Puma - £650M shirt deal confirmed

[Tim of the Oak]

It has nothing to do with sales, it's all about advertising the brand and as we're one of the most watched clubs in the world we are hot property

It’s both

I’d love this in white and maroon.

Staff at the club are on strict orders to keep quiet but it is Puma, 100 percent.

£300m over five years.

As we saw this week with Pep wearing his Puma jacket nod, the drip of info will perhaps loosen up once the Christmas shopping window is all done.

Love Puma, their trainers and retro stuff are the best in the business.

Thanks. Very significant deal.

I’ve always worn Adidas trainers. Occasionally Nike. Skintight Puma vests seem popular with the Polish gentlemen around here.

Are you excited as it is the biggest kit deal in the clubs entire history - no
Are you excited because a football top will now match your trainers -yes

I like this

The second if I'm being honest

Do you think that Nike is going to want to lose billions in sales of T-shirts ?, I love City, but I assume that we are not a beloved club in the world, rather we are a very envied club and we do not have the amount of followers that it has Real Madrid, Barcelona, United, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc, We are in a good football moment but that is not the most important thing for a sports brand that seeks to profit through us.

Decades of success v ten years or so. There’s a reason we’re not yet as valuable.

Nike chose to go with Chelsea - I hope they good exposure in the Europa League.

Chelsea has more followers than us in the world there is the explanation.

 

[peoffrey]

Chelsea have double the amount of Twitter followers than we do!

Perhaps the people who run the club are tired of Nike and there's some falling out that's happened, such as, as we became more successful we asked for increased sponsorship and Nike refused
All speculative of course
