I was surprised too. When I went to Oak Grove yesterday, I expected to see PM decked out in head to toe Adidas shwag, especially after all the hubbub surrounding his new deal. But the only Adidas he was wearing were on his feet. Not even and Adidas on his socks. And I'm sure he's only wearing what he's contracted to wear, otherwise there's no incentive for Adidas to offer him any more.
I also have wondered for a while why a player of his stature would ever show any logos that he wasn't being compensated to show. In absolute terms, if a player like PM is wearing a logo of a company that is not compensating him, it's like giving away free advertising. If he ever gets an agent, that'll stop.
Hard to find completely unbranded athletic clothing, though. Plus, I could see him cherry-picking certain brands in the hopes that they might consider sponsoring him since he's already wearing it.
We'll see if any of his fashion choices change at the Memorial, a much larger stage. In the meantime, I'm going to shower off the stench that comes with overanalyzing a pro disc golfer's clothing.
