[ian1964 10,447]

FC Bayern München has signed a new €900 million kit deal ($987m / £644m) to make FC Bayern Munich's kits for 15 years from next season. The new record-breaking Adidas FC Bayern Munich Kit Deal was already confirmed by Adidas spokesperson Oliver Brüggen.

 

Even though FC Bayern München's previous Adidas Jersey Deal would have run until 2020, recently crowned Bundesliga champions Bayern München and Adidas agreed an early extension through to 2030. The previous Adidas FC Bayern Munich Shirt Deal was worth €20 million / season.

 

FC Bayern Munich Sign 15-Year Adidas Kit Deal

Adidas will make the FC Bayern Shirts at least until 2030.

 

German newspaper Sport Bild reports that the new FC Bayern Munich Adidas Kit Deal is worth approximately €60m / season, which makes the deal the second-highest deal in football. The total package of the new Bayern München deal with Adidas is worth €900 million. Adidas and Manchester United signed a £75m kit deal in Summer 2014.

 

"Adidas continues the successful decades-long partnership with FC Bayern Munich with the contract extension until 2020," confirmed company spokesman Oliver Brueggen. "The commitment underlines our new strategy. In the future, we will concentrate even more to sign deals with selected high-profile clubs and national teams as well as young ambitious players.

 

The new FC Bayern Munich 15-16 Home Kit is set to be revealed in the coming days, while the FC Bayern Munich 2015-16 Away and Third Jerseys will be revealed in Summer 2015. The new Bayern Munich 2015-16 Home Jersey returns to the iconic red shirt design.

If you see that or all the other stuff going on at the "elite" clubs of the "elite" leagues in Europe, you know the script. These teams are essentially doing to their leagues in general and European competitions in particular what Rangers and the Hooped Horrors did these last 50odd years to Scottish football. No wonder that those not belonging to this "elite" (or the Old Firm, in Scotland's case) have no sympathy for any of their failures on and off the park, rather on the contrary.

 

We ... can look how they do it, how they play and being set up, check their business modell et al, but I doubt they will be a standard we shall look to emulate. This is Scotland, with a Scottish audience, a mainly Scottish pool of talent, a Scottish economy and media strength. We should keep that in mind and base our setup on the here and now, for the time being that is. First steps first, and no-one is saying that we should not have higher aims later.

The sooner we get Adidas or Nike back and stop functioning like a mickey mouse club the better.

 

The buttons we get from Puma are not worth going with a poor brand like them. They put no effort into our clothing either.

Hello kitty! Arsenal agree £170m kit deal with Puma.. the biggest in English football

 

Arsenal have agreed the biggest kit deal in English football with sports giants Puma.

 

They have struck an agreement worth in excess of £30m-a-year which could see the five year contract worth £170m in total.

 

The deal worth more than Liverpool’s new £25m-a-year contract with Warrior and brings to an end Arsenal’s 20-year tie-up with Nike.

 

The deal, which will not be announced officially for some time, will give Arsenal major additional financial clout on top of the £150m five year shirt sponsorship deal with Emirates.

 

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has already been promised £70m to spend on transfer targets this summer as the club looks to rebuild and strengthen the squad.

If it's good enough for the Arsenal ......

It really doesn't matter which brand it is, we cannot command the amount we want. We just have to take what's on offer.

Yes, hence why I said this:

At least with Nike and Adidas we will get good merchandise. I've had a few too many kits in the last 10 or so years with material that gets ruined in the wash, or sponsors that randomly peel off after a week's use. Being with those brands alone should see us marketed a bit better too.

Adidas and Nike have little interest in us. That has pretty much been proven. You say the "buttons Puma put in" - if it is buttons (I'm not disputing that) then it wouldn't be much of an ask for Nike or Adidas to beat their offer. Clearly they don't care enough.

Of course they don't care about us. Why should they.
