Columbus -- Ohio State football trainers beware -- too many wrong tape jobs and you could cost the athletic department nearly $12,000 per messed up football cleat.
On Wednesday, Ohio State announced it had reached a new seven-year, $26 million deal for Nike to provide athletic equipment to Buckeye sports teams and make and sell OSU football jerseys that will kick in at least another $200,000 per year to the athletic department in royalties.

Awesome...
A thread for people to talk about clothes and shoes.
Have fun.
Don't forget to argue about whether Nike should provide us with Black Jerseys for special occasions.

Damn. When I saw the thread title, I thought it was going to be about us getting two new pant designs, two more jerseys, and a reversed design of the helmet. Maybe some of that cool piping and diamond plate over the thighs and shoulders. Oh, and green AND black helmet stickers.

I like Adidas.  |
