The wait is over.
Washington’s Adidas football uniforms are finally here.
Technically, they’ve been here; they just haven’t been public. They’ve spent much of the last week concealed in a storage unit, adorning a trio of golden mannequins, ensconced in a thick film of billowing purple smoke. The storage unit was on a small boat — The PartnerShip — which waded teasingly on Lake Washington, occasionally hosting media members or season ticket holders for a premature peek at the new threads.
But nine days after the UW’s 10-year, $120 million partnership with Adidas officially began, the uniforms have been unveiled for all the world to see.
