Craig 6682 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Wonder if we really are being ditched? Middlesbrough sign Adidas Kit deal Middlesbrough Football Club today announces adidas as new kit suppliers from summer 2009. The partnership will give adidas exclusive rights to provide all playing, training and replica kit over an initial four-year term. The first chance Boro supporters will have to see the result of the new partnership will be the launch of an exciting new training range in June, followed by the launch of a new-look 2009-10 home kit in July. Middlesbrough FC's Chief Operating Officer Neil Bausor said: "The club is delighted to be joining forces with a market-leading global sports brand. "The club has a history with adidas that dates back to the 1970s. Our new, long-term agreement enables us to work with adidas again to provide the playing staff and fans alike with product ranges that blend exceptional quality, design and technology. "We're confident the club's supporters will be delighted with the move to adidas and the new range." Gavin Thomson, Sales Director adidas UK and Ireland said: "Everyone at adidas is very excited about our new partnership with Middlesbrough Football Club. "Middlesbrough is a great club with a proud heritage and a loyal fan base. We look forward to a very rewarding and successful relationship for both parties.'' Our pictures show Gareth Southgate with adidas (UK) Ltd's sales development manager, Steve Holland. All replica kit will continue to be available exclusively via the MFC Official retail stores and online.

Guest Stevie Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I don't really buy many football tops, too old really, but I rate the England top as the best I've ever seen, no frills, it's just perfect, so I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiespaws 0 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I dont normally buy England tops so this wont make much difference to me. I think it looks crap tbh. My first impression was that it looked like a freebee polo shirt and I still think the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Don't like it, badge is set too high and the general look is too "polo shirt" Apparently the badge is set higher because on the previous shirt the stitching irritated the players nipples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30633 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 They haven't announced a new sponsor yet have they? And when they do I'd imagine they'd want their name to be a bit more prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I suppose there is retro as in the England shirt, as there's retro as in the Toffs series. Some things are left behind for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudi Telecom have been strongly suspected for some time. As for the size, Man United are one hell of advertising space. For the period this shirt is likely to be worn, I'd suspect a new sponsor to give a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Everton have gone all retro - back to their 1984/85 shirt: FWIW, I'd love to see us follow suit and produce something along the lines of the v-neck we had from 83-87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirt might be a fake but I think the design is correct for the away kit. Home kit is supposed to be the inverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Umbro shirt for the mackems (I thought they just had a new one?, looks like they nicked our collar too) New Walsall Admiral kits (nice to see Admiral making kits still, I have one they made for Huddersfield) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
