Pair that with gold shorts and it would have been up there with some of the all-timers in my opinion.

Big River Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 it's proper honking that some very questionable taste here bit like this all-time stinker (imo obviously) that was well received I think most people will just wear whatever shit the club put out, to be honest. I find the amount of Wonga / Ashley era shirts still in circulation at the match absolutely baffling. but each to their own I suppose! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I actually liked that, but it suffered from the pattern sheet problem, where they make a sheet of pattern, then cut out from that sheet all the different sized tops, so you get shirts where the pattern isn’t located in the exact same place. It does my fucking head in to be honest, especially when the promo pictures come out, and they have got ones where the pattern looks good, then you go to buy it and the pattern is under the arm pits, and behind the sponsor etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love for the kit in the next few years to reach the £100m mark Adidas - £45m Sela - £40m Noon - £15m Would put us in an unbelievable position.

Stifler Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 16 minutes ago, PauloGeordio said: Because we are elite! I and someone else touched on it yesterday. Adidas would need to sell 562,000 shirts of ours to break even on a £40m per year contract. When we were owned by Ashley we were still selling nearly 500,000 shirts per year. That is without all the other stuff we did well, and the stuff that we missed out on selling because Ashley never put it on sale. We now have ambitious owners, a team who are building well, and we are moving away from the tacky Wonga/Fun88 sponsors. It goes without saying that our merchandise is becoming more sought after, both here in Tyneside, the North East, and even internationally. Not many clubs can say that.

There are no rules to prevent people buying the shirts, and there is no reasonable and possibly lawful way you can check each shirt. That is also besides the fact that fakes are getting harder and harder to spot. Edited May 31 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between me and the immediate family, you’re looking at somewhere near 20 shirts. Under Ashley it would have been lucky to make it to 5. If the adidas training gear is good there will be loads more. Shows the shift in mindset that’ll no doubt be prevalent across loads of the fan base. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 They've also got access to a much more global market, and the logistics to back it up. £40m might be close to break even in year one, but presumably they're hoping they can be raking it in by years four and five.

FLUMPO235 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Isn’t it bigger than just merchandise sales though. They have adidas stamped on every shirt for advertising. They will have it behind every interview on the wall and plastered everywhere. I bet there is a big upswing of people who go on to buy adidas stuff instead of Nike or puma for other sports stuff just because of the association and having adidas in their mind. if advertising on football shirts work, they have bought into that too by being stamped on all shirts.
