It seems like Heck has bought us out of Fanatics deal and adidas are producing kit/merch for us - does this suggest we are going to be adidas elite class? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really big thing about that if it's true is that it means that we can re-establish the link between being a fan and buying things at the club shop. You'll remember those quaint old things like 'season ticket holder discount' and so on? Well, those are back on the table if the club shop becomes owned by Aston Villa rather than Fanatics. We might even finally see after years of utter pointlessness a use for Pride Reward Points. If it's true - it's great news. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike fanatics, excessive delivery charges and handling fees.. if this gets rid of them then that's a huge bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like Heck has bought us out of Fanatics deal and adidas are producing kit/merch for us - does this suggest we are going to be adidas elite class? Does that mean that extra shirt sales = extra revenue (rather than just more profit for Fanatics)? Although I've bought some pretty decent leisurewear (I think they've done a much better job of that than the kit designs) I've generally not been a fan of spending money on merchandise when the club isn't getting a slice of that cash. I also agree that Adidas have produced some pretty good stuff for Roma (which I also have some of) so I hope that our deal is on a similar basis. I'm actually quite excited about this deal (getting rid of both Castore and Fanatics and replacing them with a brand like Adidas) - it just feels like another step on the road for us partnering with major brands. I hope the news will be swiftly followed by an announcement that we've also extracted ourselves from our current main kit sponsor and replaced them with another "proper" brand that isn't an embarassment to our club.

OutByEaster? Posted January 10 Moderator Share Posted January 10 To be fair, at the moment we don't even know for sure that it's Adidas, let alone what the involvement of Fanatics will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on with the current regime it is going to be a further opportunity to rinse the fans with some more over priced tat.

Isn't there too much smoke out there for it to be pretty certain? It seems to be much more than just some random SM / Twitter rumours? Genuine questions as it's hard to get a feel for some of this from Italy! Edited January 10 by allani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus… a few people like Dan Bardell and Jacob Tanswell already knew about it… our very own @omariqy too… Just… those at the club haven’t revealed or announced it themselves yet… been keeping shtum recently… (badge fiasco) Edited January 10 by Jas10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, apparently it’s quite a lucrative deal too… despite how morally questionable it is… yet another matter on which the club ignored the fans, nothing new there… I was reading up on Liverpool’s move to Nike from New Balance yesterday… they went to court and managed to break their contract with NB and go with Nike… on the grounds and with the judge ruling that the Nike deal was more financially favourable to the club… surprising… I wonder if we could do something similar… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
