Title: Adidas Sponsorship
Post by: Boy About Town on Sunday, April 8, 2012, 10:19:39
At the Barnet game a mate of mine said our deal with Adidas is due to expire, is that true? Will they be renewing kit production with us? We may never have had better kits than what we have at the moment!

Yes it is due to run out, and I don't think it is being renewed.  We were in talks with 2 other manufacturers last I heard, but this was back in Oct.  I believe the 2 other ones we were talking to were Macron and Reebok, but I might be wrong.

Oh please god no, anyone but Reebok. Bolton's kits have been consistently repulsive.

Great news! Any news on Samsung, 442 and Fifa?

That's good. With the exception of the white sleeve last season, the Adidias kit and general merchandise is absolute class IMO.

Think they were with us before that as the search for a player thingy has now been going two years

Yeah, I tried to find the adver story but couldn't..

Originally the Win a pro thing was for a year and it's been extended.

I noticed in the Wembley programme that in the advert for Win A Pro Contract, that it says that it's going to be open for nominations from May 2012...so I can assume Samsung will be renewing.

Saying that, with the publicity PdC gives the club, plus the sponsors via his press conferences, I think it is unlikely anyone will not be renewing unless the club significantly puts their price up.

Let's hope so as we have some high profile sponsors

Perhaps they will have an early bird price for sponsorships?

Oh, that's good news then.  Love Adidas stuff.  It was back in October that I heard that it wasn't looking good.

Good news

WRT Adidas. Yes it is in place for next season. I went into the club shop for a replica shirt for my wife to wear to Wembley. Apart from having only XXL available in abundance they had some generic polo shirts, which I bought for her in the end. The lady said there were going to be no more replica shirts in this season, no surprise there but they were going up from £38 to £45 next season as adidas had put their prices up 20% and in fact they resisted a shirt price of £40 this season.

£45 is a bit hefty for a bit of nylon, that's PL prices

Getting to the point now where a football top is becoming a very expensive item of clothing.  I wouldn't expect to see too many sold at those prices.  You would have to really want to pay £45.

Think the polo shirts are far nicer
