Chelsea end long standing partnership with adidas

We'll make up the compensation we had to pay to cancel the deal with Adidas in 1 year. It was definitely worth pulling out.

It wouldn't surprise me if Nike has agreed to pay the compensation

600m for 10 years coming our way. Thats like 12 Torres's

God No! Either sign a rolling contract if that is possible or max it at 5yrs. Come renewal time Madrid, Barca will get bigger deals also, won't be surprised if in 5yrs time £100m per season become the norm.

Which is a valid argument if we didnt just finish the season in 10th.

 

Time for everyone to start realising this moment isn't the time to start caring about what other teams do, we need to get back into being worth that amount sharpish.

I guess Purslow is really earning his pay. First Yokohama and now, this.

 

Although apparently it was Marina who brokered the Nike deal. In any case, well done.

While the money is impressive and I'm glad the board has done something positive in a while, personally disappointed it's Nike. Purely from a visual standpoint I haven't really seen a Nike kit that I've properly liked. Was hoping either Reebok or Under Armour would be the case but I'll be hoping Nike can pull something positive off.

 

I do agree with Ducavis that 10 years is a lot considering the new TV rights deal, in 3-5 years this deal might be middle of the pack and although we're not currently in a position to pick whatever we want some long-term thinking would've been comforting. Even a 5+5 with an opt-out would've been great but for now the club has done good.

 

Now if they'd put Emenalo on the next plane to Nigeria I'd really start celebrating.

Great deal, surprised at the negativity (though I really shouldn't be) as no one knows the full details yet,there very well may be cut off points and ways out, even staged rises and trophy bonuses etc.

I personally won't believe it til it is confirmed by either the club or nike

 

I've been hurt before :(

Its a weird one, don't think that would suit either party. If we stay crap it suits nike and if we dont it suits us. End of the day though we have precedent for buying out contracts now. But a lot hinges on how long it takes us to bounce back

I agree at this point it's a fantastic solution. My main concern as I said is with the visuals, that's purely up to Nike to impress me.

Great deal especially given our recent finishing position.

No doubt Madrid will absolutely blow us out of the water, but 60M is not to be sniffed at!

I actually like nike sports clothing so this is good. Be interesting to see what kit designs they come up with for us. Please make them good, and design a yellow one please.

I assume next year's kit which we wore on the last game was Addidas? Is that the last one, and Nike will take over for 17/18?

Nike are decent tbh.

I mean Adidas haven't exactly been full of ambitious kit designs themselves. The yellow one a year ago being the one that stands out.

At least we wont have to have the 3 stripes somewhere now. Looks daft on the new shirt

Nothing new there, Adidas payed for buying out the Umbro contract too.
