Adidas

The Adidas website – a textbook example of what not to do.

Not only is it entirely in Flash, but it also loads the whole catalog at once, as a result of  which the computer brutally freezes up. Mine, due to old age, for a whole 20 seconds, but a modern one will surely lag like hell too.

And I've sensed for a long time that Adidas is a crappy company. It reeks from a mile away of the early 90s spirit and gopniks. Too bad technically and design-wise they are still top-notch, so I have to buy their products. Pretty much against my will. I can barely stomach it.

Spotted this Jersey, on ebay it's only 55 greenbacks and 15 for shipping.

White Adidas cycling jersey with short sleeves, a full-length zipper and the signature black stripes on the shoulders. Contrasting shaped black panels are located on the chest and sides.

Why it's called a Jersey – beats me. Barely found where the cycling shirts are on Chain. They make up all sorts of stuff, and a normal foreigner has to sit and rack his brains.
