Go Gophers!!
 


Also, I hope we are a Nike school forever. Adidas is horrible.
 






I know most of my Wisconsin friends can't stand Adidas, especially for basketball. I kid every year that Wisconsin's basketball uniforms look like they are designed for a women's team.

Didn't look at anything but the jersey when I found that picture. Pretty funny that everyone in the background is doing the Bo Ryan "WTF was that call" expression. He has them taught so well.
 









If I were a player I'd rather have an Adidas sponsorship. IMO they make better shoes.
 



Practice facility gets closer every day!

Ha that is funny. Mad town is right everyone is pulling the grinch complain face except for the girl in the blue next to the guy in the white sweat shirt. She appears to be laughing her ass off.

I don't think Jordan has football unis. Under Armour makes terrible alt uniforms(See hawaii and boston college)

I would assume you're right as North Carolina has Jordan for basketball but Nike for football. Jordan does make football cleats though. I can't see how anyone could have a problem with Jordan but be okay with Under Armour.
 


So If we are 6th in the B1G and 2nd among Nike schools, I would assume we are behind Ohio State (Nike), Michigan (Adidas), Nebraska (Adidas), Maryland (under Armour), and Wisconsin (Adidas). Not a bad place to be in considering that Maryland is the home state of the Under Armour guys and the rest of the schools have had a lot more success in both revenue sports than we have in recent years. Next goal: get good enough in the revenue sports that Nike starts producing more gear for fans. Their have been a couple of Gopher basketball items I've really wanted in recent years that I could find for virtually every other school that had them (Authentic material shorts and the warm up jacket from the NCAA tournament two years ago), but not for the Gophers.
 

Haha, you're right. Easily the most annoying fans in college basketball. Can't wait til the Dre's light them up next year.

It's pretty annoying that there haven't been any basketball jerseys for sale ever since we got the new designs on the back. Hoffarber was the last "new" jersey for sale. I have no idea why they won't sell new jerseys, literally every other basketball program in the country sells new jerseys.

I wonder if Polo will ever get into the uniform line. Maybe something plaid?
