Ipswich Town Announce Adidas Kit deal
Apr 7, 2014, by Chris
English Championship Ipswich Town today anounced the Adidas kit deal following their previous kit supplier Mitre. The Ipswich Town Adidas Kit Deal will see the club to play with Adidas kits for the first time in the past 25 years, when they managed to win the FA Cup and UEFA Cup trophies.
Ipswich Town Sign Four-Years Adidas Kit deal
The new Ipswich Town 14-15 Kits will be presented in Summer 2014. The contract with Adidas will begin on July 1, 2014 and run at least until 2018. It is expected that the new Ipswich Town 2014-2015 Kits will be based on a Adidas 14-15 teamwear kit.
Ipswich Town Joint Managing Director Ian Milne commented on the Adidas Kit deal: "We are delighted to be working again with adidas, one of the biggest names in sport. They have a proven track record in producing quality sportswear and having spoken to Mick McCarthy and the players, I know how much they are looking forward to seeing next season’s new kit."
Steve Holland (Adidas) pointed out the rich heritage of the partnership between Ipswich and Adidas.
Premier League Match Ball Spotted in German 9th Tier for Niklas Süle Debut
Former Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Germany defender Niklas Süle recently made headlines by stepping onto the pitch for German amateur side SV Tiefenbach in the Kreisliga. Having stepped away from the professional game at the end of the 25-26 season, the 30-year-old made his debut for the local ninth-tier club in Baden-Württemberg alongside close friends. While Süle managed to score a headed goal in a 7-2 defeat against SG Kirchardt, we quickly spotted an unexpected detail: the match was played with the official Nike Premier League 24-25 Third ball.
Seeing a Premier League match ball in the lower divisions of German regional football is an unusual and amusing sight, as amateur clubs across the country usually rely on non-league or, also, Bundesliga balls.
The distinctive Nike Flight Premier League design inspired by the Total 90 design, complete with its signature aerodynamic groove pattern and Premier League graphics, stood out prominently on the district league pitch.
New Hull City Signing Brings Back Memories of Iconic Vennegoor of Hesselink Number 29 Kit Font Arc
Following Hull City's signing of French midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath, kit enthusiasts and football fans quickly noticed a similarity to one of the most iconic shirt prints in Premier League history. Gourna-Douath was unveiled holding his new black and amber striped 26-27 home kit featuring his hyphenated surname curved in a deep horseshoe arc around the number 29.
The visual immediately drew viral comparisons to Dutch striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who famously wore the exact same squad number 29 for Hull City during the 2009-10 campaign. Vennegoor of Hesselink's 20-letter surname required an extreme rainbow arch on the back of his kit to fit around the Premier League typeface, creating an enduring aesthetic memory from the classic Barclays era.
The Hull City kit does not require a box at the back, unlike it might have been in the UEFA Champions League.
Djed Spence to Wear Number 99 at Inter Milan
Following his permanent transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Inter Milan, English wing-back Djed Spence has officially chosen the number 99 shirt for the 26-27 campaign. The 26-year-old completed his move to the Nerazzurri in a deal worth approximately €30 million, signing a five-year contract that keeps him at the club until June 2031.
High squad numbers remain a classic hallmark of Serie A, and Spence's selection of number 99 sees him continue that tradition in Milan.
