ok its still the same company, just with a new name. A new silly sounding name at that. But hhopefully this rebrand brings an improvement in quality. To see rumoured images of next season kit follow this link: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-fc-agree-new-balance-7952456 I hope the new main stand will not be named the New Balance stand...
Hopefully working with a different division of New Balance we can have less crappy shirts! Good job too because Warrior had been planning to release these as the home/away kits next season please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
Mock up of Liverpool 2015/16 kits made by me @fumlerrawk Ffs. Do newspapers have editors anymore... It's in the tweet they're mock ups and the paper asks have the kits been leaked. No they haven't.
http://www.thesportbible.com/articles/liverpool-set-to-change-sponsor-for-2015-2016-season The kits pictured on this link (mock ups or genuine) look sweet, would buy all three if they weren't 70 quid a pop Great news (as long as it doesn't affect our finances!)
As far as I am concerned the warrior link was purely to stimulate brand in us not here New balance? F that The sooner this deal is over the better IMO we need even more off a real brand like Adidas
When does this contract run out? Hopefully we can find a new sponsor that isn't a bit ****. Yes I've heard of New Balance, but in terms of sports wear we all know their pretty low grade. So NB has in roads into the Asian market, guess who else do companies like Reebox, Addidas, Nike and Puma. Just think we could do better.
Disagree mate. New Balance is a good brand for us to be with right now. It's got serious traction and is pretty stylish right now so will draw sales from consumers who are casual wearers of sportswear or general footie followers with no affiliation and not LFC fans, as well as our fans. Plus it's very individual, I can't think of another football team wearing NB at the moment, it's a massive step up from Warrior anyway. Yes the brands you mention have bigger ties to football and it would be good to get Nike or Adidas on board in future financially but their quality is no better or worse than NB, it's just your perception of those brands is pumped up by their marketing and advertising, especially since they have much bigger budgets to enact their mind control.
New Balance isn't as large a company as Nike or Adidas- but they have good quality stuff... I think I'd rather be with New Balance than the other two. Used to like Adidas as a kid- but not so much anymore. I've always hated Nike for some reason. Nike and Adidas just seem too "kiddie" ****. New Balance strikes me as a more adult brand- which, as an adult, I prefer. I'd say Reebok, a larger company, but stinks of low-quality to me. Puma's not bad but can be overpriced (here in the US at least- it's a niche product... probably because it's almost 100% focused on football which isn't as popular over here). Overall- I'm very happy with NB.
So you'd rather have the **** Warrior have been churning out for three years now (home kits aside I guess, even tho the quality has been gash)??
