Goodbye Adidas | Oliver Kahn Launches Own Goalkeeper Brand
Following a number of tempting tweets and teasers about a new job, Oliver Kahn this week launched his own goalkeeper brand, Goalplay. The launch of his own goalkeeper brand enraged Bayern München's supporters as they hoped that he would become again part of the club as an ambassador, while Adidas is likely also not happy as Oliver Kahn is a crucial part of their history wearing their products during his entire career and receiving signature products similar to CR7, Messi and Neymar.
Goalplay was founded to foster the development in goalkeeping and help goalkeepers to get better every day and includes apart from equipment also essential content about goalkeeping such as tutorials. Goalplay released an initial collection of four different goalkeeper gloves, with two of them available in two colors only directly through Goalplay.com at the moment. The motto of Goalplay is 'zu null' - 'Keep a clean sheet'.
