Spiders going Adidas?

The best part is it says Richmond or Spiders. I’ve never seen anyone really give a damn who the
manufacturers are, as long as you’re showing the love for your team.
 
I found this one.


Couldnt find the one our marketing department corrected to say Richmomd. 😁

I ordered 1 of these. Thx for originally pointing out this sweatshirt urmite & Annap. As of days ago they had stock in all sizes. Now again showing completely out of stock. So here’s hoping mine actually gets delivered.
 
new adidas uni’s. I like em esp the classic cursive script.

They look good. I wonder what the white and reds look like. I like it when the jerseys have a slightly different look to them for each color. Maybe the whites say Spiders or RIC on them, UR - etc.

But so far - these look good. Anyone know of Adidas gear being sold in bookstore? Games are less than a week away.
 
Love the jerseys. Hate the shorts

the big adidas tag at the neck line is unnecessary. put it on the jersey somewhere but that looks like you'd feel it. the stripes look great though.

but what the heck are they thinking with the circular crotch bullseye stripes on the shorts??? don't get cute. just stripes down the side. it isn't hard.

the adidas thing is probably a requirement of the contract. That doesn’t bother me tho I like adidas.

Agree about the shorts too. I hadn’t looked at that closely just the shirt. They over thought the shorts. Down the side would have been much better. & when your legs r not together in a pose it might look weirder.
 
I can imagine the guy who designed these shorts thinking "I can't believe nobody ever thought of going circular".

Cmon, need to go Nike. Just saw Run DMC in concert again for the 2nd time, first time was circa 1987. Doesn't mean My Adidas is back in style. Guess Jabba still wears them though.

Next we should rock the Chuck Taylor's and maybe Golden get some Mikan goggles. And we we wonder why we can't get recruits??? Amazing.
 
Adidas has a bunch of signature sneakers like Trae Young, Dame, D Rose, and Donavan Mitchell. they're relavant. nobody is turning us down due to our shoe deal.

they might if they see those shorts though.
 
Still time to nix these abominations and do the right thing, Hardt! I'm sure adidas can overnight 20 pairs of legit shorts in time for opening night.
 
Agree...don't like the shorts. The red unis look really good. Haven't seen anything on the home whites, guess we'll see tonight?
 
Unfortunately the whites were just like the blues--those shorts that make it look like the guys are wearing the John Stockton nut-huggers from the 80s with spandex underneath.
 
They are truly terrible. Looks like there's a giant target around the crotch. From a distance it looks like they're wearing skirts or something. Just an abomination.
 
I'm having a hard time understanding all the complaints about the uniforms. I mean, I've probably seen more conventional and maybe even better looking uniforms, but from the moment I set foot in the RC I didn't spend a single second thinking about what our guys were wearing.

Obviously you're focused on the wrong things...

I doubt at UR players have input on uniform. Maybe adidas gives them 2-3 templates to pick from - but we are not UNC, Duke, Kentucky, Oregon, etc where they would custom make a uniform for UR.
I don't mind the uniforms. I actually wish they would bring back the all black uniforms for a game or two as an alternate.

Agree the stripes on the shorts are ridiculous.....should be down the sides. And some irony with Central's uniforms having some type of design down the sides very similar to the Richmond shield knock off Purina dog chow emblem that the school paid big bucks to have designed.
 
There must be another adidas team wearing these offensive shorts. I'm going to do a little research if I can.

Good find Legger - now another reason to watch college BB - finding out who else was "taken in" by the Adidas pitch of "the best look in basketball shorts"!

The unis are not my favorite, but don't get bent out of shape as long as the colors and insignia are correct, but most importantly the kids have to appear comfortable in them

Yes basically just great message board "fodder" ........... Can only imagine the satire and humor if the colors and insignia were incorrect!
