The Heineken Marketing bod didn’t even know that Adidas were reissuing a shirt with the Brown Ale logo on 

 

But the view was that it’s free advertising for a beer brand that they spend zero money promoting, so no downside for Heineken 

Well thanks for thinking of asking, man.

Cool. Feels like you've picked up homework here, but interesting

In this instance specifically, indeed, I see no reason for a Brown Ale to get in the way as there is so little downside if any. Just wonder how and if they could given different circumstances.

What are the dynamics of logo use on these sorts of releases then? Specifically the Brown Ale one here. 

I imagine Adidas can't just use it and flog gear just because that's what the shirt looked like back then so fair game. What is the structure of a deal? Can a Brown Ale veto a production? What kind of kickback do they get? 

Anyone have any insider info on that sort of stuff?

Anyway, feedback on this is pretty disappointing... Quality, design, sizing, no kids sizes and for the price. I see no reason to replace my DHgate one with this one, so I'm pondering other questions.

Wouldn't be surprised if that joined up type of lettering was consistent with match worn kits. That they had them ready to go for matches and they're also slightly more legible.

What was the deal with "Adidas" logo inside the numbers?

At first I thought that was a decent way to spot real/fake as it seems like in game it was never there, and for the replica kits... Well I haven't really looked into this thoroughly but seems just random.

I have an original Shearer home one bought back in the day in 96 and the number nine doesn't have Adidas inside it for example.

Agree, you should be able to score after an accidental handball. Guess it does make the decision easier and less controversial though. 

That's exactly what it is. A cop out to avoid having to think and deal with aggro.

The goal should definitely stand. 

It ticks all the law, and common sense boxes: Unintentional, arm and hand in natural position, ball kick into him. 

Also, from reading the above I find it stupid that it should matter who scores from it. As it states that if it had been Joe, of course handball and of course disallowed.

Either it's hand ball or not. And outcome shouldn't change that.

At least we've moved away from the simple, PSG-like, contact equals foul horror.

Madison never bursts into life and sprints as quickly as when he can jump into buying a foul. 

That incident at the end was pathetic.

He's such a prick.

And breathe.

Enjoy the weekend everyone

Looking at at least 12 mins here.

Yeah, it's going to keep dragging on with all these delays.

Just... Keep out the net!

Yellow? 

Fucking hell, Madison runs into him. Just desperate to get himself a free kick.

Complete joke.

Nah, not a pen for me, unfortunately.

Half time really did come at a bad time for us. As these have got more life in them again. 

No way 2 goals will be enough to win this.

Shame that one won't show up in the stats for him.

He's so dedicated to team's success, great to see this run from him.

Wonder why we have stopped.

Hopefully it's some meta game to start taking everyone by surprise at some point.

I've bought 5 from DHgate in the last couple of years... As I didn't know initially about how drastically you had to size up!

So the material, sizing and fit will be the crux of whether it's worth it all over again.

A kid's version would be amazing though.

Gets me every time that one 

So perfect 

Such a strange season. Delighted with this form and we've done really well to make the league table look interesting again.

But looking at that table, already a sense of "what if" as we could easily be 4 to 6 points better off without it being complete fantasy.

Here's to the journey.

Wonder when that was.

Such a warm and genuine smile from Ginola... so surely no way that was after Dalglish came in

Yeah, decent shift overall. Good effort as always from him.

More target practice needed though
