Was in the club shop yesterday and they've taken delivery of a load of new Nike t-shirts etc and woman behind counter said it will be a Nike kit again next season.
Some home shirts reduced from £45 to £10 - but only size XXXL.
Calling Bhagwan Hardcastle . . . 😉

Adidas don’t make trainers to sell thousands though do they?! They make them to sell hundreds of thousands of each style and size. So the blue Chelsea one would probably do that and so would the Liverpool one. A North End one may reach a few thousand - they won’t even bother! They wouldn’t make enough money to make it worth their while.

Yes they do, all you have to remember is the city series they brought out a few years ago with Adidas Birmingham, Glasgow, Dublin, London and Manchester; only made 500 of every pair. They also make limited stock on other exclusive pairs in collab' (usually) with size? such as the recently released Adidas Dublins in the og c/w. St.Paddys day c/w and the Taiwanese c/w. Yes, Adidas do produce trainers in small quantities and it wouldn't be a shock if they would produce limited edition trainers for north end if they were making our kits and if we were in the premier league. Oh yeh, Adidas also produce trainers in collab' with businesses (these are called consortium exclusives) and depending on the size of the business, can create a limited 100 pairs ranging to thousands but its usually around 500 to 800.

West Brom were in the premier league this season and had Adidas kits, I’d be interested to see evidence of them having bespoke gazelles.

May not have wanted 'bespoke gazelles' or asked for them in the first place. Whereas, I'm sure if we asked them for 500 pairs of bespoke Adidas sambas or gazelles, then we would get them...it would be easy money and our fans would love it; Adidas have made trainers for el Salvador and Zaire (DROC) International football teams in the Adidas kick silhouette so I wouldn't be surprised if they would make bespoke trainers if we asked as it wouldn't just be north end fans buying them but also Adidas enthusiasts like myself. Also, I'm sure you would think that making trainers for north end would probably sell more than the trainers for Zaire even if its a country as there's not many Adidas collectors in Africa as a continent anyway, never mind just Zaire .They also cost more in Africa which would put more people off than in Europe and Uk as theyre cheaper here; especially PNE fans as we would also have a discount ( if a st holder) and therefore, more would buy them.
 
Adidas! Adidas! Adidas!

Until then, I won't spend a penny in the club shop.

Get Adidas in and it will be £100 minimum from myself. Plenty of people out there like myself regards this issue.

Do the maths North End.
 
Stuff the brands lets get back to a local, independent trader. These corporates already make enough off the gullible.
 
Everybody saying Adidas but personally I’d love Umbro. With the history of the club I’m sure we could persuade them to do a proper custom kit, a really smart retro one. Adidas would just be a template.

There’s much more pressing matters for TH to spend money on at PNE, such as the new ticketing system or squad strengthening, than sacking off lucrative kit deals and losing money for the sake of identity politics.
 
I really doubt the club care about shirt sales. There are circa 10,000 regular fans, and I imagine not more than 5,000 of them buy a shirt. If you’re being really generous let’s say half of them again buy an away shirt as well- 7,500 sales @ £40 = £300k of revenue. Given you then need to take the cost of the shirt, and the cost of the club staff off the revenue, I would be amazed if shirt sales are worth more than £75k for us. Which probably isn’t much less than we need to cover all the costs of the club kit and training gear... Hence why the club don’t care & outsource the whole lot.

You, and many others, are missing the point.

You have the hardcore who buy their shirts, season in, season out no matter who is producing it.

You then have a lot of people like myself who will only wear Adidas be it Trainers (I have Gazelles, Forest Hills and Superstars), casual retro t-shirts (I have White, Pink, Grey), Tracky Tops (I have Blue, Green - rare apparently the one I have - and a yellow NY Cosmos edition) and the usual other casual polo shirts / tshirts of which I own a few.

You underestimate the power of the Adidas brand. People like myself will spend money that currently isn't being spent at the Club Shop. Their call as to whether they want 3 figures off myself - and others - or not.

Well, putting any financial gain aside, the club really should care about shirt sales & getting the club colours seen around the Preston area. A quick walk around town on my dinner yesterday resulted in a few Man United & Liverpool shirts being on view.....and.....guess what..... not a single PNE shirt. The club should not limit the sale of kit to just online & the club shop. We should be seeing the kit available to buy via the local sport chains... Sports Direct, JD Sports etc. They need to extrapolate themselves from this over the barrel Just Sport deal & think big, promote the club throughout the city. We are the 25th placed team in English football after all

Ok. I wasn’t disagreeing with you, but just pointing out how little the club care about it. Even if they convince someone like you to buy £250 worth of gear, generating £60 profit, it’s still naff all to them cos we don’t have enough fans!

JD... I do get where you are coming from... BUT possibly with you being a similar age to myself, maybe we are obsessing too much over adidas. The reality is that kit manufactures we maybe should look at are the likes of Under Armour, who would attract (dare I say it) the younger market that we should be aiming for?
