Some people can be quite particular on preferred brands when it comes to football boots. Had this been with a supplier other than Nike or Adidas I'd probably agree with you. But if players can get access to a free supply of top-tier Nike cleats I'm not sure it will be a problem...not at this level... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpg_29 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I'm more curious to know how much(if any?) Nike paid for the sponsorship. We got leaks of the numbers around the mediaPro deal but not any of the other sponsorships so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 This is something players at all levels normally decide for themselves, so not sure how many precedents there are to check what happened elsewhere. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno maybe there will be option for players to blur out logos on other brand cleats? I feel like there are deals like this in other leagues/tournaments and it must be handled some way. I just don't see it as a huge issue in grand scheme of things. The amount of travel will probably a much larger issue for players to grasp than having to use Nike cleats.

Pretty routine stuff. Also quite sure none of the player signings so far announced will be troubled that this will create a conflict with their existing footwear sponsors. Because they don't have one. dyslexic nam and longlugan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they don't have one. It actually is not at all routine to have an obligatory boot in pro football. What is standard is for each player to choose what is best for him. I think players should be able to wear want they want. Nike should understand that they might have to deal with exceptions if a player is not happy with his options.

C2SKI Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Has it been stated anywhere that Nike boots will be mandatory for all players? All I've seen is that the partnership will have players wearing Nike boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I've seen is that the partnership will have players wearing Nike boots For some of the comments I have been reading elsewhere it's likely that it isn't mandatory. It's possible Nike boots would be offered at a discount/free to players if they so chose. I guess you''d probably capture enough of the players with something like this would make the deal worth it for Nike.

Kent Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Speaking of marking calendars, I have to say I got a really warm and fuzzy feeling a couple days ago when I put the York 9 schedule in my phone (after getting annoyed that it wasn't working for me through the iPhone app, had to do it on a desktop). It's great to scroll through and see those games in there, that are actually going to happen, like, this year. Ah!
