Kits 23/24

[AV84]

Guessing we'll play 1 game in a special kit next season, a but like Man United did with their Munich Disaster homage.

This is most likely. There'll be a normal home kit, probably with that 150 logo thing on it somewhere, and then we'll play a one off game in a retro style anniversary kit. That's how most clubs have done it lately.

If we do go for a one-off kit, do the black one with the massive lion on the front. The red lion though, not the sweaties badge.

I still think we should try and get Peugeot to sponsor us so we can have 2 lions all the time.

Apparently Adidas bringing back that Trefoil logo next year.

Oh, that would be amazing.

Such a fantastic piece of design... 👌

Juventus 120th Anniversary

Why do Juve have the Pantofola d'Oro logo on it? 🤨😂

[Hookeysmith]

I guess this is what attracts the bigger sponsors - being a Champs league team and the exposure it gives their brand

Good call.

We should knick their new badge as well, pisses over our effort.

Hmmm, how about Singha Beer or MGM?

When all this rebranding started, I expected, not that I wanted, something just like that. Instead we went with their 1970 - 1975 badge here.

They turned their lion around in the early 20th century too.

Just read an article from last year about Adidas kit deals. It suggests the following values;

Real Madrid - £94m / year (2019)
Man United - £75m / year (2015)
Bayern Munich - £43m / year (2015)
Juventus - £35m / year (2018)

https://topsoccerblog.com/soccer-teams-sponsored-by-adidas/#:~:text=Adidas%20has%20a%20pyramid%20of%20football%20sponsorship%20with,that%20involves%20Ajax%2C%20Besiktas%2C%20River%20Plate%2C%20and%20Flamengo.

Interesting how low the Bayern and Juv deals are considering Newcastle are reportedly getting £40m a year. But then these deals were done a while ago and you'd argue would be higher if they renewed now.

Adidas seem to favour long-term deals, often ten-years, so will be interesting how long ours is.

[AV84]

Man Utd renewed their deal with Adidas last year. £900mil over 10 years. But, there are stipulations, apparently, with something like 30% less if they have 2 consecutive years out of the Champions League.

I've seen people talk about Blues previously having Adidas and so it can't be too much of a coup for us to get a deal with them.

But if we look at their current deal with Nike, it shows the different levels of kit supply. Blues' Nike deal is actually with a company called Just Sport Group. Just Sport are a Nike partner and they source plain kits from Nike (as well as manufacturing some of their own items) and apply the badges and sponsorship to them.

In Blues' case they also run their club shop and also apparently don't believe in SSL certificates.

So this is a very different deal to clubs who do deals directly with the manufacturer. They're basically adding their logo to off-the-shelf kits and selling them on with a mark-up, or letting Just Sport sell them on with a mark up while the club take a per unit royalty.

Re-configuring a logo/brand incorporating a Lion just means turning it around doesn't it?   Making it look a bit more/less fierce/hard/cool is optional. Easy job.

It's understandable Newcastle receiving more money, they're a shirt sellers dream as pretty much all their fans no matter the age only own one shirt, a Newcastle shirt and wear it every day.

Great idea Lee.
It would certainly take the eye!

there's 4 in a row from 1975-2010 that are closer to the sort of thing I'd like. A very simple line art style lion (I know the last 2 filled it in and added shading but it's fundamentally the same shape) that hits both key things for me:

1. it's a lion rampant
2. it's unique to be obviously peugeot, even if you remove the text

I really wanted either of these reviews to lead to something like that and I find it a bit sad that neither has even tried.

I'd be up for that. The nearest we got to a big Lion on the shirt was the away yellow one, 1990? which had a big ghosted Lion/badge across the front.  A Black shirt with just a big Lion in Red would be the dogs...
