When the Rutgers athletic department officially switched over to Adidas from Nike on July 1st, there was a strategic social media campaign to celebrate the move. The slogan adopted has been “Three Stripe Knights”, which is catchy way to say Rutgers and Adidas are now a thing. While what the new uniforms will look like for most sports has yet to be announced, there have been some sneak peaks shown on social media through various people.
Rutgers football assistant head coach and offensive line coach A.J. Blazek tweeted out this new hat back in early June:
That was our first clue that perhaps Adidas was working with Rutgers to improve the association of the school as the state university of New Jersey.
