Before the final two games of the Elite 8 started today, I could only think, and hope that Michigan State would be Louisville so that ALL of the Final Four teams, were Nike Sponsored teams.
I know I have a problem, but I have been brand loyal to Nike and Jordan Brand for nearly 2 decades now. Thousands of shoes, shirts and shorts have been in my possession since about the 3rd grade, and I am not going to change what brand KICKS I will wear for the rest of my life!
Since the early 90's, Nike has taken their brand to another level, by signing household names and teams to their label. Michigan, and the FAB 5, transformed the game and started the whole new "hip-hop" era and used Nike to promote the new fashion that is still currently seen in basketball. Long, baggy shorts, black socks, and Nike basketball kicks!
Today marked another day in Nike history, when Michigan State, and North Carolina, joined UCONN and Villanova as 4 NIKE TEAMs to earn their trip to Detroit's Ford Field, for the Final 4 next weekend.
Nike is not going anywhere, and they are only getting stronger, by day, with their visibility across the world. And believe me, all of the NikeHeads will be tuned in to see what new kicks/unis Nike will be exposing next weekend in the Motor City.
