The failure by UA to not have player merch, especially Freeman, available to the public is an absolute failure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I pointed this out is because it means UA still hasn't released anything Freeman-related, which is definitely an absolute failure. 1 hour ago, zippy5 said: 2) Pretty sure it has to be somewhat affiliated to have the logo and "Zips" on the back of the jersey I am sure UA gets a royalty or the business paid a licensing fee.

ZZZips Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 (edited) What a progression of wrong information on this string. 1. This is an NIL deal. 2. UA has no active sales opportunity to sell merchandise that features one of their athletes with out signing an NIL deal with the student. All ZIP merchandise sales are though Barnes & Nobles who doesn't participate in NIL deals. 3. An athlete must consent for the university to use their likeness in social media posts and advertising. personally I don't know how this works. 4. An athlete can use their image even if it includes a UA logo. UA provided the jersey to the student. This is the essence of NIL. Enrique's "likeness" is a product of is his position as a UA athlete wearing a jersey. No one gives a SH_T about Enrique wearing a business suit. He doesn't own UA anything for this deal.

I've heard of the Barnes & Noble contract before and have heard some chatter that it really holds back Athletics from selling certain gear. Wonder when it expires and if they'd look for something different. Our gear has always been lacking compared to other schools. Honestly, Rally House has better stuff than anything you'd find on campus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy87 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Curious for those who follow the NBA closely, does Freeman have a shot at being selected in Round 2 this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 The cherry on top is another trip to the Big Dance (and a W in the tourney but I'm not going to get greedy at this point).
