Great responses. Thanks. Basically it seems like it comes down to the release of Oregon gear de-values the hard work that you collectors have put in amassing your collections. In my opinion I think that your collections are still unique, regardless of what Nike releases, as they still posses many items that are not available to the public. I think Nike should release the same color-ways or Ducks gear just without the school logo's. I understand why Nike may do it though. If Nike is already going to have to adjust the production line to make 100 or so pairs for the Ducks, why not run off another 1000. It lowers the unit cost and the sales of the cleats to the public cover the cost of the gear sent to the Ducks. I also know that Nike makes enough money to not necessarily need to cover the costs of Oregon gear, but I am just guessing as to the thought process at Nike.
For collectors, if you did not have the hard work of your collections to show, or did not even have collections in the first place, would you still have objections to Nike releasing on the field Oregon gear?
PleaseSayTheBaby23,

PleaseSayTheBaby23,
Can you give us any hints? Is it something groundbreaking? Did you hear from players?

yes I have objections on Nike releasing anything Team Issued....no matter if its Basketball, Football, Olympics, Soccor
does nike release samples to the public? no they are made in low quantities and those who have them have a Gem
If Nike woulda took the Jordan approach how they released the Ray Allen 13s in Boston then I would be for that. They did it last year with the Pit Crew 3s and it turned out great.
I dont exact details I just was told its gonna be

It just seems like people from Maryland get more excited about their flag than any other state.

I respect what ur saying but u should be grateful that things are coming east to obtain for ya...
Peep the shoe game... I've (plus countless others on and off nt) have missed ouT on shoes that. We really want not cuz of hype and what not due to hype and limited releases
Edit: to add on/ clarify...
If its team issued and u have ur connects go head and use those to ur advantage. I have ucla gear connects and i appreciate it. But if it's something that is not as exclusive and is publicly released. Let people enjoy what they are givin while ur still able to cop things that will make them jelly

True. Cali and Colorado have a lot of flag pride as well. In Connecticut, I'm not sure most people could pick it out of a lineup. Then again, we also have no sports teams (we latch onto Boston or NYC, depending where you are geographically).

Why do you have objections behind Nike releasing team issued gear? Im just curious to hearing a different viewpoint. Do you object to the NFL/Nike releasing team gloves?

I would say that citizens of certain states are very proud of their state (Texas) and that certain flags lend themselves to being put on clothing. Maryland has a print that is unique to their flag and easily shows on gear. Certain state flags are boring and not too unique (Idaho, Maine, Vermont) and certain state flags stand out and are easily recognizable (New Mexico, Maryland, California, Arizona, Colorado)

Team issused is exactly what it says TEAM issued
let me break it down
you can buy a De'Anthony Thomas jersey online or in the store but the jersey you buy wont be the exact thing he wears on the field
these are 2 different things
so yes things are released to the public BUT the TEAM issued things you are referring to 9/10 have different features or customizations

You think it is easiest to get through an equipment manager or through the players?

If the last 3 cleats were released to the public and the team, then arent they no longer team-issued, because they were released to the public.

Nike planned ahead of time to release those cleats to the public
the cleats they wear in the bowl game and the ones they wore vs Arizona St are team issued versions
but I have a feeling if they go to the BCS and win Nike will capitalize on it (think Lebron! they released 3 shoes cause he won 1 ring)

^weather we win or not, nike will capitalize on us being in a bowl game. I just hope they dont pull something like they did for the 2011 BCS game and put volt in the color scheme. That's one that I hated; that we became associated with that color. Then the begining of last season against LSU didnt help any either. I will be looking forward to seeing whatever nike will cook up for the bowl season though.

So then if you agree that the cleats they released to the public are not team issued, then are you still against Nike releasing that specific Oregon gear?
And if you are against team issued gear being released to the public then what about signature shoes like Lebrons or Kobes? Those are specifically made for certain players.
Im just really curious about peoples objections to the team gear released to the public. Thanks again for your opinion. You better believe it that Nike will capitalize on Oregon in a bowl game or going to the BCS. Nike is the king of capitalizing on publicity like that! That is part of what makes them so successful.

The shoes LeBron & Kobe wears are not the same exact shoes you can go into footlocker and buy off the shelf
these are 2 different shoes
and Nike didnt release the last bowl game or BCS gear to the public so idk
I hope they keep it that way

doubt it.
if you can run a good 40 and complete the drills 9/10 you will make it
now getting PT and a scholarship is a different story
got slew of teammates and coaches playing or went to big universities so I know the ends and outs
my main concern is classes and the cost. plus living.
