TBG Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Silverstone doesn't deserve any credit until he works out a solution for guaranteeing hundreds of billions fans access to less than 10,000 match day tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the amount of Wonga / Ashley era shirts still in circulation at the match absolutely baffling. but each to their own I suppose! Probably one of my all time favorite away kits that, think its class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucasol Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 24 minutes ago, Stifler said: 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. 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.

Agreed. Not going to buy Nike, Puma or New Balance gear. Allegiance well and truly to the 3 Stripes and Trefoil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mates done a load of drone footage for the club in the past including Bruno's gender reveal party last year. Anyway he put a clip on of Adidas stuff saying one week to go yesterday so not sure if the actual launch is the 7th or what as it's clearly work for the club. Would have expected 7th to be release day and a launch before that Edit: looks like all in one like jack says Edited June 1 by Fezzle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I'd be extremely disappointed if today was the day. We're now 8 hours into a 24 hour day and Adidas still hasn't posted anything. Would be a worrying sign of just how committed they are to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
