Dang, was hoping for something closer to what Manchester United got.

Hope everything stays static with the uniforms now.

One cannot put a price on avoiding Under Armour and Adidas uniforms.

Hopefully the deal includes fans being able to get quality merchandise in stores. You know, like almost every other school in the B1G.

Whoa, I had to look it up after you said this. £70 million or $120 million a year! I'm assuming that that's just their deal with Adidas and their jersey sponsor is on top of that? Zing!

Correct, Chevy just dished out huge money to slap their logo on the front of the kits. $559 million over 7 years.

I was hoping for a new deal from Starter or Apex. Oh well.
