villa4europe Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 It's mad that Adidas don't do a retro range with the trefoil logo They'd sell like hot cakes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The Fluminense strip always bothered me. Inoffensive Adidas kits but I don't like the middle badge look. We've had some bad shirts over the years, so I'd welcome Adidas as long as they do a custom Villa ensemble. But all signs point to Castore, which I'm also fine with. Just no more Kappa please!

Maybe "we" would buy it. But maybe a sterotypical 15 year old Chinese kid who plays FIFA wouldn't, and I guess that's where the money is. I can't see any other reason. @NurembergVillan why dont adidas want to hit the bullseye when it's so obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a retro range for their bigger clubs Arsenal/Utd have an Originals line every year with back catalogue stuff. Sticking a Trefoil on modern gear would sully the brand.

villa4europe Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 That's the weird thing they do the retro shirts for arsenal from the 90s but they've changed the trefoil logo to the new one, I'm sure boca is the same It probably is something to do with stronger brand identification or some nonsense like that but the trefoil logo has a value which I think they're underestimating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 It might also be a good time for Nike to recycle the old '90' brand. I think enough time has passed for it to become 'cool' again and some savvy marketing can be done there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig's a big advocate of them bringing it back, but it's definitely a brand identity thing and the Trefoil now denotes a particular category for them. From what I've heard the logo will change for next season to remove the Adidas wording and make the triangular element larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'I've got an idea guys, how about a green T-shirt with matching shorts?' 'Nice one, see at the bar in 10'. Ironically, at least when I was in Nuremberg, the Adidas footy designers would mostly drink in an Irish bar called O'Shea's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
