Adidas To Buy Reebok

[Anubis]

We should go 70's (not LFC 70's) and get the kit made by Admiral! Do they still exist? One day you're making the England kit, and the next you're history.

Whats the Reebok stadium going to be called?

"Formally known as" Reebok stadium?

 

Hello all.

[cochcaer]

Adidas have said the Reebok brand will remain in place.

[Red Nick]

Adidas have said the Reebok brand will remain in place.

 

i am sure it will but presumably where adidas have its strengh say football then the design and marketing of that product would be taken over by Adidas even if it had the reebok name on it, There will be an economy of scale ,in other words quite a lot of people will lose there jobs

Anyone remember Bukta from the 1970s? Quality.

 

Or how about a nice bit of le coq sportif

My first pair of footie boots were Bukta, about 1986...

Reebok are heavy into North American market with the NFL and NHL.

 

Kappa add at least a stone to your figure. For fat bastards like me, you cannot breathe in Kappa.

Everton were with Le Coq Sportif for about 3 or 4 years in the mid 80's, wore a Le Coq Sportif kit when we beat them in '86. They still make football kits but they are not as big a company as they once were so they make a lot of mediocre teams shirts (Wolves, Hibs, Sheff Utd)

 

Also made the Senegal top when Diouf and Diao came to fame....

British Knights.

 

Ascot.

 

Oh yeah.

ive got a real madrid shirt(last seasons) and the current Liverpool and 03/04 one and you can just see and feel the difference , Reals is far classier, our kit and reebok are poor quality, the bit round the neck looks like its been done on your mums sewing machine, what exactly is that for by the way? it looks crap just like the 03/04 shirt looked crap and cheap

 

Get Adidas in, if not them then Nike, i know its not really that important but it dosnt give the right impression, all the other big teams have Adidas or Nike where we are stuck down with Bolton & Aston Villa

Remember our Adidas kits from the early nineties though? They were crap in the extreme - those ones with the three diagonal stripes on the shoulder and shorts? Probably still worn by half the teams in eastern europe.

yeah i agree. most of our kits were shite under adidas. the 1st one or 2 were alright, but it was all downhill from there.

[Big Noel]

Argentina & Spain wore Le Coq at Mexico 86.

[Vincent Vega]

During the vast majority of our dominance in the 1970's up to the mid 80's our kits were made by umbro. They are the kits I remember with the most fondness and some of them were my favourite kits to this day. And they were a proper red colour.

 

Got to agree with the majority here though, our kits under Reebok have been crap.

[chorlton]

"kit made by Admiral"

 

That would rule, no way its ever gonna happen though, the england cricket tops (the cream one that is) rules - i still root for england at cricket, not arsed footy wise.

[Guest Gazmo25]

Never been fond of Admiral, seem to remember Man Utd fluking their way to the FA cup in Admiral in '77, cunts.

[drewy]

Was it Greenhoff running away after his goal with the worlds biggest Admiral motif on his horrible Manc shirt? Manc Twat.

Thats him, Cunt. As I put on an earlier thread I used to work in merchandising. Remember speaking to a buyer at our company who was a big Man City fan, Admiral tried to reinvent itself in the late 90's (started sponsoring Black Grape and things like that, did a range of polo shirts for England Hooligans as well) as a big retro brand in the same way that Puma did. He actually told the Admiral rep that our company would have fuck all to do with them due to them sponsoring Man Utd in the 70's. Think he also was allowed to do that on the basis that Admiral was shit then and it is shit now, should disapear into a hole with Bukta!

[drewy]

Bukta.... fuckin hell did they do soton in the mid 80's? I remeber a lad at West Derby Comp who had a Bukta top in games when he should of had the regulation blue with a shitty yellow band rugby top! I was dead envious didn't have the balls to rebel in those days.

I remember them sponsoring Palace when they beat us in the '90 SF, think they just disapeared after that. Going back to the main thread, my main gripe about Reebok is that it is not a football brand. IMO you have got Adidas, Puma and Umbro (Kappa at a push)

 

Also as well Drew, my ex (we're still good friends!) bought me the 1974 Cup Final recently and Newcastle are wearing Bukta that day. They come out in Purple Tracksuit tops with Gold Piping, similar to what Goldmember wore in Austin Powers 3...

 

 

Obviously in Purple rather than gold though.
