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.

This. Totally.

I bet you look like Adolf Dassler has thrown up on you!
😀

To be fair I quite like the under armour kits Tottenham have had in the past, but I know we would just have a carbon copy of that.

I stop at tracky bottoms, they only come into use when I have to decorate! 😀

I do wear other items like Ben Sherman, Lyle and Scott, Ted Baker, Ecko, Fred Perry, etc. 😀

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!

Let's just shut the club shop down then, eh?

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?

Probably right. An age thing. My lads both wear a lot of under armour stuff these days, trainers are always Nike, but neither would be seen dead in adidas these days. Luckily, I get to nab all the adidas stuff that they'll no longer wear!
 
I'm about the only person I know other than Mike Skinner that wears nothing but Reebok Classics.

I get the whole Adidas thing but their footwear is bloody uncomfortable

And who pays the bills/tickets/refreshments for Deepdale? Us lot or our kids? ADIDAS would bring in a fortune for the club mate.

yawn to nike again, another season won't be buying kit again

cmon PNE - Adidas or Umbro are what we want.

Absolutely correct. I can't buy one, but not because I don't want to I am over 50 and have a VFB size. Adidas and Umbro sizes than s-4xL. In fact the NIKE XXL is more lIke an XL.

Last year I bought an away shirt (dark blue with the 888 symbol) and it fit no problem. I could only get into the white home shirt or the yellow away shirt with a shoe horn they where so tight. I was told by the shop that the blue shirts are made by another supplier who use a more comfortable fit and size structure for the European Market. (Nike maybe made in China with their sizes).

This year I bought a retro white colloroll shirt (my old one is lost) in XXL and it fit fine.

So yes I would buy a home and away shirt every year if they fit comfortably and did not make me look like a fatter tw+t than I already am.🙂🙂

Strange that because I always find their footwear really comfortable.... although I find you need to go up one size from your usual for some reason!

You should get a pair of Slides then. They'd prove you wrong. Not that I'd wear them to matches instead of my Adidas Tahitis.

I'd disagree. Too many Kids wouldn't want it. I'm certainly no fashion expert but The shop would not tailor its stock to satisfy a small group of fifty-something, thirty years-out-of-date Ian Brown wannabees.

Fair point.

I think I am still a 90s kid aged mid 20s still 😀

The kids wouldn't be spending the 40 odd year olds would!
