Leeds Adidas kit deal from the 2020/21 season? Whites to leave Kappa?

Leave a reply

Leeds United are reportedly very close to agreeing a deal with Adidas that will see the German manufacturer become the club’s new kit manufacturer. The Whites’ current deal with Kappa expires at the end of the current 2019/20 season (5 five year signed at the beginning of the 2015/16 one).

When the club was last present in the Premier League (2004), they wore Nike. They narrowly missed out on promotion in the 2018/19 Championship season, leading the table for most of the year before falling away in the final third of the season. As high as first in Week 32, Marcelo Bielsa’s men had to settle for third spot and were eventually knocked out by Frank Lampard’s Derby in the playoffs.

Leeds are currently second in the Championship, which would mean automatic promotion to the Premier League for 2020/21, should they manage to retain their position. The Whites’ fan base, plus potential PL status, would both be attractive to Adidas, who have never previously outfitted the club.

Liverpool and New Balance in court wrangle over potential new Nike deal

Leave a reply

Liverpool have confirmed that current kit partners New Balance have opened a legal dispute against the club. Although the Reds chose not to reveal further details, it is believed that the case pertains to their potential new deal with Nike.

The Reds’ current deal with New Balance ends at the end of the 19/20 season and they’ve reportedly been in negotiations with Nike, who are ready to strike a deal that rivals Manchester United’s £75m/season one with Adidas.

New Balance, who currently pay the Reds somewhere around £50m have a matching clause in their contract, and are ready to match Nike’s bid, but Liverpool believe that the latter’s superior distribution network makes them a more attractive kit partner.

Liverpool are probably at their strongest commercial position this decade, following their Champions League triumph last season. They’ve won six out of six in the new Premier League season and are already five points ahead of rivals Man City, who pipped them to the crown in 18/19.
