They knock out 3 new designs each season now, ultimately they are forced to do something different for the sake of it. I'll be more interested to see how much more money we do actually make out of the deal.
20% of net sales on everything we sell with Nike brand name on. I don't know how big the range is or will be but it will be a significant amount. Early sales are through the roof. My thoughts are that I would rather have had a bigger up front payment than rely on the fans to make the money for them by buying the stuff but nobody will be forced to buy anything.
Just had a quick look on the Nike site. All Liverpool stuff is sold out. Had a look at Chelsea kit just to see if there's a general shortage across all teams but everything Chelsea is available.
Underneath it all, the Liver Birds are made of copper, but I suppose the colour of verdigris doesn't sound quite so romantic.
Like the Statue of Liberty, the colour makes the Liver Birds more iconic. Nike could have just called it verdigris instead of teal as verdigris is an acceptable colour. Like you say though, it doesn't sound as romantic. If you accept what they say about the colour choice - and there's no reason not to since they told the story about the choice on the launch - then it's quite a nice little touch.
But they could have just made one of the second or third kits teal (or involve teal) instead, then it also keeps with LFC tradition of all red shirts with white (or gold to celebrate the PL win) trim
The away kit is teal. I agree with you about having an all red home kit but it is only trim, had it been a horizontal stripe or something like that then that would be a big no. (My phone certainly doesn't like teal. I've typed it loads of times lately and my phone keeps changing it to real.)
LeBron James wore the new shirt yesterday and posted a picture on social media. Which was then retweeted by the official LFC, LA Lakers and Fifa accounts. The media marketing push is underway ...
I was 16/17 in 95 I think, I'd be lucky to get leg into it now On a positive note the new goalkeeper top is very pretty for next season.
I had mcmanaman on the back of that one. My mum was not pleased when I handed her the cut out and iron on felt numbering packs
He was my favourite player at the time. I had fowler on the green and white one with black shorts (same season I think)
Loved Macca and Fowler (Redknapp & Barnes too) but Rob Jones was my favourite; I played RB plus I like to be different. Only name I've had other than my own is Torres.
