Chelsea’s London Rivals Arsenal signed a humongous deal with coveted Puma this summer worth £170m for a 5-year contract £34m a year making it you guessed it right….. the most expensive PL kit deal.
Although the crown now has a new head Manchester United.
Manchester United and Nike tied terms in 2002 and was reportedly worth a minimum of £23.5m a year for 13 years until the 2014-15 season.
Manchester United was negotiating with a number of brands including current supplier Nike, Adidas, Puma and Warrior.
Adidas having lost its number in PL with teams rescinding their contract and were in a dire need of a ‘Successful’ team to mark their stamp.
Herbert Hainer, Adidas Group CEO said: “We are excited to team up with Manchester United, one of the most successful and most loved football clubs globally. At the same time, this collaboration marks a milestone for us when it comes to merchandising potential. We expect total sales to reach 1.5 billion GBP during the duration of our partnership.”
Nike had a contract option to match any other supplier’s offer before Manchester United could sign it, but decided against using that clause.
Adidas broke the bank and eventually the kits would not be that much affordable for the Fans but who are we to complain.
I’ll just leave this kit here…………
