Get a pair of these too to go with the new threads.

150th year. Wouldn’t it be good to have the shirt ready by the start of the summer holidays?

As I understand it, the kits will be unveiled in the spring. I think it was mentioned in that infamous Heck interview.

I don't like a collar

Same here, not a fan of collars on kits.

Me neither.

I don’t like having to wear a collar either. It was bad enough being chipped.

Telegraph reporting its Adidas.

That is fabulous news.

Well done Sawiris & Heck for getting us out of the previous deal & into this one.

Tbh, with Sawiris 6% in adidas, it was always on the cards.

But great to get it over the line...

The Athletic mentions Mr. Heck;

“ The impending switch — secured by the club’s president of business operations, Chris Heck — follows complaints from playing staff about this season’s ‘wet-look’ Castore shirt.”

I would imagine that Heck would have had a large hand in getting us out of the Castore deal.

Talking to Sawiris about getting adidas shouldn't have been a difficult conversation though, lol.

But without cancelling Castore, adidas doesn't happen, so I would say, fair play for that...

It makes me wonder how good that round badge we have now would look on an Adidas kit.

Without wanting to be a dick, surely it cant be too hard to have got out of the Catore deal.  I.e. they failed to provide on the most basic of brief - i.e. a wearable shirt.

That was my point earlier. It wasn't just about the new partner which is no doubt helped by Nas. It's also getting out of the old.- Heck in his role would have been very involved in the details of this.
