I reckon in a couple seasons we'll have different home kits each for the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League. With the amount of money they are paying us, they could pull anything really.
So this new kit deal then
- Thread starter Melvyn
- Start date
I'm surprised if we don't already have a much bigger fashion line to go with all the random stuff with the club badge on it.
Surely a range of t-shirts or whatever makes more sense than red wine or chips.
I wouldnt be surprised if not many would buy the Nike kits now but wait until next year. I'm sure Nike would have preferred to wait with the announcement as it is just a couple of days before the launch
Kits are recycled annually now anyway so it shouldn't make that much of a difference. But remember it was Nike who first announced the end of their association with United (probably due to the fact that they knew the Adidas deal was happening).
I still expect to see the usual amount of replica shirts around though, there is no real reason for anyone to not buy it unless they truly despise the design - assuming they want a replica shirt.

Backs up the rumours about Uniqlo being our casual kit supplier. This opens up a whole new (potentially frighteningly lucrative) revenue stream for the club.
Uniqlo (well Fast Retailing) has got a shit load of money and are growing hugely at the moment. It wouldn't surprise me that much.

What's up my soon-to-be-pink-kit-wearing-brothers? Adidas, eh?
Good news though I imagine, Adidas make some nice (not too revolutionary) kits, and the deal is a serious improvement on the previous Nike one.
Pink Devils has a nice ring to it too, don't you think?

Did he really say that? What a weird quote!
In DC there's a phenomenon whereby someone is considered an expert on a subject and used as a go-to person for quotes on a given topic without regard to the accuracy of his/her predictions.
That someone who has been consistently wrong on a topic is still referred to as an expert, I guess, doesn't only happen in the DC policy world.

Makes sense that, if we fail even more, they'll pull out when it comes to re-negotiations.
Really shouldn't happen so not to worry.
Expected really from Adidas, I doubt this clause would have even have been in the contract if last season didn't happen.
Well that goes directly against what united said "the contract guarantees a minimum of £750m over 10 years, subject to adjustments". What's his source for this "reveal"?
Must be a little clause hidden in the small print!
No real surprise, and hardly a worry. For a start, that would still be way more than anyone else in the world makes (which is quite amazing, to be honest).
And if we're still not in the CL two seasons from now, that'll be the very least of our worries.

Would these not be the adjustments it's subject to?
I guess so, I guess I was a little mislead by the minimum guarantee part. Yes I've just double checked, what he's said is indeed true, they would drop 30%.

Far more information on the deal in the Prospectus.
The minimum guarantee does not include payments for rights with respect to mono-branded licensing rights or the right to create and operate Manchester United branded soccer schools, physical retail channels and e-commerce retail channels, which rights may generate additional revenue for the club.
That is interesting. We have retained some rights in this agreement which i guess we may use later.

Time to spend big then. Wouldn't it be much better see 30% of the £750m (£225m) go on players that will improve our squad and chances of winning massively than losing it because we didn't spend enough and failed to qualify for Europe? I know which I'd prefer.

Whoever negotiated this, did an amazing job for us.
Absolutely. The deal seems to be extremely fair...especially for us, we should get CL spot for next season and if we do, can see us smashing out some fabulous signings in the future. Future is looking extremely bright.
No wonder why Moyes was sacked..
If true, then wow.
Very interesting read.
Anyone have any more? I think we'll see a major change to the retail side of the business in the coming years. United have always lagged behind the likes of Bayern in this regard.
What happens when Qatari Nitwear Inc sponsor the likes of City and PSG for stupid amounts to get around FFP?
I've read this several times but it still doesn't make any sense. So can Adidas not approach Liverpool and City then?
I assume that means adidas only. So more along the lines that if Madrid or Bayern negotiate a bigger deal, then United can match it if its valued greater than ours.
