£60m a year Adidas deal agreed

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6036645/Arsenal-change-Puma-adidas-new-60m-kit-deal.html

We have agreed a deal with Adidas who will be our kit provider now starting from next season in a deal believed to be worth ยฃ60m a year over a 5 year period, effectively ยฃ300m. This is currently double what we have now.

I was excited about Puma at first and I think they started well however, apart from last years Home shirt, I havenโ€™t been too impressed. Itโ€™s been ages since we had our traditional yellow and blue away kit. I am fed up of having white on our shoulders too. Our kit is white sleeves only. Not against it on shoulders every now and then but would also like to see the sleeves only shirts too.

Also, that's a pretty good deal considering our CL status. I wonder if adidas will have any regrets.

Great news. The money of course but more the fact we're seeing the back of these horrible Puma kits. One decent kit in 4 years.

Does the club not have any say in the design?

I'm sure they consult the Arsenal PR department on past designs and material types etc. But i doubt the Arsenal would have any significant say on the matter. You won't pay someone £60m over 5 years for them to have an overriding say on the matter.

Arsenal is the client. Of course they have a say.

Arsenal will give the clear on the shirt

My business card at work for example. I didn’t design it, I didn’t print it but the company asked me if I liked it and if I wanted to amend it.

I’m sure that’s what arsenal get too

Arsenal may also say we’d like a shirt with say gold on it, what colour away kits, if they have white on shoulders too..

They most likely say “oh it’s been 20 years since the club achieved this and we would like a similar shirt to the one we played in back then to celebrate it”

Hopefully this means no more skinny cuts to the shirts.
