Thank goodness Adidas got rid of those terrible uni's from the first few games (that Louisville & UC-I wore). Those ^^^ aren't great by any stretch, but they're much better.

In Adidas defense Matt, it's extremely difficult to make any uni with the work EATERS across the front look good.

Zero home runs hit at TD Ameritrade so far. Would be nice to see the Horns break the silence with a long ball or two.

Adidas tries too hard to steal market share from Nike.  

Only thing I like from Adidas better than Nike are their Taylormade golf equipment.
