Quarterly Quarrel: Financial Discussion Part 4

For aesthetics, I'd rather Puma if we had to leave Nike. I just can't imagine a United shirt with 3 stripes on the shoulders.

 

Not for me...that Puma gear is too skintight, form fitting. I'm already shuddering at the sights of fat Gooners next season in the stands with the kit on.

Plus, we've done Adidas before and they look brilliant.

 

That was the 70's!!!!

 

I would be a fan of adidas. Nike has had a good run, but I've been growing away from their product over the last three to five years. I think their boots have become less and less quality, and now it appears that their kits are doing the same as well. Nike has become a corporate incarnation of American consumerism, whereas Adidas is reshaping in the face of German pragmatism and meticulous design.

 

Most probably be Nike, we are their last remaining top client in football as far as I remember.

 

I agree to an extent Syed, but they do have Barcelona, Brazil, PSG, Man City still in the stable.

 

So a shrinking list, and only Barcelona.

 

Also the eighties.

6 Top Red Points Deducted.

In all seriousness though, when I think of the "classic" Man United kit, I tend to think of the early eighties shirt.

 

Puma seems like they produce cheap low quality kits.

Apparently we plan on parading the club around Europe to make up for the European monies we will not be collecting next season.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at us giving up the last few shreds of dignity.

 

If foreign idiots want to pay to watch dross and buy merchandise then why not? Injuries and fatigue are well worth the additional money for Moyes' signings.

 

Please tell me this is a joke.

Please lord.

 

Mirror going with 600M over 10 years with Nike.

Not as much as the initial reports but still a massive improvement.

 

But (apparently) this will allow Utd to maintain "the Utd way". "The Utd way" used to involved playing well -- now it appears to be "maintain the existing Utd board in the style they're accustomed to".

 

60 from Nike + 35 from Chevrolet. Almost doubles Real's kit deal with Adidas.

 

What about adidas and their shirt sponsors, combined?

 

nike's deal doubles adidas' (60 v 31). no idea how much real is getting from fly emirates.

 

My wait for a strip continues.

 

Another 12 from DHL for the training kit as well iirc

 

Somewhere, Rooney's agent is stroking his chin and contemplating how long it's feasible for his client to wait before deciding to be dissatisfied with the clubs current direction...

 

for some reason I really hate this thread. we dont post a lot in it but when i see it as an unread thread, it just pisses me off.............
