Depends on what 'with' means. Regardless of the situation, SPVB should be allowed to purchase equipment and apparel. Is it more than just them going back to buying Mizuno gear (with a standard discount that comes with buying in bulk)? They signed a multi year contract with Mizuno. I’m not completely in the know anymore but I’d suspect the return of Mizuno Spvb 18 etc... I guess Mizuno is going to get a few calls on Monday to verify if this is true. I guess if only one club is the country is wearing your stuff, it might as well be one run by a guy with a lifetime ban from AAU & USAV. I would suggest everyone consider moving to Asics, Under Armor, Adidas, or Nike if the information is true. They all make good uniforms and shoes but who a company sponsors says more about a company than the style of their products.

They were with UA before so now they're acceptable???.. Athletes should have good stuff regardless of club.

It's not that big of a deal.

New tagline for Nike: “Just do it, we make ok enough uniforms and shoes.” And somehow all of the volleyball community that wears Nike seems to forget about the sweatshops in which they employ school aged children for mere cents a day. Maybe your top 100 post winnings should go to the Save A Child fund for Nike exploitation workers.

Mullen was recruited for this lawsuit to act as a publicity spot. Now that the charade is over, attention is back to being diverted elsewhere again. Goalposts —————————————> <-------------------------------- Goalposts Let me put them back where they always were. Getting a serial rapist out of the sport. Don't expect you to understand.

This deal has been described as a 4 year sponsorship deal according to what was posted. I have issue with any company that knowingly supports a coach who received a lifetime ban and they are feeding him $$ or in-kind support.

Found this elsewhere. It seems the SPVB announvement was misleading, deliberate or not, about the relationship with Mizuno. I don't think Mizuno is all that keen about it.
Just received a response from Mizuno about Sports Performance! Interesting.
hank you for contacting us and for your concern regarding Sports Performance. We are aware of the recent social post regarding Sports Performance and Mizuno, and it is not fully representative of our relationship with them. To be clear, Mizuno is not sponsoring nor supporting Sports Performance in any special manner. Sports Performance—like other clubs—has a free choice on which uniforms and gear they purchase, and they have selected Mizuno from an assortment of brands who manufacture volleyball products. The nature of this relationship is no different than that of any of the other hundreds of clubs who choose Mizuno: we will offer uniforms and gear to their players to help them perform at their best in a game that we are all passionate about. That is the extent of our relationship with Sports Performance. We are sorry for any confusion that has been created by Sports Performance’s post, but hope this helps clarify and alleviate any concerns.
Best Regards,
Ed B.
Mizuno USA

Maybe your top 100 post winnings should go to the Save A Child fund for Nike exploitation workers. So I'm confused as to why everyone's panties are in a bunch. The Facebook post/announcement literally said: Source: www.facebook.com/SportsPerformanceVBC/photos/a.10150326241231055/10158359274306055/?type=3&theaterWhere is the gray area? Seems black & white. Kids will purchase their gear through the vendor of choice which will provide the kids with Mizuno wear. Would you all rather have these kids play naked? This is absolutely the most inflated thing in this thread. And it's not even about the lawsuit at this point. It's about being up in arms about uniform vendors. I cannot be the only one scratching my head about this.

Mizuno USA deohge Exactly what was written on the FB post I just quoted. It is an agreement to be the provider of uniforms. Soupman you are so quick to point out divisive disingenuous reaching posts and I'm here to suggest that the entire thought process of this argument is "reaching" at best.

Soupman you are so quick to point out divisive disingenuous reaching posts and I'm here to suggest that the entire thought process of this argument is "reaching" at best. "So excited to announce that we have signed a four year agreement with Mizuno for all of our apparel needs. It's great to be back with an organization that was part of our family from 1996-2017" Think if the post stopped after the first sentence, I'd be ok with it. The addition of the second sentence could imply to some that this was more of a relationship than just apparrel. That's how I read it anyway....
