Adidas v Nike v UnderArmour Etc

Well, hopefully Adidas puts out more “basketball “ specific merchandise. Is it just me or does anyone else think the STJ logo is horrendous? It’s cool for a Baseball cap logo ( i literally just mean for the baseball team)but I just think it looks corny on merch and the court logo. Just my opinion btw.
 
Can anyone post?

As part of the partnership, St. John’s will receive a major investment in their athletics department and student-athletes will have an avenue to a company program that will give them opportunities to earn NIL money doing endorsements. Two players — Ian Jackson and Joson Sanon — already are part of the program.

“This is a period of time where it's all about revenue generation for college athletics and all about NIL and adidas gets it,” St. John’s AD Ed Kull told Newsday. “[It] has a whole program that's focused around NIL and giving dollars for endorsement deals to student-athletes. And they understand for the schools the challenges of revenue sharing and generating money and they really stepped up. And . . . want to be all in.”

Nike, the previous outfitter for St. John’s, has reduced its portfolio for outfitting college programs and, though it had the opportunity to counter adidas’ offer to St. John’s, chose not to, Kull said.

“I know we've changed brands over the years — from Jordan Brand to Nike Elite to Under Armour to Nike now this — but it’s truly in our best interest we have a partner that is investing in us and building with us. Nike was not doing that.”

The appeal of St. John’s playing in the New York market made the partnership even more appealing to the shoe giant. The Red Storm will play at least a dozen games next season at Madison Square Garden.

I’m fine with the current logo for all of the sports except baseball and softball which I prefer the St. Louis Cardinals style.
 
for those that care about such things, According to people I've spoken to our home and away jerseys won't be changing, just the addition of adidas logo vs Nike. Alternate jerseys is what's being worked on and will be different as of my last conversation with people in the know.
 
When did Champion sports gear fall out of favor?

[I'm dating myself]

Forget Champion. I'd sign an exclusive deal with Puma on the condition that the players can only wear Clydes.

In full agreement here, the STJ boxed lettering logo lacks any distinguishable identity or character. Don't even get me started on the walking bird. It's been hinted that the school is working on reacquiring the SJU copyright, if that finally happens a complete overhaul of the basketball programs primary and secondary logos should be pursued immediately.

What was the official story on why we lost SJU ? I forget. That could be one of the worst moments in a history of bad moments in St. John’s history
 
I think it had to do with St Joseph’s grabbing SJU before us, and we didn’t want any overlap/confusion. We got some anyway at Mike Anderson’s introductory press conference.
What a boondoggle. On the bright side ironically one of my best friends daughter goes to st joes and I sent her bunch of STJ gear once we hit top 20 regular season after the Bahamas and she’s huge St Johns fan now

Something about the interwebs as well, that St. Joseph’s grabbed the domain name while (shockingly) our administration was looking in the couch cushions for subway tokens for a recruiting trip.
