MHFCROB24 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 saw some of last years Heart jerseys at rebel for 50 bucks over the weekend, down from 120 Wouldn't pay 5 dollars for them waste of space cause they are shite to wear. Turtle necks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Pints Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just get someone handy with a sewing machine to remove the turtle neck and put a normal collar on there. They look fine once this is done. Whoever came up with the idea of a turtle neck on a football jersey should be shot though. Or forced to watch us play every week. Dunno which option is worse at the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we'll eventually be sky blue, but the complete sky blue cap was a bit too much Can they be ordered on line? I'm not too sure to be honest. I doubt it as the bloke only just got them in yesterday. He said there is limited stock he has on hand. Not releasing much of these in bulk for some reason. how much? $50 each which is cheaper than say Rebel from what i remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadete Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I genuinely thought Lowes was clothes shop for fat povo people with a casual interest in Hawaiian shirts. It is also the Hugo Boss of Cessnock. This is a bit strange: NYC has announced that it will be wearing Adidas. http://www.nycfc.com/post/2014/11/10/new-york-city-fc-adds-adidas-official-partner Wonder what Manchester City's deal with Nike is and whether City will be changing to the three stripes in the near future, as well? The MLS signed a deal with Adidas to outfit all of its clubs... I am sure once this deal ends NYC will push for a change of policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this is a translated version but I have no doubt the conversation went like this CFG: "Hey David, wanna be paid a shitload to play for Manchester City?"

Villa: "Hmm, do they play in Adidas kits?" CFG: "Nah, it's Nike" Villa: "Forget it! I'll go to New York instead" i guess you dont understand the influence of Nike and Adidas Its is Adidas' interest to get a player sponsored by Adidias to play in Adidas. Fact is: Adidas pays above (bare in mind Adidas will supply Juventus and Man United) at clubs that have high level players sponsored by Nike. Real is one example. When you see Ronaldo in a Real top - you think Adidas. Nike did the reverse for Barca.

theresonlyonebzamora Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Look I agree with your sentiments about branding being important and that the brands themselves may try to get players to change clubs, but that's not really adding anything to your theory that VIlla is going to the MLS because of the kit maker. Do you think that article is accurate and not in any way fabricated because a journo was bored? I really don't think we're at the point yet where players move clubs because of branding. Sure, it's a money driven game but I would be surprised if branding had any more influence than playing style/intended playing style/lifestyle/culture and straight up cold hard cash. In Villa's case I would imagine that New York seemed like a good fit for all the reasons above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
