I stopped in a few weeks ago and wanted just a gold Adidas hoodie. They had none and the selection was pathetic. From the Adidas selection you would’ve never guessed they are our uniform provider.
Yeah they still don't have gold polos either. Pretty pathetic.

Agreed. It was the first time I've been in the bookstore since Adidas took over and, had I not known they were our official supplier, I would not have guessed it from the bookstore. Walking in, you first hit the UA section, then the Nike, then all of the golf brand shirts, followed by sweatshirts. I didn't even find the Adidas section (up front by the registers, but against the windows and not where the natural flow of traffic would take you first) until I'd already looked at everything else. To top it off, the Adidas section seemed about half the size of the UA section and didn't have anything worth buying.

Adidas was not my first choice, but I've been pretty impressed with the on-field stuff and coaches gear thus far. However, if they aren't getting that stuff to the bookstore, they definitely aren't getting it out elsewhere, which means it isn't being bought and the brand (both Tech and Adidas) isn't spreading. Hopefully they are still just rolling it out and the bookstore will be overflowing with the official stuff in the Fall, but I'm beginning to wonder.

Adidas hopefully will make a push this season. I hate to have to buy the other brands, but if they give us nicer gear then so be it. Throwing a t shirt at us every once in a while doesn't cut it

This makes no sense. It is in the best interest of Tech and Adidas to sell as much apparel as possible. The bookstore should want to sell as much as possible also.

You have to remember it’s the GT book store. This was the same place that sold diploma frames that didn’t match the size of the actual diplomas.
GT diplomas are absurdly large (inb4 gtphd explains the importance of diploma sizes)

Oh the things I would do to have a hat like that...
good luck finding it for sale. maybe it will at some point. but i really wish when these alt unis are unveiled they included a link for purchase. i'm a sucker for this stuff and i'd have purchased that hat immediately.

The only Adidas baseball hat the bookstore had was a gray one ...

I would actually consider that jersey as well. I do love the old school logos tho.
Adidas, I hope you're reading and start putting some good stuff for sale for fans, and not the same stuff you've had since August! I might just get Nike or Under Armour since Adidas still isn't releasing to the public anything that great.
