Fairly certain that will be the home kit - linked from picture at official Puma store, unsure if these two kits are legit though.

Sponsors logo would have been better just white rather than coloured.

The warrior home kits have been superb. The away kits on the other hand...

Ahh, I was just reading about the Puma and Adidas brothers. Pretty funny business rivalry. I'd recommend reading about it for anyone who can be bothered.

IIRC did one sleep with the other's wife? As I recall, they were brothers and business partners and then that happened and they split, with one founding Puma as a rival to Adidas? They both still have head offices in the same town, and then town is divided among Puma/Adidas lines. None of this bloods and crips shit, that's a real rivalry right there.

Yeah, all of the above was what I was reading. Not sure on link though, wiki has a very basic write up on them. What a classic rivalry, checking peoples shoes to see who they rollin' with. 

Adidas brother was Adolf Dassler nicknamed Adi, so where that name comes from is a bit obvious. I think the Puma brother is the older brother and he just liked the name Puma.

There's a book about it. A lot of it comes down to the family living together and not getting along.

Adi was the designer/tech guy where Rudi was a sales/marketing whizz.

Brilliant book...and don't click to look inside, that's an image from Amazon...

That third kit looks good there, just not so much in that picture I posted. Probably because it's on Giroud.

So a HUGE deal for Adidas/Man Yoo. Can't see the value in it for Adidas BUT it does mean that with the Chevy sponsorship, Man Yoo will earn about $120 - $130m a season just from the shirt they are wearing. Nice work if you can get it...

With this happening and Arsenal moving to Puma, Nike are now represented by only 3 teams (Man City, QPR, Everton...I think) and the rumours of them trying to take Liverpool from Warrior have started. 

Large numbers of LFC first team are already in Nike boots and with a push for LFC into the American market given their relationship with Red Sox, Dunkin' Donuts, Cadillac then Nike would make sense. 

Love all of the Warrior home kits but their away and 3rd kits always left a lot to be desired.

A lot of QPR fans wanted to go back to Adidas too. Not buying this seasons crap shirt either.

I read something a while back about Nike wanting to have a representative in each key region, and that is why they were ok with losing Man Utd as they have Man City (that, and the frankly batshit mental offer from Adidas for Man Utd).  Apparently the City deal is a long term one (via Umbro, who were bought by Nike) that does not cost them a huge amount so they are more than happy with that.

For the reason of 1 team per region, I cannot see them going after Liverpool if they already have Everton. I can see them trying for one of the larger London clubs (no offence QPR) and for maybe someone like Sunderland though.

None taken Frankie. I too am of the opinion of bringing back Adidas to QPR.

We know that contract mean sod all in football.

A company like Nike would cover the cost of a contract break and now that Everton is under the Umbro flag (still Nike, but not really) it would suit them to tie up Merseyside in their products regardless of the team you support.

On Merseyside I think you'll find most shirts are less 'purchased' and more 'acquired'.... smiley face with a wink

I quite like the Man City strip, very slick. I think it's the logo that particularly appeals, visible (not positive in itself but a necessary evil) but minimalist. Compare that to the horrendous Chevrolet logo on the Man U shirt for an example of what not to do.

Quite like the West Ham and Chelsea kits myself. In regards to away kits, as a Liverpool fan I love seeing the heyday yellow back!
