reebok has been owned by adidas for quite a while now..hence when reebok was doing the nba jersey’s as well adidas changed it to adidas doing the nba jersey’s though it was the same material and manufacturing as when reebok had it..adidas and reebok are essentially the same now though they are kept seperate entities. now nike is getting back into the nfl apparrel again.. they have been out of it since early 2000..

Simple solution: Reebok gets the rights to Ron Mexico jerseys, Nike gets Tebow. Next?

I have never heard so much buzz about a back up at any level at any position. It amazes me the attention he gets all because he prays. I think he’s got a great image and I would want him to date my daughter just not be on my football team

@tfbuckfutter

Reebok may not be as obvious to you in America as Nike, but it still has a world wide presence. The company is based out of the UK and got bought out by Adidas a few years ago.

Glad to see Tebow getting personally involved in this vital matter. Meanwhile, Manning is holed up with his new play book and has already held workouts with his new recievers.

@tfbukfutter reebok classics are still poppin!! And I’m willing to bet they sell more running shoes than nike in general… Even tho people like air max for looks nobody runs in them and that keeps their turnover rate lower

As a marketing ploy I’d give away the Tebow shirts… that action is legal..

trump NIKE and then encourage them to buy another shirt!

Not an attorney by any means but if the Nike contract starts on 4/1, whats the beef? Angry/jealous that Reebok is making a quick buck at the buzzer on some Tebow jerseys?

From the draft, to the comebacks and Tebowmania, to the trade that almost wasn’t, to the press conferences held on practice fields I find myself always commenting on Tebow by saying, “I have never seen anything like this before.”

His career, and live, is one of the strangest things I have ever seen as an NFL fan. I love the kid, but wow.

we call those men, Professional Athletes.

Why would anyone want to buy a backup QB’s jersey??

Give him a few solid weeks, a backup no more.
Your New Jersey Jets starting QB Tim Tebow.

Yeah, Nike is such a moral, upstanding company…. I’ll be buying the Chinese knockoffs for the next 5 years.

Reebok just want’s to make some money. Nike will take over April 3rd and they had an oppurtunity and they took it.

By: bigfranky75

bigfranky75 — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:44:19 +0000

My thought is if Nike has the rights to produce jerseys starting April 3, then Reebok has the right until that time.

If that is the not the case and it was Nike’s right to produce jerseys earlier than April 3…. then shame on Nike for not being ready when their exclusive period began…. i.e., if Reebok’s deal ran out March 1, then Nike should’ve been ready to sell jerseys on March 2. Its not like they didn’t have 2+ years to prepare.

The fact that there is a over a month in between Reebok’s and Nike’s deals wherein fans can’t purchase merchandise/jerseys is an epic FAIL on all involved, including the league.

This is where the US justice system has me scratching my head. Regardless of what deal Nike or Tebow have, if Reebok has the right to make and sell NFL jerseys for players as of right now, then their offerings should be consistent with player movement.

Why would Reebok have the right to make and sell NFL jerseys if they couldn’t keep them current through the lifetime of the deal?

This is more about Nike flexing muscle, than this has to do with what is right and wrong.

who the hell wants a tebow jersey anyways

By: IainRWB

IainRWB — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:21:47 +0000

It is outrageous that the NFL are selling these jerseys that the player will never wear. It’s ripping off the fans who buy it. Not everyone is so interested that they know the details of the kit manufacture contracts and many would assume that they were buying the jersey Tebow would be wearing next year.

The NFL should be offering every purchaser the chance to exchange their reebok jersey for a Nike one once they are available.

Can this issue somehow be solved by just banning Tebow and/or the jets?
