Can anybody tell me why Nike and other brands are'nt In Madden

[retrohelix]

I 've often wondered why the players In NCAA were the officially licensed shoes but the players wear only reebox any reason for this?

This stuff usually comes down to legal mumbo jumbo and money doesn't it?

I would like to see this also. If it can be in NBA Live & NCAA, why can't it be in Madden? I hate seeing my created player in Reebok's.

Reebok is the exclusive outfitter of the NFL. All teams have jerseys made by Reebok.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about shoes. The whole league isn't required to wear Reebok's. NFL also has licensing to wear Nike, & UA as well as Reebok's only. I'm not sure how the adidas thing works w/ Reggie Bush. I remember him having to pay some fines, which adidas covered.

Maybe EA has to sign a deal with each of these companies? (Adidas, Nike...etc)

I honestly don't know, just offering up my .02

Now that I re-read it you're right. As far as shoes go, I have no idea.

I was thought as far as shoes go players are only permitted to wear Reebok. Maybe they changed that. Remember Reggies Bush being fined for wearing Addidas cleats?
