Don't care what the shirt looks like as long as they get the I & T in United on the crest right.

You have to obtain Elite status before you get the trefoil. I think it would be controversial if we were positioned with the adidas elite after this season.

They've already confirmed it haven't they?

Negative. The 'Footy Headlines' website claimed we had been but theres been no actual evidence yet.

Isn’t the deal meant to be worth around £40m a year? If so, surely that’s a hint to show we’d be on the elite list and not lower down?

Controversial with who, though?  Who really gives a shite?

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. :lol:

 

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.

I honestly share the same view - I just thought if it was possible to top me last shit post and I think I might have did it.

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.

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

Footy Headlines reporting the same thing, no trefolil this year. 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.

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?
