    Time for Nike or Under Armour?

    I'd prefer Nike, but UA is making a move as they took over the #2 spot on U.S. Sports Apparel list.

    So then you care who makes it, Adidas is a big part of that, sleeves and terrible designs and cuts.

    Under Armor sucks. NBA needs to let teams just pick their own brands for each, like the old days. No one is paying $300 for a basketball authentic jersey.

    Yeah, but it's still nice to see people appreciate stuff from other brands. Even in the nfl nike apparel thread, people aren't happy about how nike is upping the price of jerseys without changes to justify the price increase.

    I'm not trying to defend Nike or anything,just pointing out that it should come off as no surprise that people would ride for Nike on Niketalk [​IMG]. I wouldn't even mind is UA got the deal,I doubt it'll happen but their stuff is usually good quality.

    Nike is getting back in its rightful place in the NBA. Too bad we will have to deal with another two years of short sleeved jerseys before then.

    I'd like to see UA's take on the NBA. They're on the come-up, not to mention that their apparel is second only to Nike, and in some instances (hoodies for example), superior.

    Who you think created those hideous Y shaped dollars that the Lakers and Heat among others currently use? Nike started that.

    UA makes great performance gear but has always been an ugly brand. UA designing jerseys would be as bad or even worse than Adidas. I feel like UA gets it though because Nike didn't want the whole league a few years back, why would it change now?
