🏈 Any Rumors On Alabama Being Jordan Brand

[BamaFan334]

I was on Instagram and saw where someone said it was a rumor of Alabama going to Jordan brand. Anyone heard or seen any smoke regarding this? Of course anyone can say anything on the internet, but was just curious if anyone had been hearing anything about this.

I hope not. The current Nike agreement runs through 2025.

Nooooooo! Love the regular old Nike get ups

If the university can cash in earlier, they should.

I hope not as well. But, isn't Jordan a part of Nike? If that's the case, couldn't they transfer contracts and still capture the revenue?

from Wikioedia:

Nike owns none of the factories where Air Jordans are produced and contracts the work to various factory owners. Company officials say that they only design and market the shoes. However, Nike dictates production terms and standards to the contractor...

as well, there are 4 college football teams who use the jordan brand...
University of Florida
University of Michigan
University of North Carolina
University of Oklahoma

They can't transfer the contract without the approval of Alabama. Nike has a sweetheart deal and only pays Alabama $5.25 million per year. This is far below the massive UCLA contract with Under Armour ($18.7 million per year) or Texas and Ohio State with Nike ($16 million). Michigan's contract with Nike puts the Jumpman brand on football and basketball (other sports use traditional Nike brand), but the payment schedule is more complex with bonuses for on field/court performance (BIG10 appearance/championships, CFP involvement/championship).

The selection of Jordan brand Universities was made a couple of years ago they chose then not to select us.

Matt, it's my understanding back in 2018 Nike selected a group of Universities for Jordan brand which includes "Jumpman" logo. Nike chose not to include us. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

SDSU men's basketball picked to join selective Jordan Brand family.

Don't recall it being them selecting universities.

Michigan was the first and was a flip from Adidas. SDSU isn't a big get for Jumpman.

I believe Cal and Cincinatti used to be for basketball now that I took a second to think about it.

A group was selected otherwise all teams with Nike contacts would be wearing the Jumpman logo it's iconic.

It's possible we were approached and turned them down. It would be a slight change in the uniform if that's the case I glad I personally don't want our uniform changed in any way. It's a classic and you don't mess with perfection. JMO.

Florida makes big move joining Jordan Brand's growing college football footprint

The Gators are just the fourth college football program to represent Jordan Brand on the field

I just don't understand how anyone thinks a basketball brand can be good for football. A Ford motor is good for a Ford car, but would you put it in a Porsche?

Why don't you let me own that Wrangler for you? Looking for one right now. Trying to decide if I want to wait and see what the new Broncos look like price wise.
