Bontis and Co wanted Nike and negotiated the deal themselves…. Further more other major brands had interest in sponsoring the team… basically CSB thinks that if they had done the deal, we might not have gotten Nike but we would have gotten more gear and more $$, the CSA didn’t negotiate with anyone but Nike. Why can't we get rid of Nike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised given how corrupt Canadian governance is at the municipal, provincial and federal levels with all the kick backs that occur and non arms length contracts that get done behind the scenes without punishment.

Unlike for the men, Cochrane has said Nike has discussed with them about the plan for women's kits starting 4 years ago. Haven't seen anything yet from Nike but adidas has released their WC away kits. It plays off the nature of each country.

The top itself is kinda weird with those diagonal lines (a simple collar would've looked sharp). Would need to see the red and black one in a photo or in person. Right now it kinda looks like some 90s tech company landing page or tradeshow banner. QBCS, narduch and Fresh Prince of MTL 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to draw too many conclusions from this rendering showing the robo-players and jerseys from odd obstructed angles. Not sure I like either jersey (I prefer the current black but probably just due to positive associations with WCQ results earned wearing those ones) but at least they made an effort this time.

When the deal was signed the women's team were likely viewed as the more likely to sell significant numbers of shirts by Nike with the men's team regarded as an afterthought pre-2026. Another example of why locking yourself into long contracts is often best avoided because circumstances can and do change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 ARGHH! CSA and Nike screwing the mens program. Inequality, disrespect, the men got no new shirt for WC, the women do! Waaaaaa!!!! I dont care about facts or perfectly reasonable reasons why this happened, I just want to complain, where is the inquiry?? Unfair treatment. I want to see the men in Gov hearings telling us how their feeling were hurt by this disrespectful treatment, even if there is a completely logical reason why. You know just like there were reasons why the men had extra staff, more money for WC prep (from FIFA coffers) because the mens tourney brings multitudes more money than the womens etc, but no one wanted to hear that. ray, johnyb, NVsoccer and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Here are the other Nike World Cup kits. Looks like the away kits are more simplistic in design and look similar across nations. Norway, Korea, China, France & Australia both home & away kits are quite basic. In their releases, Nike empahsized technology while adidas emphasized design. Canada's home kit is one of the better ones. At least the white kit is back to being paired with red shorts. England's Art Deco inspired blue away kit looks good also. https://equalizersoccer.com/2023/04/03/photos-every-nike-2023-womens-world-cup-kit/ Edited April 3 by red card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
