UST shirts/Jackets by adidas -gusto mo ba?

[Jandreks]

Initially, ang Ateneo and La Salle eh meron na sa product range (Shirts, Polo shirts, Jackets, hoodies, Caps) ng adidas and now available sa mga adishops.

Ikaw, bilang taga-uste, gusto mo bang meron din kayo?

[gioboy]

survey ba 'to?

if yes, count me in, kaso ang nike ngayon madaming ring nilalabas na yellow and black shirts and shoes kayo solve na ko. pero kung maglalabas ang adidas bibili ako. :)

[Prof. Jack]

Either Nike or Adidas, game ako. :)

[markfroilan]

akala ko meron na e, post ka kung meron na.

[clawed_out]

I would definitely love to get one.

Make sure it has quality and I don't care about the price.

The tafetta cloth isn't cutting it. It looks hideous and cheap like the others.

If you can produce a track jacket quality and look then count me in.

Until then, produce one that looks wearable and decent.

OFF WITH THE TIGER'S FACE EMBLEM. ang pangit.

[gioboy]

hope this one would push through, Adidas should consider the thomasian market, daming tomasino sa pilipinas.

[joekristoffer]

i'll buy if ever they will release UST inspired sports apparrels...

[gioboy]

what if Accel or LA Gear ang mag-release bibili kayo?

[Prof. Jack]

^ Yung sponsors na nga lang yung maipagmamalaki mo sa court eh. Paano kaya kung ANTA. :lol:

[clawed_out]

I'd prefer BOTAK.

:lol:

Any brand that has a decent design will do.

Most of the designs they have are either tacky or they look cheaply made.

[isparkleen]

Nakita ko yung sa DLSU at ADMU. Ang ganda. Sana may UST version din. :))

[Ashlars]

The UST community has considerable purchasing power.

I don't understand why adidas is ignoring the Thomasian market and electing instead to be elitist by exclusively sponsoring Ateneo and DLSU. :rolleyes:

To the adidas marketing department if you're reading this, please gather your thoughts and reconsider your actions. Is Goodie Custodio still the sports marketing head?

[gioboy]

we can visit their site and have a petition or send out emails to request them to make UST shirts and jackets. what do you think?

http://www.adidas.com/ph/shared/home.asp

[Jandreks]

Guys, hinay-hinay lang. Masyadong hot eh. May mga bagay na pwede namang pag-usapan ng maayos kahit wala namang iba pang issue na dapat pang ilabas. No need to mention about being "elite" and "ignoring market". It just won't help.

With regards to sponsorships, better ask whos in-charge on your school. As far as I know, contract with other outfitter is still on going.

As for petition to adidas, that's a good idea.

[speeka]

tingin ko malabong mangyari yan kasi Accel sponsor ng MBT naten eh. (di ko alam sa iba like volleyball etc.).

may binebenta naman na jackets sa ust diba? okay ba quality nun at magkano naman?

[Ashlars]

Well when your brand aligns itself with DLSU and Ateneo, you're definitely projecting an elitist image or, as marketing communication people love to put it, your brand is trying to be "aspirational." And if you turn your back against a 35,000-strong student population, I think that certainly qualifies as ignoring the market. :rolleyes:

Petitioning is a good idea but I wouldn't want UST to appear like it's groveling for the attention of adidas.

@speeka: Is Accel the official outfitter of all UST athletes?

[Jandreks]

Well, in my opinion, sino ba ang nag-iisip about "elitista"? And why be so affected if they want to project as waht you said "elitist image"?

May nagtatanong ba sa kakayahan ng mga taga uste? Wala.

The question I posted is so simple: "GUSTO MO BA?"

I challenge you. Ask those 35,000 students to post here. I bet, this thread wont even reach 1,000 posts in 3 days!

=========================================

Sorry, I just need to clarify one of your fellow... ahh... "Ustenian"?

it's not always the market for brands like adidas because they already have an established name and an established market base all over the world

sorry, but they can live without your 35k strong. you can offer them though. buti sila nagpapaoffer. ang nike hindi tumatanggap ng offers.

[gioboy]

^ hindi po USTenian, Thomasian or Tomasino in filipino po ang tawag samin.

Anyway dati ko pa naiisip yan nung naglabas ang Adidas ng Ateneo shirts and jackets, at hindi sila naglabas for other schools. And ngayon meron na ang DLSU.

Basta ko i want a UST Adidas jacket. Magiging best seller yan ng Adidas.

[gioboy]

guys let's show some support for Ms. Philippines Jennifer Barrientos (UST Tourism grad.) :D

http://www.nbc.com/Miss_Universe_2008/delegates/ph.shtml#

Just click on "VOTE for the Best in National Costume"

pick 3 candidates and provide your email ad.

(mas maganda daw po kung yung 2 other candidates na pipiliin ay di kagandahan ang costume) *okay*

[letsrockandroll]

me too, i want a UST adidas Jacket

and I DONT CARE about the PRICE!.

the most important thing is, the quality of the Jacket is good and the design is even much more better than those displayed in the UST Car Park. :)

Salamat po sa pagtatama. :-)

Kung ako naman ang tatanungin nyo, syempre gusto ko. I just want it to add sa aking jacket collection. Kung magkagayon man, buong UAAP jackets, meron ako! Hahaha!

[isparkleen]

Pwede naman siguro sila maglabas kung sakali no, since ang athletes naman ang dinadamitan ng Accel. Itong mga jackets na 'to ng Adidas kung sakali, para sa mga taong trip ang mga kulay ng UST, mga estudyante, etc. :)

UST Shirts/Jackets by adidas... Gusto mo ba?

It's a given that DLSU and Ateneo are elite schools. There's no need to exaggerate the obvious.

Let me ask you this then: UST Shirts/Jackets...GUSTO BA NG ADIDAS?

Hay.

[gioboy]

one more question pa pala... if Adidas intends to make this UST shirts and jackets, will they be required to ask permission to the university? and sa tingin nyo papayag ba UST knowing na medyo conserbatibo ang mga ito sa bagay bagay na yan at baka ma-commercialize masyado ang panganlan ng unibersidad.

[Jandreks]

If that brand is the Official outfitter them it is bounded by contracts. That brand can sue either the school or the other brand who will create merchandise.

Respeto nalang dun sa naunang may kontrata di ba? Kahit sabihin mo pang hindi naman ginaya ang design but still sila pa rin ang Official outfitter.

Then no need for you to say it over and over again since you already know the fact, right?

If adidas is thinking to dominate the UAAP schools then yes.

If the contract between adidas and UST worked out well then don't patronize UST-adidas merchandise.

[Jandreks]

Bro, think positive. Ako, gusto ko ng meron din. As far as I remember, when it was on stage of designing, it was consulted with school officials.

Jandreks, it's my money and I'll do whatever I want with it. If I do decide to purchase an adidas-UST merchandise, it's because I'm a Thomasian and I'm proud of my school.

Geez, I sure hope the adidas marketing department don't share your temper.

Jandreks, kalma lang! :lol: Masyado ka na atang pinapagod ng adidas. :)

[Jandreks]

Ashlars, sa pagpapaliwanag nadadaan ang lahat. Kung may napapansin kang "temper" eh better check your attitude.

Sa mga nabigyan ko ng reply dito eh ikaw lang ang nakaramdam ng ganyan

Btw, your side comments were already off the topic.


=============================================

So, sino pa ba ang may gusto?

[Altwegg]

Ako. Mayroon bang available na sa market? Anong hitsura?

[halcyon.rising]

So, sino pa ba ang may gusto?

ako. sa tono ng pagsasalita mo parang sure ka na magkakaroon ha :naughty:

[Jandreks]

Bro, sana nga magkaroon kasi nga, gusto kong idagdag ito sa collections ko. Sa ngayon malamang ay hindi pa kasi nga UST is still under the contract of the other outfitter.

Jandreks, you can't expect everyone to react in the same manner. So what if I reacted differently?

What's the point of this thread anyway? Now that some PEXers have expressed their interest, what's next?

[Ashlars]

Doc, wala pa nito sa market.

[Viva La Tigresa]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Adidas sponsored the jackets worn by the UST Yellow Jackets back in the early/late 90's. Not sure. :shrug:

Basta ang sigurado ako, branded ang kanilang jacket noon. Grabe. Ang ganda! At the back: SANTO TOMAS. Akala ko noon binebenta yun university-wide, 'yun pala, exclusive lang sa kanila.

I'm looking for a jacket that has a SANTO TOMAS imprint at the back pero sad to say, puro UST ang nakikita ko sa likod, chaka pa.

[gioboy]

UST jacket ng civil law maganda. :)

Parang natatandaan ko ito Ate V at tama ka, maganda nga!

Ako din 'Santo Tomas' yung hinahanap ko eh. Kung meron sanang magagawa ang adidas na yellow/white, black/white, black/yellow combo eh 'di panalo! Additional suggestion, omit the tiger face. Siguro the three stripes could be tiger scratch marks instead.

[Juntrix]

Opinion:

We have so many talented students from CFAD and Archi. Diba breathtaking palagi ang SDT costumes na design nila? Why not let them design our own 2008 jacket and sell them to the Thomasian community via the publicity by the Central Student Council? They can allocate a portion of the proceeds for charitable purposes... wouldn't that be better?

The "Adidas" brand sounds neat, yes. But I think if Thomasians would design their own jacket, it would look way better than the commercial Adidas design. Tayo ang gagawa eh... malamang gagandahan natin. Who knows kung sino ang magdedesign ng UST jacket natin sa Adidas (like the case of Universidad... their UST jackets suck!! Sorry ah opinion lang. Malamang hindi Thomasian gumawa nung jacket na yun.)

Sorry kung may ma o-offend, but the Ateneo and Lasalle jackets by Adidas do not appeal very much to me. Ang nagpapaganda lang is the Adidas logo. Try to picture this... alisin niyo yun Adidas logo... ano nalang siya? normal jakcet! :lol:

Plus, kahit sino pwede bumili nun sa malls... parang hindi na siya unique (even the non-atenistas and the non-lasallistas can buy those jackets). At least yun gagawing UST jacket, sa campus lang ibebenta... tayong tayo lang ang meron nun.

Hindi na kasi ako estudyante eh... you guys might want to coordinate with the Central Student Council para mag oarganize ng fund raising by selling UST jackets. This can be an annual thing.

Of cousre we must make sure na magandang maganda yun design and the construction/quality is superb. Tipong it will be the envy of everyone... :D

Not only do we have jackets, makakatulong pa tayo. Not to mention na magiging mas mura pa ang jackets. :)

================================================

Just my thoughts...

If you saw someone wearing UST apparel (jacket, shirt, cap), there is a very big chance that the wearer is a Thomasian. Eh kung Ateneo/Lasalle apparel? Not all the time. Besides, yun mga taga Lasalle-Lipa, Lasalle-Araneta, etc, plus yun taga Ateneo de Davao, Ateneo de Naga, etc, bibili rin naman sila ng Ateneo-Lasalle jackets eh, not to mention the fans... masyado nang saturated... Hindi mo alam kung "totoo" ba yun mga nagsusuot niyan... kaya OK rin na hindi commercialized ang UST jacket. Again... opinion ko lang naman.

[Ashlars]

You raised several valid points Juntrix, especially regarding the fans who'd be wearing the apparel.

Another suggestion could be to coordinate with Team Manila. They make great designs and I read somewhere that the founders are UST alums so for sure, they'd be able to come up with something neat.

Pardon me, but I have to react to this post. From my understanding, are you questioning those students who are not enrolled in DLSU-M and AdMU, but do come from the sister schools of the two universities, in regards to their purchasing of these items? I believe that they are still called La Sallians and Ateneans, regardless of the campus that they are enrolled in.

If the plan does push through to retail Adidas (or whatever sports brand)-made UST apparel, would you also be critical of the students who will be purchasing these items who are enrolled in UST-Santa Rosa, Laguna and UST-General Santos and not in UST-Manila? Just asking.

Btw, Accell was born as a product of a splinter group of former Adidas-Philippines officers. Their head is a Thomasian, that is why UST was one of the first to be outfitted by the brand during its inception in 2002.

Regarding Adidas, the MBT was outfitted by the three stripes until the 2000 UAAP Season. The WBT had Adidas as its outfitter when they won the crown in 2006. The only UST varsity that has been consistently sponsored by Adidas is the football team. Both men and women's squads have been wearing the three stripes for nearly a decade already.

On your first question:
Since these Adidas items are commercially available, anyone can buy them. Who am I to question anyone who would like to purchase those jackets?

I am not questioning the identity of the students from the sister schools of AdMU and DLSU. Yes they are still Ateneans and LaSallians, but sorry... the Adidas jackets are not really marketed to them.

On your second question:
So as long as the future UST's are considered as branches and not sister schools (like Letran), then I think it's okay.

Sus bakit naman ako magiging critical sa mga susuot ng UST jacket hehe! Kahit sino namang gusto magsuot OK lang. I just meant that having commercialized jackets has it's disadvantages, one of which I have mentioned in my previous post.

[markfroilan]

If this doesnt materialize,,,,,,so what.itchoki.if it does, oki pa din

On another note, its uniquely thomasian that we dont market our school and overtly put too much hype on things as these(jackets,apparels). Unlike other universities clamoring for attention, they seek to solicit more than what there reputation precedes them.

May mga nakita nga ako nakasuot ng ateneo jacket and i asked them if they're authentic alumnis and students,,,,,surprisingly they said no. So it just wears out the name - ATENEO coz anyone can buy em atenean and non atenean. Also knowing that ateneo has i believe less than 15k combined population in loyola,,,,,they know each other and by that they really do. so real ateneans feel trespassed if they see others not ateneans by blood wearing em.

And guess from what school wears em.........

If I may, UST with all its entirety and influence can sign an MOA with adidas to create, make, design jackets, apparel for EXCLUSIVE THOMASIANS ONLY sold inside our campus, sold to students with a charitable benefactor, if in adidas stores an alumni card or ID should be presented for pass as to avoid making the stuff vague, exclusivity should still be observed. heck it, we have 40k combined population not to mention our weight fr alumni and friends abroad.Lack of marketing insight for adidas.

[karlroy3000]

Guys, may nakita akong brown track jacket (with some yellow stripes sa wrist and neck area) na may nakasulat na UST sa likod. Anyone know kung saan makakabili nito?

[Altwegg]

Sa carpark. May black din nyan. Huling bili ko P800.

[Juntrix]

^can someone please post a picture of that jacket? na-curious naman ako hehehe sige na!! :D

[bigbadwolf]

Meron akong question - gusto mo ba ng (a) UST jacket or gusto mo ba ng (b) UST jacket na gawa ng Adidas or Nike?

Pag UST jacket, this is easier. Pwede yan na made by a known sportswear company (LGR, Kobee, AtletA, Botak). Designed in-house (within UST) by a UST student (regardless of course). Pwede pa yang pa-contest. Whoever wins gets x number of jackets.

Marketing - madali din yan. A jacket made for UST by UST. Whoever is the reseller gets x percent comission. Sold only by UST students. Multiply pa lang dami na nyang benta.

My only concern is if we want a UST jacket, do we need to get permission from UST first? I know for a fact that another sportswear company, Universidad, does not have any agreement with UST (or any other school). Pinapayagan lang silang magbenta sa campus. Do we need to pay the school to make a school jacket?

So ayan. Kelangan ba na UST jacket or UST jacket made by Nike/Adidas?

Do we want to wear the school or the brand?

[clawed_out]

^ that is one of the jackets that I can wear outside of the school. Too bad the size that I have is a little small so I gave it to a buddy.

The design is synonymous to the UST SDT's uniform a year ago (fontwise). It is simple and pleasing to the eyes. There isn't much going on (no tiger stripes, no tiger face, nothing dizzying).
