I understand that Adidas owns Reebok, but they aren't the same company.

We get it. You don't like green because the canucks wear them. Most of us also hate the canucks. Seattle going to neon green wasn't that big of a stretch, since they had green in their uniforms before. That wasn't a "huge, crazy change". They have their dark blue jersey, with some green accents, as they have had since their inception. They have worn a 3rd jersey (similar concept to an NHL team's 3rd jersey) that was neon green. Green is still one of their colours.

The Canadiens wouldn't go to neon green because that's not one of their colours. This doesn't include the Montreal Shamrocks, or St. Patrick's Day themed jerseys. The Canadiens will always be in bleu, blanc et rouge.
I assumed they were talking about NCAA jerseys, and the poster interpreted 'football uniforms' as 'NFL uniforms'.

But Adidas does have some NCAA uniforms... and I'm assuming sublimation allows for super-duper patterns like this:



Oy...

Neat looking, for sure. But hope that is only used for all-star games. I hate to think of what fire and flame ideas Adidas would come up with if they green-lit sublimating on our jerseys.
