I am talking about Nike, Under Armor or whatever. Not Yokohama

Well we don't know so they are guessing and saying what they would like.

Wow, it's as if saying that if you don't have a contract with Adidas or Nike, you are nobody. I sincerely don't care who is the sponsor as long as he makes good kits.

And good money.

If we are paying adidas compensation for pulled out of the kit deal with adidas the fans should boycott buying the kit this season cause we filling adidas pockets with money

Jesus christ, we're literally following the footsteps of Arsenal & Liverpool when they lost Adidas & Nike. Look around Europe!!... Look!, apart from a freak season it's Nike or Adidas winning the league. BRAND POWER, if your club is aligned with those brands.. you're the elite. When they want you, you're doing something right.

WTF, Chelsea kicked Adidas out and you don't dare to think they didn't so having a new big Brand behind? I would bet on Nike ore some crazy NFL-Kit-Producer spending big to get into european football. Would love Umbro though... for some vintage reason would love that... and Umbro belongs to Nike afaik.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Nike or bust, really.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Seen it in the flesh for the first time today....Really do not like it at all.

[Steve 10,227]

Would love Puma kits. Love the fit of the Italy kits I own and they make a lot of nice kits!

 

[Pizy 18,404]

Id be delighted with Nike. Especially as an American who has always grown up wearing the brand.

Under Armor wouldn't be too terrible, though they make ugly ass kits, but if the money is crazy that's all that matters. They used to be kind of a joke here but they now have some of the biggest American athletes representing them like Steph Curry (world's best basketball player) Jordan Speith (world's best golfer) Tom Brady (world's best American football player) and Bryce Harper (world's best baseball player).

They're the real deal now.

Nike makes the NFL's uniforms

 

Nike sold Umbro off a few years ago after taking a few of the teams.

Switching to ANY other brand other than Nike will symbolise the decline of this club, like leaving Adidas did for liverpool.

As I said, 'marketing 101'/'branding 101', having the status symbol of Nike or Adidas in European football is paramount for our 'top club' image.

While I agree that Nike and adidas have special power, I cant agree with liverpool comparisson. 

They are shit because their team is shit because their board is incompetent. Not because they switched to different kits. After all they had reebook for some time and were successful. 

I dont like UA in football world, but I can assure you they are pushing to become on same level as nike and adidas and they probably will become huge. Right now they are already big in Usa but their international plans are big. Just look at their CEO plans. Kinda similar to phone market. Samsung, sony, lg etc...apple was a thing in usa back then. Now eu is one of apple biggest markets. 

Anyway you look, UA will be huge in 5-10 yrs in european football. If we get them it it wont mean we will become lesser club because of that. Results will show that. But UA make some ugly kit designs indeed.

If we get Nike or Umbro I will be happy because they make much nicer kits

No, they are not the real deal.. Adidas & Nike are immovable, they are part of the culture of european football. It's an impossible task, and it certainly won't play out like that for Chelsea.

"oh well, it's more money, that's all that matters'' - Marketing is more valuable than getting £20m extra on a contract, for the Chelsea brand to be with anyone other kit manufacturer other than Nike right now is the worst thing that can happen to the clubs image.

 

.....

Man-utd (biggest club in history) - Adidas

Real Madrid (biggest club ever) - Adidas

Barce-fucking-lona - Nike

Bayern-fuckng-Munich (kings of germany - Adidas

Juventus (only club in italy) - Adidas

Man-City - Nike

PSG - Nike

Lionel-fucking-Messi - Adidas

Ronal-fucking-do - Nike

As I said, I'd prefer and hope it's Nike.

Chelsea want at least £50m a year from new kit sponsor after parting from adidas

.....

Nike would be prepared to pay that but, intriguingly, are close to agreeing a shirt deal with Spurs from the start of the 2017-18 season when they could be sharing Wembley as a home ground with Chelsea.

The other possibilities are Japanese firm Uniqlo, to complement the £40m-a-year shirt sponsorship with Yokohama, or Li Ning from football boom country China.

 

[Term-X 7,891]

^ The news Tottenham might be getting Nike is both sign of the times and depressing as fuck.

Them switching from under Armour from Nike should tell us enough about our status. There is no higher prestige than being Nike or Adidas in european football and it will forever be like that.

You are a small club who aims only to merely 'challenge' the top sides if you don't have a swoosh tick on your shirt or 3 stripes on your sleeves.

You do know that these clubs became big because of the results, not because of their kit suppliers, right?

Its not all black and white. Sure prestige plays big part, but if we win CL with lets say UA and dominate football like Barca, you think we will be any less respected because we would wear UA? Its the results that will make us popular or not, its the results that will make us ELITE not fucking kit supplier.

In ten years from now UA could be on par with adidas and nike and if we are the ones that will truly break through market for UA in european football, so be it. It could lead to great opportunity.
