or maybe even Jordan Brand!?...Wishful thinking, but with this development, something to ponder...
This article from Yahoo has voiced the displeasure of NY Senator Charles Schumer, who believes that "Basketball is an American game" and doesn'tbelieve in Adidas moving the manufacturing of uniforms to Thailand. With that he is pressuring the NBA to pull its contract with Adi, after getting a"lukewarm" response from the German based Adidas, using the business logic of shifting production closer to the source of raw materials to reducecost. This therefore would sever ties with US company American Classic Outfitters' who produces the uniforms currently..
Well it may or may not happen, but if Adidas is dropped aren't Nike manufacturing plants in the middle-east anyway?
