Adidas Golf launches special EQT throwback collection
In 1991, Adidas introduced the Badge of Sport logo to the world with the launch of its Equipment (EQT) range. In celebration of the 30th anniversary, the company has launched a special throwback collection of EQT footwear and apparel.
The EQT collection combines sport-specific and progressive styling with the original Equipment branding throughout. Continuing the EQT mission to incorporate “everything that is essential, nothing that is not,” the collection merges high-performance fabrics with sustainable PrimeGreen materials to align with the brand’s goal to ‘End Plastic Waste’.

The EQT apparel collection features a two-tone mesh polo that provides an updated take on a print polo to offer increased mobility with a special design, whilst the EQT Crew features a unique mock collar construction with modern branding.


The collection incorporates a sleeveless Equipment Polo designed specifically for women, featuring four-way stretch and a zipped front for maximum style and comfort. The men’s Equipment Pique Zipper Polo, ¼ Zip Sweatshirt and women’s Equipment Short Sleeve Polo complete the collection following the EQT design principal – ‘the way a product looks, is determined by what it does.’

Speaking on the new collection, Shaun Madigan, global apparel director, Adidas Golf said
“The EQT Collection gave us the opportunity to be sportier and further enhance our branding in specific areas of our product range, ultimately spicing up our product offerings. The introduction of the Badge of Sport logo back in the early nineties was a statement from the brand, showing which equipment was sport focused and made purely for the athlete.”

The EQT and EQT SPKL footwear draws inspiration from the original Equipment footwear in both styling and functionality, combining Boost technology for maximum comfort with a sustainable PrimeGreen upper that continues its mission to end plastic waste.


Per the company, both the spiked or spikeless options provide locked-in stability and traction to help off the tee.

All products in Adidas’ EQT Collection are available now at adidas.com, and through the Adidas app.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
