One of Syracuse Orange fans’ biggest frustrations with supporting the team is with regard to SU’s relationship with Nike.
It’s not that fans have an issue with Nike itself, of course. But the benefits of the long-term partner have rarely seemed as apparent to those most willing to buy both tickets and merchandise. We have monthly conversations here about how SU should return to the script logo across nearly all sports (maybe football excepted). And how Syracuse needs new uniforms (especially in football). And how the merchandise is middling at best.
For many schools affiliated with Nike or their competitors, this isn’t the case.
