"I see white people..."

I believe that came from either scary movie 2 or 3.

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Yeah, that's where I think I heard it from.

One of the Wayans brother says, "I see white people, all the time..." I belive thast in Scary Movie 2, dont remember which brother, but i think it was Damon(sp?) Wayans.

Just a guess..CCM JV's with Adidas..along with several smaller companies to form a competitor similar to Bauer Nike.....

I can't see Reebok and Adidas working together on anything.

...oops

If they decided to get into the market I would imagine Adidas would buy an existing brand but not many of the top level brands are for sale. They already own Taylor made and I believe Titleist in the golf market so Hockey may not be entirely out of the question.

As I said before, my old coach who designs shoes at Adidas said they weren't going to do hockey. Now that was a few years ago, and it was back when Easton, Bauer, and CCM controlled the market. Say what you want about there being a monopoly with Easton, but I think the success of companies like Inno and especially Mission make hockey more appealing to investors.

I was't suggesting that they were going to do so, sorry if I gave that impression. The profit margins on OPS are pretty decent, that's why more people are getting into the market. Assuming of course they aren't investing much into R&D.

Oh no I didn't get that impression at all. Hell I wish they'd get involved, I'd be able to score a few sticks in the process. I didn't really finish my complete thought in the last post. I think that its likely they could get involved by having someone else such as Bauer does with Inno, or Mission with Adelphia (?), but like you said, I doubt there would be a true line of Adidas hockey.

[Chadd 916]

Aldila makes the Mission shafts.

[kosydar 0]

Aldila right. So then Adelphia is that cable company that went Enron, right?

Titleist is owned by the parent company acushnet, which also owns footjoy. Sorry about my nitpicking.

Yeah, gotta love those crazy PA exects.

Thanks Cavs, I forget who else Adidas owns.

Solomon skis.

Mavic bike wheels, Bonfire snow clothing, ARCteryx outdoor clothing, Cliché skateboard, and Maxfli golf balls.

[Cavs019 702]

Thats it, I knew adidas owned a ball company.
