KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Addidas & Jersey Deal

Love the yellow kits - my 4 year old has one and is easy to spot when he is playing.

Think this is a consideration for the players also (remember the sc*m against Southampton changing their strip at half time?

can you get it from ebay?

I think this problem isn't big in England, but abroad. International supporters don't always choose between for instance Arsenal or LFC (2 PL clubs) but perhaps between Barcelona and LFC. If our kit can't be found in the shop, then it's a done deal that we've lost a supporter! [/quote]

Just to play Devil's Advocate though, do we really want to have a supporter who chooses his loyalties based on what shirt is down at the local shop? Is that not the definition of plastic?

Warrior seems to be mortgaging their future on us, which I think says a lot. And, in any event, I've also used Warrior stuff for lacrosse and the quality is excellent. As long as they don't try to American-ify the shirt designs, we'll be fine. The mock-ups probably aren't official by any stretch, but I think Warrior would stick to that type of conservative design, at least initially, so as not to step on any toes.

20 years ago I would have said no we don't we want real loyal supporters. All that went down the drain all that matters now is they fork out the money on expensive match tickets, merchandise and subsciptions. Which is I am getting more and more disinterested in the game and I look forward to the day when I am a plastic fan too.

If it's double the shillings Adidas were prepared to offer it is finally shrewd merchandise business and Adidas haven't done us a right decent kit for years anyway.

However, I don't care how good the so say quality is of this Warrior stuff is- these days that's not hard. To say I am a little concerned they will come up with some American styled monstrosity is an understatement.

It's LFC not some BS Lacrosse garbage or hockey superman replica team. If it's quite clear they haven't done their homework I hope it's fu**ed back to them quick smart for a redesign.

I think I'd have to agree with that. It's certainly not a point of pride having fans that flip-flop between clubs based on which way the wind is blowing, but if they pay for transfers, wages, etc., you have to be pragmatic about it and realize that to a certain extent it's a business like any other. And as a business deal, this kit sponsorship is pretty shrewd.

I dont think the indian ebay will have it , the only way probably would be to get it of the lfc site , its be like £50 for the shirt and £25 o 30 for shipping plus import duty its gona be mad , until china steps in and starts making the replicas coz they spread very fast in india :P.
