OT: Germany FIR€$ Adidas, HIR€$ Nike

[Fat Koko]

Translation: Germany national soccer teams to be outfitted by Nike after 70 years of Adidas. The reason is money.

Nike wird neuer DFB-Ausrüster ab 2027

Der Deutsche Fußball-Bund (DFB) wird ab 2027 bis 2034 eine Ausrüstungspartnerschaft mit der Nike Inc eingehen. Nike wird alle Nationalmannschaften des DFB ausrüsten und den deutschen Fußball in seiner Gänze fördern.

Sad…Nike sucks…Germans should be embarrassed

Nike is becoming an overexposed relic
Nikes were always ugly
Took Hoka to prove it.
They run small but so did Nike

Nike's biggest threat is coming from young brands like Hoka and On Running​

The last couple of kits for the German team have been lacking. I am a big Adidas guy but Nike designs are even worse. Nike products are just not good anymore but the sheep will buy since it's "American".

Totally agree. Quality stinks. They produce the cheapest stuff because they have to pay $100 millions in endorsements. And Rutgers got stuck with salmon uniforms that nobody at the game could read the #s.

All these kits are hit & miss

The US ones last night vs Jamaica were reminiscent of 94 vs Brazil in the Rose Bowl, but the red socks ruined them

Italy’s new ones are flashy but gaudy

Still better than the garbage they wore prior to these where they looked like the French national team

I know it’s all money but they shouldn’t go with drastic changes - just tweak them as necessary

We see it w college football - don’t even get me started w the garbage Nike pulls there

Didn’t read the article. But is it really Nike? And not “Fanatics?”

Perhaps they wanted Dylan Mulvaney as a spokesman for them.
