.....beginning in 2004-2005. Hard to believe they have a new outfitter. Champion, Puma and Nike contracts expire then. Hmm, Reebok is getting overzealous, having already signed a huge contract with the NFL as well. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news/ap/20010801/ap-nba-reebok.html Reebok, NBA in deal to make Canton-company exclusive provider August 1, 2001 BOSTON (AP) -- Reebok will outfit all 29 National Basketball Association teams, as well as market and sell their apparel, under a new 10-year agreement. The agreement, terms of which were not immediately disclosed, takes full effect beginning in the 2004-2005 season, once contracts between individual teams and Nike, Champion and Puma have expired. The deal also applies to all WNBA teams and teams in NBA's development league. The deal gives Reebok exclusive rights to supply and market all on-court apparel, including uniforms, shooting shirts, warm-ups, jerseys and practice gear. Reebok will also have, with limited exceptions, exclusive rights to market and sell headgear, t-shirts, fleece and other apparel. The company recently signed a 10-year, $250 million agreement with the NFL. ------------------ My doctor says I am bipolar. I am going to get a second opinion.

This sucks. I hate Reebok. I really don't want to wear any NBA gear w/ a Reebok logo on it. ------------------
I don't have anything against Reebok at all . . . but I wish it were Converse WOW, that is pretty awesome for Reebok though. Reebok has REALLY been aggressive lately, with the I3 line, and signing Steve Francis and a few other stars. Now let's see if they can make good shoes -- the Wink DMX was a HUGE disappointment. But the I3 was kickass. ------------------ "We must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom." --Kang

I was watching SportsCenter and some original Nike outfitted teams (Raiders, Packers, Jets) have switched to Reebok. Who is next? The Cowboys. I don't like Reebok and I didn't like Puma before the Rockets signed with them. Now I wear Puma stuff - Rockets Puma stuff. The Reebok gear will grow on us. 10 years is a long time.
