Russia sign deal with Adidas
The Russian Football Union have signed a deal with Adidas to produce the kits for the Russian national team.
The deal sees Adidas replace the equally large Nike as the kit manufacturers, and will see the 3-stripes adorn the kits of evry RFU team, including the Olympic side.
The deal will last an astounding 18 years.
The deal came into effect as of the 1st of September, and the new shirts were worn for the first time in Russia’s 2-1 win over Wales in today’s World Cup Qualifying match.
First they bring back a soviet era version of their national anthem
They’re starting to invade their neighbours — again
Now Adidas is back – I’m waiting for the CCCP logo to apear, along with the cold war.
The shirts are ok – another basic template that lacks creativity. I wonder if Roman Abramovich gets a cut?
Boring kit.
The latest Nike kit with the colored stripes across the chest looked great.
Where’s the Carlsberg logo?
oh no, i loved the nike kit, that looks awful.
One can only hope that these are preliminary kits that Russia wore in the match so closely held after the deal had been reached.
Let’s hope adidas uses the next month to customize at least a bit.
that’s to fuck1ng weird, why the fuc-k would they change such a great fuck1ng kit for that piece of sh1t!!!???….
fuc-k’em.
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PEOPLE DONT HAVE FACES!!!!
@bla – it’s sad that you took the time to be so creative in being vulgar.
hey Jeff, thanks for using your time for telling me to Fuc-K off in such a polite way. =)
I so agree, the nike kit is better than the brand new adidas kit. the adidas design looks bad, awful, and………..#****^$&Q%…… SHIT
Home looks ok but prefer nike one.
Retaliation for Nike jumping the France contract for 2009 on? Pitiful work by Adidas.
mghk
brn442 you’re a funny man : ) Don’t worry though, KGB will come for YOU first : )) I actually like the kits!
