tunes.

Reason # 25614257153 why I am glad Clemson doesn't agree to this type garbage no matter what it might cost us.

I Like them, I think Adidas is upping its game and just the plain and simple fact that everybody is talking about them is a positive not just for Adidas but the University of Louisville. Bold move and I like it, I think the uniform will get lots of talk time vs Auburn even more so if Louisville pulls out the upset.

Dude, just stop.

People are talking about ISIS. That isn't a positive for ISIS.

When folks turn the channel and see this uniform on their screen are they going to say "That's Louisville" or is the average TV viewer going to say " Who the **** is that?"

Orange and purple isn't the best color combination in the world....but when people see the paw they say " Hey! That's Clemson."



Louisville has been relevant long enough to have a brand. People know the bird with teeth. Friggin' embrace it.


This is Syracuse taking a colossal dump on blue jerseys/orange pants and minimizing orange.

I don't mind the new UofL uniforms. My first reaction wasn't very good, but it is growing on me a little. I really don't like the silver. Silver is not a school color.
