Wagner Brothers Reportedly Near Endorsement Deal with Adidas

On the Orlando side, a deal with Adidas would lead Franz and Moritz into following the footsteps of legendary Orlando Magic guard, Tracy McGrady.

Anyone who grew up in Orlando in the early 2000s can tell you how you could not go outside without seeing the three stripes, the T-Mac 3 stripes to be exact:

The blue, the black, the white....

The all reds.

Iconic designs that live in nostalgia shoe heaven to this day.

While Nike is in the midst of refreshing Orlando's old jersey logos with a new twist this season, we can only hope the designers at Adidas can work in an homage to these T-Mac shoes in some fashion when they begin rolling out merch for the Wagners.

This Adidas deal would make the Wagner Brothers faces of their national tv "You Got This" campagin, which according to Len Werle's piece, 'focuses on mental resilence and the power of community in sports.'

Signing with Adidas is one of the strongest marketing moves the Wagner brothers could hope for, and the timing couldn't be better, as the Orlando Magic expect to rise towards contending status this season, which in turn will help all parties gain notoriety and name recognition.

Adidas adds homegrown talent that everyone in the country of Germany can rally behind as legitimate sports fans for the foreseeable future.

The Wagners negotiate a deal that highlights their growing popularity and provides them a path to earn real revenue off the court while building a brand association when on the court.

Signing a shoe deal with your brother because of your entertaining chemistry, bilingual skillset, and incredible athletic talent that you both have shown together on and off the floor must feel pretty cool.
