Most people are resistant to change anyway, but when you change things and they’re noticeably worse? That’s when twitter turns on you.
Miami and Louisville received new uniforms this off-season courtesy of adidas.
While their initial introductions went off without a hitch, it wasn’t until today – when we were all attempting to view the player’s names on the field – that the backlash began.
Below is a taste of the beating adidas is receiving because of this, and a simple search of “Louisville jerseys” or “Hurricanes jerseys” will likely show thousands more.
We’ll have to stay tuned if a company that’s become as progressive as they’ve been these last few year’s will listen to the outcry, and make one more change again relatively soon.

Good Lord. I hope all that money was worth it for Louisville and Miami to switch to Adidas. Their jerseys are horrendous.
