    Anyone know anything new on this? Have we actually left Adidas for Warrior? I would imagine Adidas would offer lfc the world to keep them we are top 5 in the world for selling shirts etc

    Liverpool have wrapped up a £25m-a-year kit deal with Boston-based company Warrior Sports — a record for English football and twice what adidas currently pay.
    Warrior, a subsidiary of New Balance, will take over from adidas ahead of the 2012-13 season and it is expected to be a long-term relationship which puts Nike’s deal with Manchester United - worth £23.5m - into the shade.
    The news comes as a huge blow to their current kit manufacturers as Liverpool's shirt is the fourth-highest selling replica in the world.

    Ive always been a adidas fan but looking forward to something new, the shirts are geting a bit predictable.
    someone just told me on twitter an official announcement could be soon due to all the adidas gear being 75% off

    Hopefully they do a nice kit, will be nice for a change anyway... and if it's double the Adidas deal... then that's all the better for LFC

    Id say this is the first of many good things to come, John Henry and To Werner seem to have their heads screwed on and have great business minds

    Very surprised by this really! It really is amazing the power of the clubs brand these days considering we haven't exactly been setting the world alight over the past few seasons. Imagine if we could get the club back firing on all cylinders we'd be a force to be reckoned with on the commercial front!!

    There has never been any official statement confirming this deal with Warrior and in August Ian Ayre refused to confirm/deny the deal. I would expect this deal to be made official soon.

    Lots of new companies coming into the jersey market with 'Under Armour' signing to be the Spurs new jersey provider next season in a much improved contract for them.

    Will have a root later, I know it was in papers but thought I had seen something on their websites, I did put a question mark after it in fairness

    You correct. The Boston globe and new balance stop short of a confirmation.
    Either way from what I know, the change will be going ahead.
    I actually can't wait to see the kits

    I just hope if its true they get the kit out there, will be tough for a new brand to secure all those supply chains so quickly
    I cant wait to see the new kit
