Interpolic Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Nike wouldn't do it either, it's a complete non-starter. What are people going off when presuming Puma are making our kits next year, solely the Llambias quotes saying he needed to let Puma know about shirt sponsorship by a certain time? Haven't seen anything official that we're going beyond the initial 2 years. Not that I believe Nike are interested mind, was just wondering why we're presuming it's Puma.

Dave Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Wonder if there's one of those ludicrous rules in place about interested parties having to buy a box or similar to even open negotiations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Regarding the Nike rumour, like some people have said, can't see Nike sponsoring our shirt going down too well with Puma.

People Sport understands that the firm’s world-famous swoosh trademark could be adorning Newcastle United’s old stadium and the team’s shirts in time for Christmas as part of a potential five-year agreement.

indi Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Do Nike actually use the word Nike in their promotional stuff much nowadays, all I ever see is the swoosh thing? Seems kinda pointless for a brand based around a symbol to invest in a purely word-based form of promotion. Perhaps it'll end up being known as TSFKASJP, a la Prince?

David28 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Think if there's anything in it with the Nike sponsorship package than there's no way that they won't make our shirts from next season on. No way at all that we will have Nike on a Puma (or whatever) brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Just call it St. James Park with a swoosh instead of the J. Great idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell Boi Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 So pressuming the name of the stadium is changed again, all of the Sports Direct signs will come down to be replaced, correct? If that's the case why have they changed the font on the East Stand to match the Sports Direct italic? Would that be replaced again? Shit like that makes me think it won't be changing names again for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Would love to see Nike make our kits like. I think its no secret to anyone that they would make class kits and training gear for us. No idea how Nike would ever be as a sponser of a club too - have 2 Nike logos on a kit? That sounds like something Nike would never do from a corp branding standpoint, thats just too tacky for them in my opinion. In a perfect world, Nike comes in. Reverts the stadium name, put plasters their Nike logo and slogans all over the stadium (which I'd take over SD any day) and then on the Kit - simple black and white stripes, classic style kit - with no sponser - or they stick on a sponser of a charity they support or hell, cheekily work with SBR foundation. Their kit sales, through-the-roof if they do that - would be simple-stupid brilliant marketing. But that stuff made for dreams. Imagine it will stick with Puma, with possibly Virgin Money on it until the end of the season and we end up with Puma making our kit with the fat man's comapny all over it.

True but it would be even more tacky/fucked up if we were still manufactured by Puma but Nike were our shirt sponsor, so it would have both Nike and Puma logos on it? Another thing I just can't see happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 If Nike would do both (shirt and shirt sponsor) they'd probably do some slogan like 'just do it' in the 'Nike art' on it. Could be very decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 and very imaginary Nike didn't want our shirts two years ago (or whenever the Puma deal was first signed), why would they want it now? Along with shirt sponsorship and stadium rights? It just doesn't make any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
