City Lad Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 Derby County will team up with adidas next season! The Rams have entered into a five-year agreement with the world's leading sports brand who will supply team and staff kit and branded merchandise including replica kit."We are absolutely delighted," said Derby County managing director Mike Horton, "as adidas is a brand renowned for quality and that will appeal to our fans. "This is a tremendous opportunity for the club and adidas to work together, and marks the start of what should be a long and rewarding relationship." Gavin Thomson, sales director, adidas area north, said: "We are very excited about our new relationship with Derby County. This comes at an exciting time in Derby's own development." Top Premiership clubs Chelsea and Liverpool wear adidas. Next season's Rams replica kit, made by adidas, could be available to fans from August. Derby are believed to be half way through a four-year kit deal with Spanish company Joma which they inherited from the previous board. It is understood the Rams are in negotiations to terminate the contract. They encountered problems with the Joma kit last summer when 1,700 of the new home shirts had to be sent back to the manufacturer after faults were discovered. Staff at the club shop at Pride Park Stadium noticed that the logo of sponsor 'The Derbyshire' was coming away at the corners. This led to a shortage of new shirts and left fans struggling to purchase them before the season's opening game against Southampton. Link Its on a myspace site so it might not be true.
