I LOVE this top from the Club Shop

[Mendoza]

I love it so much I will be warming up at the REMF game in it, gotta love the RETRONESS of it

2 stripes is a bit rubbish, you'd be temtpted to tippex on the third.

I agree with BOTH of you.

It is GREAT, but would be GREATER STILL if it were pukka Adidas.

 

[Mick Beard BHA]

Dammit, when did this one go on sale?

I only just PURCHASED the other one

 

[Bluejuice]

I'm tempted to agree.

I give it a thumbs up and want one

 

[Mendoza]

It came out today - £34.99

 

[Mrs Coach]

Hoooooooow much? lol!

 

[Bluejuice]

Well f*** that idea then.

 

[Easy 10]

albion not smart enough to work with adidas on this for a special project.

 

[Mick Beard BHA]

To be honest i prefer the tops to be unique, and not have some other 'brand' all over it.

Adidas getting involved would probably have pushed the price up even further anyway?

Also I would have thought our deal with Errea was an exclusive deal. Would Adidas even want to get involved?

albion adidas memorabilia is as rare as hens teeth and is probably the most valuable of all albion collectors items.

and we're not talking some chavvy adidas trousers here either, we're talking 1980's adidas, i think they are one of the best brands on the planet and would wet myself if the albion did some sort of link up with them.

i bet those chumps at errea have got some sort of clause prohibiting us from working with any other manufacturers - think how well those bukta shirts would sell!

'Good morning, Adidas HQ, how can we help?'

'Hello there, I'm phoning from Brighton and Hove Albion FC'

'Hello there, how can we help'

'We want to discuss production of a special garment'

'Excellent. What did you have in mind?'

'A track suit top, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of our famous trip to Wembley'

'Its certainly possible sir, what quantities are you thinking of?'

'Probably an initial run of 30'

'Okay sir 30 thousand units, plus one off design fee, should be do-able at a retail price of about £50'

'Not 30 thousand. 30'

'30 units'

'Yes'

adidas originals are a fashion brand not a sports label - they introduced originals to offset the 'performance' side of the market and they aren't as commercially driven as the former.

innervisons records in berlin worked with adidas producing one off shirts for the world cup, it was a limited edition run with the emphahsis on adidas orginals alligning themselves with another cool brand or event.

i'm not sure the club have the pr nous OR merchandise track record to entice adidas' interest.

fair play to the club for giving it a go using their own resources, i will always be picky about these things but if i was a chelsea fan i wouldn't wear a fake shirt i'd bought from a market in spain.
