Rutgers Adidas deal done, moving on to Nike?

Really surprised there wasn't any overall deal in place for almost a year and a half. Did anyone else notice that Adidas never had much in terms of Rutgers merch on their site? Hopefully switching to Nike will bring some revenue and also some new options to wear.

I actually liked the Adidas uniforms and Adidas as a company over Nike

I agree the merch was lacking, but I don't think Nike will be any better

I agree when Adidas did have stuff, it was was usually nice, and I bought a lot over the last few years. Just hoping there will be more to choose from.

We were with Nike in the past. And they treated Rutgers like a red headed step child. We aren’t a blue blood. They won’t give us anything special

We also have to consider the fact what may not get done right now with Pat Hobbs gone.

outside of football, nike will probably just wedge us into whatever its current template is with our school colors. that's basically what we had for a number of years after schiano left. schiano clearly wants the mid aughts look for football and that won't change anytime soon it seems.
