Fernando 6,585 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have friends that buy Chelsea jersey because of the look. They are not Chelsea fans but Arsenal, United and such. This is the good thing about our colors and jersey as to oppose ugly United, Arsenal and Liverpool jersey. And not to forget that blue tends to be a favorite color for a lot of people.

I think anyone other than Nike would lead to a perceived loss of stature in many people's eyes. I don't think it would be nearly as bad as some are predicting though. Liverpool were being ridiculed over Warrior, because people hate Liverpool. The same would happen to us. But if we were to get Under Armour and that season win the Premier League, I don't think people would perceive it as a loss in stature, especially when there's a possibility that we could be still be the top selling shirt in the country and have the largest kit contract.

I just think that the top of our sponsorship stretches further across the chest than the others. The top of the Chevrolet logo is probably in line with ours, it's just the bulk of the logo is further down than the bulk of ours. Same goes for the Jeep. The top of the J looks to be about the same height, it's just the rest of the logo is lower than the top. Think of it this way: If the Tyres was on top of Yokohama, our logo would look lower.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I find it surprising that adidas parted ways so easily, considering the sales (if those numbers are true, our kit sales went up by 39%). Anyway, another fun fact is that Under Armour EU representative is apparently ex-vitesse director. MichaelDance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Its also surprising how people are upset that 30m was so low. Only three clubs have better contract; United because they are global giant, Bayern also giant, but also german like adidas, and Real another giant. Barca has 28m year, Juve has up to 30m with bonuses, Psg 20m, City 15m. It has to be said Barca is about to renew with Nike rumoured worth up to 80m. Regardless, we were still pretty much on top. However, we have only ourselves to blame for accepting 10 year contract with no chance of renegotiating unlike other clubs. Our brilliant board strikes again. Seriously who the fuck is in charge of these things in our club?!? Despiadado.Maleante, kmk108 and LDN Blue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand value means a lot more than sometimes who pays the most. It's not like they're giving us peanuts.. I really hope we've got a deal with Nike already and they're just formalising everything. Not to mention the fact that no other brand has as much of a global reach compared to Adidas/Nike LDN Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vytis33 1,272 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Really hope it ends up being Nike. But wouldn't be surprised if Under Armor lands the deal. They're splashing a lot of cash around these days, took Notre Dame away from adidas for big money a couple years back. That was a massive signing for their brand.  Having said that...it's all about the Swoosh though!

kmk108 1,186 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Meanwhile, we've still got a season with Adidas left. The ladies debuted the new kit today. Like I figured, from a distance, you can't see the lions and it actually looks decent. http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/gemma-davison-of-chelsea-ladies-in-action-during-the-sse-womens-fa-picture-id531353468 Henrique and nachikethas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but we go on so much about 'big clubs' and what the benchmark ought to be, some fans do take interest in that. And yes the football side is clearly the most important thing, but there's more to a football club than that now. Associating with just giants in their own respective industries only does well to represent the Chelsea brand globally. The bigger we want to become, and thus keep achieving better by enticing world-class players, the more we want our reputation to enhance. And again, not saying just because we sign with Nike we'll sign Messi tomorrow (there's always one..) but its something to think about. You shake hands with the right people and they shake hands with better people.. Term-X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
