I'm sure the same whiny bastards who hate our club already i.e. no one whose opinion Adidas nor the club should be making business decisions based on. Besides, i can't imagine this whole Elite = Trefoil business is as rigid as everyone implies. Can't be arsed to search up who but I think there's been clubs that aren't full on 'Elite' but near enough get treated as such by Adidas in their own regions. If Adidas want to make an exception because they know the money they'd be leaving on the table otherwise, they'll make an exception. Hell, they'll probably just make an extra 'tier' to account for it if they really don't want to throw us in the proper 'Elite' one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive googled it a few times and there does seem to be something to this tiers and elite nonsense. But as you say I bet it’s not as rigid as the internet adidas fanboys want it to be. nufc: hey really looking forward to this mutually beneficial deal. what can you do in a long sleeve? adidas: can’t do any. nufc: but we are the most Northern team in the PL and play half our games at home during winter, most of our players are from abroad. adidas: yeah sorry, you’re not elite. nufc: ffs, ok let’s look at some potential designs. adidas: yeah, i mean we can give you a template we already use. Nufc: ffs, ok home about some retro training gear, just some classic designs adidas: nope, elite a++ tier only nufc: you could literally just stick some print on badges in something you already make, like one of your templates! adidas: no chance, we would rather not make the money nufc: ok, what about some pencil cases adidas: you can’t have them, but we could do some of our template white pencils. nufc: ok send over the pen and pencils adidas: we said pencils, pens are for tier 2 and have to be amortalised over the length of the contract divided by ffp x tier group… you have 1 pencil sharpener design with adidas written on, no logo. No wonder the shit show that is castore have been able to hoover up so many contracts for shirts and kits Anyway, most of the adidas fanboys are saying we are elite tier so shouldn’t matter anyway.

GavMcEl Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Tbf they've produced loads of Leeds leisurewear with the Trefoil logo and they're deffo not elite, so might not be on one of the kits, but I'm sure we'll get loads of training/leisurewear with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BASTARDS!!!! God forbid if we were actually given what everyone wanted. Footy headlines have been reporting it for a while, it’s where the rumour first started. For what it’s worth, in a previous article they have said that we will get a 4th shirt and our 4th shirt may have the trefoil and retro club badge.

Novocastrian Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 We’ve never had an Adidas kit with a trefoil on it so who gives a fuck? I’m more interested in replacing my 8 year old bobble hat with something decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Am I missing something, and I have no particular interest in this subject (well, a passing one, I guess) but how come 'footy headlines' are getting treated as having some sort of legitimacy on anything? Aren't they one of these 'two teenagers in dad's spare bedroom' operations? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just using us as an example, they first broke the news about us switching from Puma to Castore, and from Castore to Adidas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get things right from kit and sponsorship deals, to colour themes, and designs. They also aggregate official news as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas released a couple of 'Adidas Originals' designs including the trefoil, the t-shirt occasionally can be seen on ebay but there was also a very rare black and white stripes shirt released. Ill dig out a photo of my home shirt later. EDIT Found a photo of it i'd posted on here before Edited April 6 by geordie_b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I do think it looks better, but I’d just be happy if the stripes don’t have patching and other dodgy colours on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
