A-league Strips

[Jesus]

The Reebok deal ends this season doesnt it?

I have heard that nike will be the new strip suppliers?

Has anyone heard this? Or how much the kit deal is worth?

There was a long time ago a story on the CCM or HAL website talking about the new away kits for last year where the marketing manager at Reebok was quoted talking about a 5 year exclusive deal. Most things were sorted out at the beginning of the league with 5 year exclusive deals - cities, gear, venues etc.

This doesn't mean they can't be broken by mutual agreement or whatnot - the Victory moving stadia is the best example - so if someone desperately wants to buy Reebok out of a contract that probably isn't worth all that much (or more correctly, buy the FFA out of their contract with Reebok) then they probably could.

I've heard rumours about Nike, but nothing more than rumours. Certainly no length of new contracts nor dollar sums.

Roger that. Heard from someone Reeboks deal was only 3 years, though i had thought it was 5

 

[northernspirit]

im pretty sure its 5 too
i dont mind the RBK ones although ive always found nike a better quality overall

the WC jerseys are clarsh - the most comfy jersey i've ever put on - light and breezy. playing in those would have been lovely. as a supporter you'd be wearing an undershirt unless it was midsummer.

The new Nike footballeroo shirts looked brilliant too. The blue away one is great.

I dont mind our jersey at all, but rebook need to actually have some variation between teams

Yep. The plainer ones (eg. Adelaide, basically all red) look quite classy by comparison when everyone else has similar patterns of sleeves & shorts that contrast the torso and socks.
Some variation in the patterns between teams is definitely needed.

That QLD strip is just orrible - they must want to change it at the 1st opp

i think qld has image issues
theyre clearly trying to get more maroon in there for the locals, but with orange and white it looks awful!

My parents were watching the Syd vs Qld game on Friday night, and after about 15 minutes into the game, my Mum goes "Who on earth decided to combine Orange with Maroon?". I was glad it wasn't just me who found it horrible!!

Alos, when QLD play Adelaide...its a big confusing when watching it on a screen where the colour isn't great... I mean, there are SO many colours out there that haven't been used...

I recently got a Nike socceroos jersey, and Ive only worn it once but its so comfortable!

And I feel like such a girl...when I read the title, I thought "The players strip! Oohhh!!"

*sigh* Such a letdown.

There was a poll on an A-League website "What's the worst thing about Season One" "Queensland's Maroon Socks" came out a clear winner.

Queensland's strip is terrible, they should have called themselves BRISBANE Roar then people wouldn't demand the maroon! I assume that if Queensland play the final they'd be expected to wear white?

Pokey: That Adelaide game, Queensland should have worn white, it was a terrible refereeing decision to let them play!

Did we wear white in the first grand final?!

 

[Omni]

No but Yellow & Blue don't clash, surely Yellow & Orange do.

It's your home match (technically).
You wont be wearing white

 

[~Floss~]

I don't actually think CCM & Qld home strips would clash too much. Scum however...

 

[fish]

wont make the final so it wont be an issue

fish the voice of reason....

The scum strips should be banned. What drugs were they on when they go "Ok, for Newcastle we'll combine baby poo with a bronze/gold" Yuck.

Although, my friend goes "Newcastle won't make the grand final...Bronze always means Third".

Well said I think.

The colour of the "scum" jersey acually come from FC Barcelona's away strip (i think - i am a "jets" supporter )
Anyways i like the gold but the QLD one is too over the top to come back on topic
Wonder what the Thunder and Galaxy's jerseies will be......
