KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum New Balance deal confirmed

As a LFC shirt collector, I'm not thrilled at all that we're going to see NB for 6 more years. It's just like how we had crap reebok for 10 years before adidas came back briefly.

So from next season the shirt switches to warriors parent company new balance. Is it actually a new deal? As its the same companies shirts and there is already a 6 year deal running from 2012. Hence why no new figures are being reported

New Balance spending some of their marketing budget. Believe they're promoting some stories too about boots they've made for Kompany, Januzaj, Ramsey, Navas etc...

300 million pounds over six years...doubling the deal with Warrior basically.

Where did you guys get the 300m figure from?

Sources I've seen suggest it's an amendment to the existing arrangement with Warrior signed in 2012, with the 300M (Pounds not Dollars, as I mistakenly posted above) being based on the inclusion of "additional merchandising". Wouldn't read it as a straight forward £50M per year in the kitty.

NB has some of the best gear around - you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about on this one mighty.

They didn't apply that to those sh1tty leaked kits though did they?

Cool...think of all the luis alberto's we can buy!

Of the 3, I only like the white away one.

Besides the design, it's the quality that I have issues with. The Warrior range (a subsidiary of NB) used poor quality material for the shirts, probably to make up for the sponsorship paid to LFC. Reebok had pretty poor material too. Only Adidas used proper and thick material for their shirts, that's what I liked about it.

I hope to be proven wrong by NB but I'm not having high hopes.
