I'm a shoe apparel nerd and I follow what schools sign with what company, etc. With GT on the market soon and finally moving away from Russell Athletic, who do the Tech fans on this board think they'll sign with?

Leader for GTech's new apparel deal

I remember when Russell was an "in brand" back in the 80's...it was taking market share away from Champion.

Maybe they should come join Adidas with us.

It's Georgia Tech guys! They'll sign with Converse. It is the international shoe of Nerds and Geeks! It will be the ankle high classic in pink with the green star. I'm surprised Purdue doesn't wear them.

Nice. Very Nice!

The opposite of whomever UGa is signed to.

I think that's who they will end up with. Adidas is putting a massive store near Atlanta and GT's baseball team uses some adidas equipment as well. Atlanta is a great market for the three stripes to be in.

I can see that now.

Big Baller Brand

or

L.L. Bean?

Word on the Flats is that Nike may not be interested, so it is between Under Armour and Adidas... No info yet... The fan base is pissed that WKU just got out of the RA deal but GT hasn't yet.

For the record Russell is the sponsor for the Rutgers - Newark Scarlet Raiders, not the Rutgers University Scarlet Knights. The Scarlet Nights were sponsored by Nike, but will be supplied by Adidas starting with the 2017-18 season.

Your list is full of errors and inaccuracies.

Benedict is in Columbia, SC. There is no Richmond in South Carolina.

Coastal Carolina is in Conway, not Myrtle Beach. They only use RA for baseball uniforms. Under Armour handles everything else.

Clemson has been a 100% Nike school since 2015, and prior to that had only used RA for baseball.

I figured that...that list was lifted from the Russell website. I thought Clemson was still correct as I remembered they had a sport with Russell recently. I don't follow college baseball or really care. The list was just to illustrate they are a small time player in the current day. Conway vs Myrtle Beach... aren't they about 6 miles apart?

To the Rutgers fan...I figured that and wanted confirmation. Cuse's Chancellor went to Rutgers-Newark after her reign of over spending on her pet projects and lowered standards on student admissions

WKU just announced a new contract with Nike. If you didn't know, Russell Athletic is a Fruit of the Loom brand located in Bowling Green, KY. For WKU to go away from their hometown brand is huge. If/when GT leaves, bad days for RA.

Cool story but I made 4 times my money on Nike in eight years. I'll stick with them.
