Where is the Adidas Kit Money, John? Oh wait!

It’s about time someone rename this thread.

Apparently due to a legal obligation the new kit wont be out until Aug 1st and we have to wear Nike in pre-season.

I’ve noticed the Adidas logo is almost the same size as the badge on a lot of their current kits, which looks shit. Still, better to be involved with a European company, as said above, but I’d rather we found something more interesting. Homogeny is king when it comes to the modern kits, I suppose.

Will be interesting as now the 3 biggest clubs in England, besides from having the same main colour, have the same manufacturer. Let’s see how original they are. But I’m glad we’re back with Adidas. The club is about to get more money from me again (NB era was the last time), since I’m not a Nike guy.

Hate Bayern but jealous of the special edition kits provides them with every season.

Assume we will get the same. Maybe a PL champions edition jersey.

Doubt it, next season’s kit must be done and dusted for months now…

This is for Bayern’s 125th anniversary.

Maybe we get our next special one when we’re 150 years old, but who knows who will be our manufacturer then.

For me, it’s never been natural for Nike to manufacture Liverpool kits, while Adidas were manufacturing Man United kits. Hopefully this restores the cosmic balance - and I’d really be happy if Liverpool won PL and/or CL in an Adidas kit since they only won League Cup during their previous spell together.

So basically what you are saying is when Adidas make our kits we are shit.

They also get a special Oktoberfest jersey every season which is usually pretty nice.

Apparently its a carry over from 2020 covid when the New Balance deal was extended by a month to allow that kit to be worn for the remainder of that season.

What is this information that we’ll start pre-season wearing Nike because the Adidas deal really kicks in on August 1st?

Speaking of that, it’s unusual that it’s March and there hasn’t been an announcement yet where our pre-season will be.

Year without WC/EC also, hopefully a good summer for us.

I was non-existent or a baby/toddler back then. :slight_smile:

As long as the Liverpool kit isn’t a rip off of the Bayern kit.

As long as we are Adidas or Umbro I’m happy. Those were the classic kits.
Reebok, Ecru aside, were awful.
Warrior were odd with their - we come not to play - motto and bizarre away kits.
New Balance did some lovely kits and they really surprised me.
Nike have had a few nice ones - really like the Black away ones.
Adidas is a perfect fit for us.

We don’t know if they are perfect fit to be honest.

Though if we can revisit that gold kit I’ll forgive them. I actually think New Balance delivered the goods more than any.
