jonny_wright Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 My friend works for a graphic design company that do shop designs and layouts - last Friday my friend started working on designs for Adidas for the club shops of Middlesborough and Leicester. He designed a sign saying "The New Leicester Adidas home strip" He says the graphic deadlines for all the work is March so i guess they can be all printed up for June time when we make our return to the championship - my friend does not like football so he did'nt talk about it in too much detail because he was'nt interested but he just mentioned it over the weekend to me! I know Mandaric has been unhappy with the quality and delays of the Jacko strip and it would suggest he invited offers !! Good news though in my opinion !!! THIS THREAD IS QUITE OLD. IF YOU *STILL* HAVEN'T READ IT YET, WE ARE NOT HAVING AN ADIDAS KIT, A PUMA KIT, OR ANYTHING COOL.
Phube Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 I call "Load of crap"... but I WISH it were true...
jonny_wright Posted 6 October 2008 Author Posted 6 October 2008 I call "Load of crap"... but I WISH it were true... Ill try and get a proof off him - and ill ask him for more details - but Adidas make Peterboroughs and Derby kit so its not unrealistic!! Watch this space...........!!
jonny_wright Posted 6 October 2008 Author Posted 6 October 2008 No thanks, they're boring.All the same. but yea Derbys home kit is a bit rank and it seems with Adidas unless your a top 4 club you get a crappy generic design !!
Alexikokopops Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 Ill try and get a proof off him - and ill ask him for more details - but Adidas make Peterboroughs and Derby kit so its not unrealistic!!Watch this space...........!! Yeah, but Addidas signed the deal with Derby when they were a Premiership team and I assumed the Peterborough deal was similar to Southend and Nike kits.
JakeShingler Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 but yea Derbys home kit is a bit rank and it seems with Adidas unless your a top 4 club you get a crappy generic design !! Liverpool Chelsea and Derby shirts all the same and the Derby away shirt is the same as Cheseal away one last season Fact. Hope its true.
jonny_wright Posted 6 October 2008 Author Posted 6 October 2008 Yeah, but Addidas signed the deal with Derby when they were a Premiership team and I assumed the Peterborough deal was similar to Southend and Nike kits. Well Derby signed the deal when they were 3rd in the table in the championship in April 2007 - but i would say the demand for Leicester shirts is just as much as derbys and i would have thought leicester would not command a significant sum of money for the technical sponsorship - all i know is Jacko are crappo and the delays in the 3rd strip are not acceptible for a club trying to make money!!

Yes but the shirts we have now are nice and a reasnable price. we couls be paying a lot for an adidad one.
lildave3 Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 How are they the same? Yet again you're on the money Shingly.
Alexikokopops Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 Yes but the shirts we have now are nice and a reasnable price. we couls be paying a lot for an adidad one. They'll still be £40 whoever we have.
Sods Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 The best thing about addidas is the socks. Its all about the socks.
sdb Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 no doubt adidas kits look better than jako ones, but topps tiles will mean it still looks crap, unless maybe we had the logo in white. that'd look slick. mmm
MC Prussian Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 Excuse me, but Puma and Umbro make much sexier kits.
Phube Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 Excuse me, but Puma and Umbro make much sexier kits. Chav!!!
Sods Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 Excuse me, but Puma and Umbro make much sexier kits. What are the socks like though?

I'd like this to be true, how ever I carnt see it being true, unless Adidas will be our 125 Year kit makers.
Asha Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 Rather have Puma. If we'd get something similar to Derby, then fcuk it.
Daggers Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 If anypone would like to explain to me why one brand of shirt is "better" than another then I'm all ears? Do any of them not use the same slave labour sweatshops in India and Bangladesh?
Tubes Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 I swear someone came on here before the Jako deal was signed claiming exactly the same? I dont see why Mandy would stop using Jako after so many years as a customer.
