craig 5,199 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think we all do, from a personal perspective. But without knowing the details of any prospective deals being offered it is simply too difficult to compare them with anyone else. If the financial aspect is close then Adidas is a no-brainer - but I suspect that Green thinks this way too. Which suggests that it isnt as close as we would believe. I do see the point of view that Adidas is a powerhouse football brand - though not convinced they are bigger than Nike - they seem to be relatively even to me. I have seen as many Nike stors abroad as I have Adidas, in fact I would guess I have seen more Nike than Adidas. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueflag 378 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 lol trying to talk down adidas. its the worlds number one brand for football, it is the football brand. the best of the best. im not talking it down because I dont like em.. I just trying compare why it would be best for us. there a huge brand and of course it would be good to get them the biggie is how it compares to other bids financially. but to just say its the best..because you think so is pretty strange. you have basically saying it should be adidas at no hesitation. .without even considering what others have to offer too.. even the macron (if true) offer. and if its good enough for some the others on there list worldwide it should be good enough for us right now.but you dismissed because you hadnt seen them on your travels.

GovanAllan 0 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If we just want the best biggest company then its Nike by a country mile, and I could start buying Nike stuff again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest carter001 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 When will it be announced? He said the announcement was imminent but, there had been delays due to the kit deal not being agreed on its own. Its part of a bigger interlinked package relating to the stadium renaming etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds kinda like the suggestion that Umbro had the deal with JJB and not us. I could never see the cash from the supposed deal with Umbro and it was always a bit murky. I can't see the logic in tying a strip deal into a merchandising or stadium naming deal but I guess there must be something that I'm missing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern here is that by the interlinking it will be spun to sound an immense deal when the reality is different. I'm not overjoyed by the stadium renaming. I am however happy with Puma, not a fan of Umbro & whilst Adidas has a certain pull their shirt designs are nothing to shout about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
