The recent Arsenal templates have been solid so reasons for optimism there. Forgot they did their kits for a bit. They didn’t look too great bar a couple. That said, Adidas have defo improved designs over the last decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very difficult to believe that the biggest shareholder at Adidas was unable to get any kind of deal done then Heck arrives and kicks down the Adidas door. I'd bet we've been waiting for Villa to hit the kind if level that allows us to get big deals with the likes of Adidas before trying to bag a deal. No point in taking scraps from them where we were down the bottom end of the PL. If Newcastle are on £30-£40m why on earth wouldn't we get those kind of levels? CL will have influenced it… but they should envisage us being at that level now or qualifying for it too… Nothing to suggest that Newcastle will quickly get back there, at least in terms of qualifying for it again this season, after getting knocked out… and other clubs performing better in the PL… I won’t bother going into Saudi influence and riches/funds… So yeah… I’m hoping for a comparable deal. And we have Unai Emery… Edited January 9 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Pretty sure Adidas have made kits for small heath, Wolves, and West Brom recently, having them as our kit supplier isn't some indicator in of itself that we're some elite team already. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as people enjoy the kits, but for it to be some major deal as some are framing it as, we need them to be giving us some great money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a tiered deal standard 15 million per season. 20 for Conference 25 Europa and 30 for Champions League. Sensible from both parties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated in another post in this thread, the teams you’ve mentioned only receive “standard” treatment. Basic templates, not a lot of money and only sold in national markets. If we’ve landed an “Elite” role it’s a whole different kettle of fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Think the very top tier sides get the full Adidas treatment due to being champions League regulars, which make ait weird that one season wonders Newcastle have got it. I presume being a one club city and the Saudi / middle eastern market and revenue from that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
