liverpool formally announce warrior deal

liverpoolfc.tv posted:

Warrior Sports Inc. and Liverpool Football Club today announced a deal which sees Warrior become the Club's Official Kit Supplier.

The deal, which will come into play from June 1st 2012, will see Warrior create the Liverpool FC home, away and third kits, as well as their training wear for the next six years.

Owned by Boston based New Balance Athletic Shoe Inc., the move represents the starting point in Warrior Sports' global football journey partnering with one of the biggest club sides in the history of world football. Warrior Sports recognises the heritage of Liverpool FC and has employed industry experts in design, development, marketing and implementation to ensure that the brand has the best people on hand to support the Partnership.

Richard Wright, General Manager for Warrior Sports comments: "At Warrior Sports we pride ourselves on high performance and an incredible desire to win. Our Partnership with Liverpool FC, a football institution and recognised brand name across the world, is the perfect fit. Warrior Sports has ventured into football to bring our knowledge of making top level product to a new playing field. We are not the sort of brand that is going to keep our head down. We are here to shake up the world of football and our Partnership with one of the most successful club teams of all time is just the start."

Ian Ayre, Managing Director of Liverpool Football Club, added: "Liverpool FC is thrilled to be able to announce this fantastic Partnership with Warrior Sports for the 2012-2013 Barclays Premier League season onwards. This is another landmark deal for Liverpool Football Club and once again shows the value of the Club's brand globally. Warrior Sports will bring its own unique brand and ideas to the Partnership, ensuring that they can assist us at the Club both on and off the field of play. Sharing the same focus of domination and winning will be an incredibly important part of this Partnership going forward. As with all our Partnerships we have taken time to form a relationship with the individuals behind this opportunity. I believe that Warrior have some outstanding people we can work closely with to continue to deliver quality products to our fans around the world."

I didn't know FILA still existed. Besides the logo, that looks great though.

They went real quiet since being bought by some Koreans, they're everywhere here but nothing in the real fashionable line like Nike, Adidas or Kappa are held.

Many Korean under the age of 20 think Fila and FuBu are Korean original brands. :smith:

Asd far as I can tell, this will be their first foray into soccer. Their highest profile is from making hockey and lacrosse jerseys.

If the money from the deal pays for a decent player, can dress them in polka dots for all I care. There's some fake mock-ups on the internet already that all look fine, if it's anyting close to that then great, but I don't buy kits for anything but sleeping/gym in anyway.

Seongnam has announced their real kits for the 2012 season. Much better than the terror that was leaked before.

I don't think there's a Liverpool fan in the world that can complain about those. If they keep it pretty simple they can't go too far wrong.

If those are real, I'd be happy enough. As has been said before, I couldn't really care less if the shirts turn out horrible, just means I won't be getting one.

I like them both actually but I really hate this seasons for some reason so maybe it's just better by comparison I really like the one from 0708 that one was really cool and was one of the first kits I bought also I got the black 3rd kit from 0809 with Hyppia on it but they sent me a small woman's instead of a medium male so I gave it to my friend Lauren and she looked cute in it because she's a cute girl + Liverpool are a cute club

It's also a badge that will never, ever be used which makes everything look nicer.

Because it looks nicer, same when people make Arsenal mockups with the canon. It's a bitch/impossible to copyright though so it's pointless. Just gets peoples hopes up.

Are there any clubs with gradient shirts that look alright, or does it not really work on actual textiles?
