        The Nike agreement is in effect for the next few years.

        If we are going with UA throughout the AD, I'm guessing they would buy out the remaining term.

        • It would make sense to do it these year. New conference, Top 10 team. Lots of eyeballs on your jerseys and kicks.

            Thanks! I guess that's the way it's going to be then.

              I had this thought too. There are two teams who've incorporated their "iconic" patterns in to their shorts in college basketball. One is Kentucky with their checkerboard, the other is UNC with their argyle. I'd love to see the Shockers add some personal touch to their shorts with the wheat kernels.

                A uniform with the kennel pattern as a side panel would be fantastic. I'd certainly buy it.

                  Yes, I think @The Mad Hatter: is on to something here. I particularly like the look the shadow makes in that picture. Grey background with yellow kernels for black shorts, black background with yellow kernels for white.

                      Interestingly, Under Armour designed a signature pattern for our new conference-mate Cincinnati based on campus architechture.

                        "Wichita State will announce an all-encompassing apparel contract for its athletic department within the next week.

                        WSU, according to several sources, will sign with Under Armour. Athletic director Darron Boatright declined to confirm the brand, although he did confirm the coming announcement.

                        In addition to the financial benefits, Boatright said a consistent appearance in all sports is an important factor in the decision. WSU sports currently use different providers for sports — men’s basketball is Nike, volleyball is Adidas and baseball is Under Armour...."

                          I will admit to being wrong.

                          It doesn't look like UA will buy out our Nike deal.

                            Could be part of the renegotiations that go on, now that the move to The American (not AAC ;)) is offical.

                              Article says that teams will honor existing contracts and therefore men's basketball will wear Nike through next season.
