Deano 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 When does our deals with Adidas and Northern Rock expire? Something tells me they are both up at the end of this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think the Northern Rock one is definitely up, but not too sure about Adidas. Certainly we will have the same kit next year, right? Weren't they talking about how only the sponsor would change due to the NR deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 If the Adidas deal is still current then the shirt will be the same only with a new sponsor instead of NR. Isnt there some law that thre shirt has to be the same for 2 seasons though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt there some law that thre shirt has to be the same for 2 seasons though? I used to think that although Chelsea managed to find a way to switch their home shirt after only one season. Pretty certain we've got more than this season with adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM4 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 From what I remember reading the current home kit is for this season only. Will be changed again this Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Just thinking wasnt the NR deal worth about 30mil? When we go up FMA will have that new sponsorship deal to look forward too aswell. Edited September 28, 2009 by Geordie Lad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Yeah NR 2010... Northern Rock has announced that it will continue to sponsor Newcastle United FC. The current deal is due to expire in 2010 and many had thought that with the Bank now under government ownership, that they would relinquish their deal with the Tyneside club. However Northern Rock executive chairman Ron Sandler told MP’s it was in the best interests of the bank to continue the sponsorship deal. Northern Rock will also continue to sponsor the Newcastle Falcons rugby side but has ended deals with county cricket clubs Middlesex and Durham. EDIT: Cant find anything on the Adidas deal.

Craig 6581 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 From what I remember reading the current home kit is for this season only. Will be changed again this Summer. That is correct. And now I think we know why that is.... from .COM: Media reports claiming that current kit supplier Adidas were among the front runners in the naming rights "race" have now been rubbished by an official Adidas press statement: "Following media speculation regarding Newcastle United and the naming rights for St, James' Park, Adidas can confirm that it has not been offered the naming rights to the stadium and would not wish to take the rights if they were offered. "Adidas remains committed to our long-term on-pitch partnership with the club." It's understood that a rival manufacturer is well-placed to acquire the kit rights from next season, which would be at odds with any "Adidas Arena" type branding. My money's on Lonsdale or some other cheap shitty brand that Ashley has bought over the years. I'd love us to go back to Umbro though and be part of the 'Tailored' range...

Tom 14000 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I would love Umbro. I doubt he would make the change to Lonsdale or Donnay because sales would decimate. When we had Asics it was different as the kits were nice and performance at least commanded respect. I wouldn't buy a cheap crap make like Lonsdale. If I recall correctly Ashley has ties with both Umbro and Nike although even if we weren't in the 'Tailored Range' something like West Broms kit would be an improvement.

I think people remember them with fondness because the design of them was simple, clean and traditional after the 'barcode' shirt that went before it.
