MrBlack Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 11 minutes ago, Keyblade said: Only for the very big clubs. Everyone else gets last year's templates. Look at Leicester and Leeds etc. Wolves somehow got a bespoke kit (from what I can tell) this season, but their last 2 were horribly derivative. Wonder if there is a cost element to it. Perhaps the club have to contribute to design costs if going for a unique offering. Can't imagine it would be material, but who knows in the world of football where everything is over inflated. Leeds and Wolves do have a single colour kit though, which lends itself to a template design. If the club are happy then why would they pay for a new design. Its not like they get confused with the other clubs kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they make more interesting shirts now than 10 years ago when Liverpool and Chelsea had the same exact shirt but for the color. Even though he is the biggest shareholder, Sawiris's stake is only only about 5% isn't it? I'd be surprised if he really gets that involved in stuff like this. Tbh I'd hate to have a boring Adidas kit. You could probably guess what it would look like before it comes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once coronavirus is over they will gradually climb back again. Chavs ain't gonna stop buying marl grey tracksuits now are they. I see the Adidas share price had nearly recovered to its pre pandemic price. I wonder how his fortune has recovered. I wouldn't be suprised if he bought more shares whilst the price was low.

Dave-R Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I tell you what I'd love to have these smart advisors who advise NSWE that they will make a fortune, they seem to just get everything right like theres a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow everytime. NSWE must have alot of smart people like advisors for advisors for advisors for advisors for advisors for advisors who are for advisors who then in turn advise the main men, one heck of an headache but if can get through it all the money is there.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
