Adelaide have literally been linked to everyone

Fair chance it's ISC

This thread would explode if Under Armour signs with an AFL club.

Had a chat to a sports store owner about this yesterday. UA can only be stocked in rebel and amart, not even club shops can sell it, same with reebok. I was hopeful the crows could jag a deal. Most likely ISC or asics

surely that would change if they get a deal with a club tho.

 

[Freight Train]

Yeah contractually they would have to allow their product to be sold in team stores and AFL Store etc.

Yes most likely ISC or Asics.
I'd prefer Asics because they have a much better collar than ISC, the fat ISC collar would look weird for a crows jumper imo.

"We will make your gear but you can't sell it"
"Ummm, sure.... is this the new BLK business model?"

I don't really care what the collar looks like, as long as it doesn't have VS/VIVA underneath it!

Now the Majestic rumours are circulating on the Crows board.

Another day another supposed 'confirmed signing'

 

[Dean1]

Not that I can recall. Happy to be corrected if it can be shown.

Still another news article but there is a photo with the new guernsey

I'm not sure that crow28 ever said that it wasn't going to be majestic, just that it hadn't been confirmed.

Correct. Still no confirmation from the Lions themselves (though I expect it'll happen today), but a photo is good enough to confirm it now.

That's the way I read it too. Nice to have some confirmation and that collar is fantastic. Shame about the watermarks though.

 

[TheBug]

Lions have confirmed they've signed with Majestic until 2020, including the 2017 season, via their Twitter account.

GWS had their team photos today, still with 2016 BLK jumpers.

I'd expect those logos to be airbrushed out and replaced with the new manufacturer when used for official stuff like TV graphics, website headshots and the like.

So they have gone from a sports apparel company to a motivational Instagram page?

They really are #beyondlimitsknown

Veeeeery interesting.

I think Adidas has sold off Reebok and now that brand is a shell of itself: a tacky logo and nothing but exercise gear. The only good thing about it is seeing Gigi Hadid in their Lycra gear...

I would assume these companies are farmed out under license here in Australia, much like BLK being an umbrella brand from someone else overseas. Obviously Rebel have grabbed the rights, and I believe Rebel also had a similar deal with Umbro when Nike sold them off and they were in limbo.

I wonder if you can buy Roar gear at other sports stores?

Because you can buy Reebok Classics and other shoes at places like Hype, which as far as I know aren't owned by Rebel. Perhaps the two branches are owned by separate companies: Reebok is owned by Rebel in Australia, but someone like Converse might have the rights to reproduce sneakers in the Reebok style.

A little like CUB or Lion Nathan brewing their own Heineken here, but independent bottle shops imported Heineken from Holland, the UK, and US.

I'd just about bet my house that Under Armour's deal with Rebel Sport doesn't extend to branded clubs.

Tottenham should be the answer here. Has anyone seen a Tottenham shirt outside of a Rebel Sport or Amart in Australia?
