It's should be Puma if not Adidas. You can accept if England changed umbro to Nike, but when you had both Adidas and puma which one is giant roots of football and top two brand and one is rising, it's definitely bad things
@@batuksri Erima is a German brand, so it's not really that big of a deal. If they switched to Puma, nobody would make a fuss as it's also a German brand made by the brother of Adidas' founder.
I'm supprised that no one is mentioning that Nike is positioned very well to become a monopoly in the sports ware space, and that outcome will definitely not be positive for the fans or the teams, and organisations that they sign contracts with. We can already see the ways in which Nike has used their position to dilute and damage the images of sports teams and leagues in the US. The abysmal NBA jurseys for example, which are poor quality and suffer from frequent tears, and where they have flooded the market with so many alternate and anniversary jerseys. I hope that we can all see and notice the ways in which Nike has already begun cutting corners and that they will only do so more agrresively once they control even more of the market.
@@swagatpatra2139that's the worry, these are great brands but they can't compete with the biggest ones. NB produced some great Liverpool kits but couldn't keep up with Nike's offer. Kappa made stunning kits for Italy and eventually lost the deal to Puma.
It was shocking to imagine German national team without Adidas kit even for a non German like myself ( I'm South African) atleast if it was Pumas it was going to be understandable it also a German sports brand But nonetheless Nike is about to lose France, Brazil,Portugal and Barcelona so here's an opening for Adidas
I hope the DFB returns to Adidas or goes to Puma in 2034. These trends (replacing our European products - cars, clothes, parfumes, machines with American and Chinese ones) should stop if we want to have adequate economic growth and stability!
Won't Germany have bigger problems come the end of this decade than what shirt 11 dandies are wearing? Where are you guys going to get your cheap energy now that German politicians are no longer colluding with Putin?
Then pay for it. This is not anything new, Adidas got away with not paying market rate for so long, they almost lost the German team in the early 2000’s. Should have been prepared for a battle like this. Unless they don’t have the money, which is apparently the case.
you're right there...and that's the problem...It's just about money and we german /european fans should have found a compromise or fought against it, but the Premier League just looked too good as a money machine that many other leagues and clubs couldn't withstand! But yeah, we germans have to find a way to accept regional, non-autocratic, non-political sponsors as money-donors unlike many top-clubs and unlike the premier league aso! Greetings
If another company offered to double your salary, you would atleast consider it lol. Highly doubt that the nike deal is sooo different from the adidas one, the DFB went with the money. It's basic math.
@@StillAwesome21 the thing is that they didnt even give adidas a chance to give them a better offer. They could've said to adidas: "Hey we have this offer from nice. Do you have a better or nearly same one?" But they didnt.
„Three more world cups followed in adidas shirts“ That is not true. The 75 years partnership refers to the shoes. Until 1963 leuze was supplying the kits then umbro. Erima was supplying the kits for the world cup 74 and 78 while adidas gave them jackets shoes…, but adidas bought erima in 1976. The stripes and logo are only on the shirts since 80s. Its because of that common misconception that the whole thing was such a big deal in tbe first place.
Before the 1980s, Adidas was not the official kit supplier for World Cup teams. Teams like West Germany wore Adidas shoes and had Adidas as a sponsor, but other companies supplied the kits. In the 1970s, Adidas acquired Erima, which supplied kits for the World Cup before Adidas branding became prominent on shirts. In the 1980s and onwards, Adidas began to feature its logo and the iconic three stripes on official team shirts for the World Cup. Adidas' involvement with the World Cup spans many years, but the distinct branding with the three stripes and logo on team shirts started to consistently appear from the 1980s onwards. Prior to this, while Adidas may have been involved through footwear and sponsorship, the kits were not branded as Adidas.
The problem is Brazil had some of the biggest stars in the game during those commercials. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo etc. Germany doesn't have those kind of names. Also, after that WC win in 2002 they haven't fielded a side that looks like it could win a WC. So they got money and now nearly 20 years of an average national team. Their best result in that time period is coming in 4th at the 2014 tournament in their own country.
Which is trash, sorry mate! The german philosophy is just different....be as humble as possible and put ALWAYS the team in front! Of course, they hadnt had as many OFFENSIVELY INDIVIDUAL stars like Brazil, but you're a hater, if you tell me, that Neuer, Lahm, Podolski, Klose, Schweinsteiger, Ballack, (Jerome)Boateng, Thomas Müller, Mats Hummels, Toni Kroos, Mesut Özil, Sami Khedira and many more weren't stars. The main difference is, that Nike, as mentioned in the video, promotes the individual player, which often promotes himself as well(as CR7, Neymar, aso) in stark contrast to Adidas, which promotes especially the german national team in a different and lower way! As well as the german players just normally have the character to promote themselves via behaviour and appearance, besides of course Ads! Greetings from Germany :)
I think what most people who are not from germany dont understand are the insane feelings that are associated with football in germany. its hard to explain really but its the same reason why we dont want our clubs to become puppets of countries or billionaires like city, chelsea and so on......football belongs to the people, at least thats the main thinking in germany.....adidas has a different standing then nike, it feels more like a capital(NIKE) driven move rather then beeing driven by emotions(ADIDAS) if that makes sense.....really hard for me to find the right words in english tbh..... its justified that the DFB took the nike deal on a financial basis, no discussion there, but its still extremly sad for me as a german to see this happen.....we just managed to stop the investment of an american company in the bundesliag itself and now this, just 2 months before the EUROS.....sad but still acceptable......dont think the DFB will do a lot of good with that extra money tbh, so sad the biggest football association is beeing led by a bunch of noobs......
I’m 100% a Nike stan and tbh am not big into futbol but this really just seems wrong. I sympathize with the whole of Germany right now. Especially considering how Nike treats its own national club, like an afterthought. Although I’d imagine at this point they’re paying DFB more to outfit that team than they’re paying the USMNT
How about you guys stop importing our LNG too. I do understand your Anti American bias tho, when I see VW driving on American roads and think of the German "nahh-ccc's" it pisses me off. How can a company complicit in the murder of 7M innocent people be allowed in America. BTW, I hope it was us who deleted Nord Stream. Arm up and good luck, "winter is coming".
@@christopherjones8367 You don't understand public corporations. There is no emotions, sole goal is to make money. Doesn't matter its Adidas or Nike or insert any other brand. And same goes for DFB. If USMNT was as valuable as DFB Nike will pay them readily.
@fabianblumcomposer9972 yh, it's important to understand context. And Merz has always been a deluded brat who can't think forwards and see where the wind is blowing..
It's Great to see many Germans saying it's sad that their team is not having a company of their nation as the kit supplier. Meanwhile, In our country, we don't even have a kit manufacturer 1/10th of Adidas value..
As a German football fan, I have to say that I understand their reasons for accepting the offer, of course, because they urgently need the money and simply have obligations to finance the youth academies, for example. And yet my heart is broken as a fan. I've owned countless Adidas Germany jerseys, tracksuits, sweatshirts and so on from literally every generation that has been released since I could chase a ball. My love for football was born at the home World Cup in 2006 and finally at the World Cup win in 2014, and Adidas has always been closely linked to those memories for me. It's an inseparable partnership, or at least it was meant to be. And as of today it's very difficult or even impossible for me to imagine ever buying a DFB product without the iconic the stripes on it.
Even a German basketball legend like Dirk was with Nike and some of the current Germany player in the NBA like Daniel Theis and Franz Wagner is with Nike. I don't have the current Adidas basketball shoes but in my opinion they look better than the Nikes and Jordans, also people said they perform better than those two. But we can't ignore the fact that they are lackluster in signing player, even Nike got Sabrina from WNBA and the fact that now LeBron is more cemented to Liverpool. Adidas can't even signed a former NBA Finals MVP and European superstar Nikola Jokic (he recently signed with a Chinese company 361⁰ after his contract with Nike), I imagine European would be crazy if Jokic had a signature shoes with the biggest European sports brand. Heck, even European stars are with another brand such as Giannis (Nike), Luka (Jordan), Markkanen (Nike), Sabonis (Nike), Gobert (Nike) and even the rookie sensation Wembanyama (Nike). Meanwhile Adidas signature athlete are all American (Lillard, Mitchell, Rose, Harden, Edwards,Young), which Americans are leaning to buy Nike anyways.
I dont think this saga is over. The new deal basically starts in 2027 (a very long time from now lol, a lot of things will happen before then) Adidas could easily have this deal questioned in the legal sphere. Backed by German political bigwigs and other influential people, i wudnt be surprised this nike deal gets terminated before they even have the chance to put the swoosh logo on the classic German shirt.
Nike saw the opportunity to sponsor the DFB with twice the budget Adidas was willing to pay and they won. Nike may not be the best in kit designs but they're kings in storytelling and marketing for their athletes and teams.
As I recall in the 1960's 70's and early to mid 1980's it was PUMA and Adidas that controlled not only German soccer but international soccer in general considering the fact that Eusebio, Johan Cruyff, Paul Gascoigne, Lothar Matthaus, George Best and the 2 greatest players in football history, Pele (through the Pele Pact) and Maradona were sponsored by PUMA
Call me a Boomer but this is a bigger disgrace to German Football than our downfall after the 2014 World Cup. Germany and Adidas belong together like Christmas and Santa Claus, Tom and Jerry, Phineas and Ferb. We wouldn't be in this situation if the DFB wouldn't have blown out hundreds of millions Euros for a prestige HQ nobody needs. That's just besides the fact that Nike Jerseys are uninspired, soulless trash of awful quality.
In this respect, the DFB did not behave respectfully towards Adidas. However, I don't think Adidas would have made a counteroffer that was twice as high as their own (55 million). Adidas was probably too sure because of the long time with the DFB.
Adidas took the DFB for granted and believed that Germany will never accept an offer from a rival (even Puma) even if the rival offer is financially better for 'national pride' reasons. The offer Nike had put on the table was significantly bigger than what Adidas was wanting to shell out and was impossible to refuse. We should not forget the underhanded tactics like government officials intevening to push the DFB accepting offer from Adidas which were of LESSER value than what Nike was offering. This is karma years in the making and Adidas can blame no one but themselves - the DFB did nothing wrong.
I feel like it’s going to backfire massively though, people in Germany don’t want Nike shirts which make terrible kits anyway. From a marketing standpoint it just makes no sense to pick someone like Germany whos people have been so used to wearing Adidas for so long. Interesting to see shirt sales and how the public reacts to these jerseys, Nike is playing with fire here..
It will be a great if you make a full video covering pros & cons of about American College football. I am very curious to know about this, how does it works, it's economy, it's expenditures, & etc. Please🙏❤
Another example how the US is controlling every single aspect in Germany's life. We speak their language, we moan in their language when getting nailed, we hear their music, eat their food, wear their clothes, admire their muscle cars, visit their country and so on and so forth...
Its quite Disrespectful to Adidas what Germany has done. But recent years have shown Germany cares more about Profits and political messaging than tradition and performance on the Pitch Wiedereinmal enttäuscht uns "Die Mannschaft "
Recent news suggests that there has been a discussion about changing the team’s nickname due to a series of underwhelming performances, including a second consecutive group-stage exit at the World Cup
So ein müll. Der dfb braucht geld. Allein im jahr 2021 hat der verband 30 Millionen Euro verloren. Wärs dir lieber das nachwuchsleistungszentren geschlossen werden oder dem amateurfußball Leistungen gekürzt werden müssen weil sich der dfb die sachen nicht mehr leisten kann?
Quite the opposite, I think. Adidas has let a bunch of shirt deals with smaller to medium clubs (also a significant amount of german teams) run out and decided to only pursue the biggest in the business. This is fine in itself but then offering less than half of what your main competitor does, is a thing I just can't wrap my head around. Besides, the only political messaging brought into that decision is coming from people who would rather want the DFB to have stayed with Adidas. The change to Nike was a sound financial decision without political implications
do not worry, Nike is all about the show off and nothing else. As soon as the DFB realizes that Adidas was technologically advanced than Nike, they would not take time to tear up the Nike contract. Moreover, once a Adidas is always an Adidas
@@jpsion I can understand and that's why I said that Nike is all about money and showoff. They do not care about their other athletes except the top ones.
Surreal to think of the German National Team not wearing Adidas. But then again, Brazil lost Nike. Who knows? Maybe Adidas could reunite with Brazil in the future? The Brazil Adidas kits in '78 were nice!
“Adidas is about the product.” “Nike is about the top player and the marketing.” As someone involved in managing brick and mortar soccer specialty stores from 2002 to 2012, Nike does not care about the quality of the product nor your opinion on the product. Nike had the highest return of products for defects, the most laborious returns process, and the highest rejection rate of those valid return requests. Good luck to the DFB and explaining to the masses that taking the money was worth it when the party that pays the price for defective products will be the fans. I thought Germans took pride in the craftsmanship and quality of a product, guess we are living in different times…
Lol the difference is that Nike would NEVER allow themselves to get outbid by Adidas for the US national team. I still can't fathom that Adidas didn't put up an insane amount of money to keep supplying the German team. Adidas and the German national team have always been synonymous and it's actually crazy to think they lost that deal.
7:47 shows what is wrong with the world nowadays. One brand is known for quality products, the other for marketing athletes. And somehow the marketing company has a way bigger budget available
Adidas just missed out on Barcelona who were looking for a new apparel supplier, but Nike improved their offer. I doubt Nike will let go of Barca, PSG, or France any time soon
Nike will quickly find out Germans are not too happy about the deal. Which can be traced by the number of kits sold. It will only be a fraction of the amount Adidas sells every year.
I am a Non German ( Bangladesh) , i don't even support German Team, but really loved all the Addidas German Jercy... Its actually Unbelievable ... This is April, may be German Football Federation made a April Fool joke 🙃
It's kind of sad that none of the big german sportswear companies is sponsoring the national team of germanys biggest sport anymore. Because having the brand in the country also means the money is circulating within the country. With Nike the national team might get more money to get the players for the big cups. But i highly doubt Nike is as invested in the small and average german football clubs as Adidas is. Also while Adidas provides shoes for 75 years, it's not until the 80th that adidas made the sportswear.
Wait till there is a crescent moon on the German flag. How many national flags have you guys had in the last 150 years? How many are rightfully illegal to display....
1:48 The 1974 jerseys were actually from ERIMA, another traditional producer of sportswear from Germany. adidas didnt have quality jerseys at that time and just bought from ERIMA and rebranded it. The 1954 jerseys were from Leuze. Lot of people don't get all the facts right before participating in this discussion 😅 Imo it's sad that they went for the NIKE deal but every other decision would had been financially unreasonable. And NIKE is of course proud to finally get that deal.
Because they decided to just do it.
Hahahahhahq ...god one mate
That sounds familiar. 🤣where have I heard that?
Yup
Good one haha
After all impossible is nothing
lol imagine being the account manager at Adidas having to go into a board meeting saying you’ve just lost the German National team 😬
Executives initial reaction anger, shouting "How?". Guy goes "Sir, Nike offered double" and then just silence in the boardroom.

@@batuksri Erima is a German brand, so it's not really that big of a deal. If they switched to Puma, nobody would make a fuss as it's also a German brand made by the brother of Adidas' founder.
I'm supprised that no one is mentioning that Nike is positioned very well to become a monopoly in the sports ware space, and that outcome will definitely not be positive for the fans or the teams, and organisations that they sign contracts with. We can already see the ways in which Nike has used their position to dilute and damage the images of sports teams and leagues in the US. The abysmal NBA jurseys for example, which are poor quality and suffer from frequent tears, and where they have flooded the market with so many alternate and anniversary jerseys. I hope that we can all see and notice the ways in which Nike has already begun cutting corners and that they will only do so more agrresively once they control even more of the market.
Then small, better brands like New Balance and Under Armour will come up. Don't worry.
Don't forget Nike taught us all a valuable lesson when they persistently implied the majority of us are racists.
@@swagatpatra2139that's the worry, these are great brands but they can't compete with the biggest ones. NB produced some great Liverpool kits but couldn't keep up with Nike's offer. Kappa made stunning kits for Italy and eventually lost the deal to Puma.
Nike make good looking jerseys. They outsource the jerseys to the jersey makers(Fanactics). Fanatics have ruined the Jersey making industry
@@swagatpatra2139
Those are NOT _better_
What a clown
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
It was shocking to imagine German national team without Adidas kit even for a non German like myself ( I'm South African) atleast if it was Pumas it was going to be understandable it also a German sports brand
But nonetheless Nike is about to lose France, Brazil,Portugal and Barcelona so here's an opening for Adidas
I'm also South African
I don't think Adidas will suit Barça
Puma will
Barca and Adidas is like Nike and Germany. But Brazil, France X Adidas is gold for adidas.
Why is Brazil leaving nike
Ikr when I saw the title I assumed they switched to Puma, but woah it’s Nike.
Its easier for the CBF to cease to exist than Nike to left them
I hope the DFB returns to Adidas or goes to Puma in 2034. These trends (replacing our European products - cars, clothes, parfumes, machines with American and Chinese ones) should stop if we want to have adequate economic growth and stability!
Won't Germany have bigger problems come the end of this decade than what shirt 11 dandies are wearing? Where are you guys going to get your cheap energy now that German politicians are no longer colluding with Putin?
Then pay for it. This is not anything new, Adidas got away with not paying market rate for so long, they almost lost the German team in the early 2000’s. Should have been prepared for a battle like this. Unless they don’t have the money, which is apparently the case.
"F1 and RedBull" oh come on 😩
F1 and Marlboro xD
Thought exactly the same lol more like F1 and Ferrari
Yea...
This channel obviously has love for Nike.
About Germany switching to Nike, it s Business, simple as that.
you're right there...and that's the problem...It's just about money and we german /european fans should have found a compromise or fought against it, but the Premier League just looked too good as a money machine that many other leagues and clubs couldn't withstand! But yeah, we germans have to find a way to accept regional, non-autocratic, non-political sponsors as money-donors unlike many top-clubs and unlike the premier league aso! Greetings
as a german i think its very sad that we sacreificed that tradition.
If another company offered to double your salary, you would atleast consider it lol. Highly doubt that the nike deal is sooo different from the adidas one, the DFB went with the money. It's basic math.
@@StillAwesome21 the thing is that they didnt even give adidas a chance to give them a better offer. They could've said to adidas: "Hey we have this offer from nice. Do you have a better or nearly same one?" But they didnt.

@@mountaindew3201i was there actually its not true
@@POONANI-m2r u weren’t there. They adidas released a statement
„Three more world cups followed in adidas shirts“ That is not true. The 75 years partnership refers to the shoes. Until 1963 leuze was supplying the kits then umbro. Erima was supplying the kits for the world cup 74 and 78 while adidas gave them jackets shoes…, but adidas bought erima in 1976. The stripes and logo are only on the shirts since 80s.
Its because of that common misconception that the whole thing was such a big deal in tbe first place.
You are right, would have been better to say "three more world cups followed with Adidas as a partner". Thanks for the correction :)
Before the 1980s, Adidas was not the official kit supplier for World Cup teams. Teams like West Germany wore Adidas shoes and had Adidas as a sponsor, but other companies supplied the kits.
In the 1970s, Adidas acquired Erima, which supplied kits for the World Cup before Adidas branding became prominent on shirts.
In the 1980s and onwards, Adidas began to feature its logo and the iconic three stripes on official team shirts for the World Cup.
Adidas' involvement with the World Cup spans many years, but the distinct branding with the three stripes and logo on team shirts started to consistently appear from the 1980s onwards.
Prior to this, while Adidas may have been involved through footwear and sponsorship, the kits were not branded as Adidas.

The problem is Brazil had some of the biggest stars in the game during those commercials. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo etc. Germany doesn't have those kind of names. Also, after that WC win in 2002 they haven't fielded a side that looks like it could win a WC. So they got money and now nearly 20 years of an average national team. Their best result in that time period is coming in 4th at the 2014 tournament in their own country.
Haven’t fielded a side that could win? They were the favorite to win the 2022 World Cup
@@OscarUnrated Amoung the favorites, Argentina and France where above them.
At least everyone on Brazil is a real Brazilian, whereas German players can't determine if their Turkish or German.
@@Napoleon-xp3sm Lol what? Brazilian players have roots in Portugal, Spain, Germany, Africa. Dumb racist comment.
Which is trash, sorry mate! The german philosophy is just different....be as humble as possible and put ALWAYS the team in front! Of course, they hadnt had as many OFFENSIVELY INDIVIDUAL stars like Brazil, but you're a hater, if you tell me, that Neuer, Lahm, Podolski, Klose, Schweinsteiger, Ballack, (Jerome)Boateng, Thomas Müller, Mats Hummels, Toni Kroos, Mesut Özil, Sami Khedira and many more weren't stars. The main difference is, that Nike, as mentioned in the video, promotes the individual player, which often promotes himself as well(as CR7, Neymar, aso) in stark contrast to Adidas, which promotes especially the german national team in a different and lower way! As well as the german players just normally have the character to promote themselves via behaviour and appearance, besides of course Ads! Greetings from Germany :)
Brazil and France are about to do the same render strategy. Highest bid from the highest bidder.
I cant believe I didnt notice this was a German channel for so long despite being German myself 😅
I think what most people who are not from germany dont understand are the insane feelings that are associated with football in germany. its hard to explain really but its the same reason why we dont want our clubs to become puppets of countries or billionaires like city, chelsea and so on......football belongs to the people, at least thats the main thinking in germany.....adidas has a different standing then nike, it feels more like a capital(NIKE) driven move rather then beeing driven by emotions(ADIDAS) if that makes sense.....really hard for me to find the right words in english tbh.....
its justified that the DFB took the nike deal on a financial basis, no discussion there, but its still extremly sad for me as a german to see this happen.....we just managed to stop the investment of an american company in the bundesliag itself and now this, just 2 months before the EUROS.....sad but still acceptable......dont think the DFB will do a lot of good with that extra money tbh, so sad the biggest football association is beeing led by a bunch of noobs......
You should all collectively NOT buy any German Nike shirt to force de DFB to go back to Adidas as soon as possible.
I’m 100% a Nike stan and tbh am not big into futbol but this really just seems wrong. I sympathize with the whole of Germany right now. Especially considering how Nike treats its own national club, like an afterthought. Although I’d imagine at this point they’re paying DFB more to outfit that team than they’re paying the USMNT
How about you guys stop importing our LNG too. I do understand your Anti American bias tho, when I see VW driving on American roads and think of the German "nahh-ccc's" it pisses me off.

@@christopherjones8367 You don't understand public corporations. There is no emotions, sole goal is to make money. Doesn't matter its Adidas or Nike or insert any other brand. And same goes for DFB. If USMNT was as valuable as DFB Nike will pay them readily.

Ive talked with many germans who said they will not buy the nike kit. Which is why you're seeing surge in sales of this year adidas germany kit.
Friedrich Merz is not the vice Chancellor. He is opposition leader. Wrong picture 5:49
Pretty sure they did this on purpose as a joke because they are talking about people living in the past.
@fabianblumcomposer9972 yh, it's important to understand context. And Merz has always been a deluded brat who can't think forwards and see where the wind is blowing..
It's Great to see many Germans saying it's sad that their team is not having a company of their nation as the kit supplier.
Meanwhile, In our country, we don't even have a kit manufacturer 1/10th of Adidas value..
As a German football fan, I have to say that I understand their reasons for accepting the offer, of course, because they urgently need the money and simply have obligations to finance the youth academies, for example. And yet my heart is broken as a fan. I've owned countless Adidas Germany jerseys, tracksuits, sweatshirts and so on from literally every generation that has been released since I could chase a ball. My love for football was born at the home World Cup in 2006 and finally at the World Cup win in 2014, and Adidas has always been closely linked to those memories for me. It's an inseparable partnership, or at least it was meant to be. And as of today it's very difficult or even impossible for me to imagine ever buying a DFB product without the iconic the stripes on it.
If Nike would have wanted to do something for Germany, as you said, they should start to pay their taxes here.
Even a German basketball legend like Dirk was with Nike and some of the current Germany player in the NBA like Daniel Theis and Franz Wagner is with Nike. I don't have the current Adidas basketball shoes but in my opinion they look better than the Nikes and Jordans, also people said they perform better than those two. But we can't ignore the fact that they are lackluster in signing player, even Nike got Sabrina from WNBA and the fact that now LeBron is more cemented to Liverpool. Adidas can't even signed a former NBA Finals MVP and European superstar Nikola Jokic (he recently signed with a Chinese company 361⁰ after his contract with Nike), I imagine European would be crazy if Jokic had a signature shoes with the biggest European sports brand. Heck, even European stars are with another brand such as Giannis (Nike), Luka (Jordan), Markkanen (Nike), Sabonis (Nike), Gobert (Nike) and even the rookie sensation Wembanyama (Nike). Meanwhile Adidas signature athlete are all American (Lillard, Mitchell, Rose, Harden, Edwards,Young), which Americans are leaning to buy Nike anyways.
You living under a rock, tho. Big men have never sold shoes. The Anthony Edward's shoe is the best shoe on the market rn

Germany will never win World Cup again. Not until they'd go back to adidas.😅
I dont think this saga is over. The new deal basically starts in 2027 (a very long time from now lol, a lot of things will happen before then)
Adidas could easily have this deal questioned in the legal sphere. Backed by German political bigwigs and other influential people, i wudnt be surprised this nike deal gets terminated before they even have the chance to put the swoosh logo on the classic German shirt.
Nike saw the opportunity to sponsor the DFB with twice the budget Adidas was willing to pay and they won. Nike may not be the best in kit designs but they're kings in storytelling and marketing for their athletes and teams.
As I recall in the 1960's 70's and early to mid 1980's it was PUMA and Adidas that controlled not only German soccer but international soccer in general considering the fact that Eusebio, Johan Cruyff, Paul Gascoigne, Lothar Matthaus, George Best and the 2 greatest players in football history, Pele (through the Pele Pact) and Maradona were sponsored by PUMA
The reunion statement was hilarious.

Call me a Boomer but this is a bigger disgrace to German Football than our downfall after the 2014 World Cup. Germany and Adidas belong together like Christmas and Santa Claus, Tom and Jerry, Phineas and Ferb. We wouldn't be in this situation if the DFB wouldn't have blown out hundreds of millions Euros for a prestige HQ nobody needs. That's just besides the fact that Nike Jerseys are uninspired, soulless trash of awful quality.
10mins video to just one message
“We chose Nike because they pay more money”
In this respect, the DFB did not behave respectfully towards Adidas. However, I don't think Adidas would have made a counteroffer that was twice as high as their own (55 million). Adidas was probably too sure because of the long time with the DFB.
Adidas probably gave them last, best and final offer before Nike came in.
When you hear about F1, the first thing that comes to your mind is Ferrari, not Red Bull.
Adidas took the DFB for granted and believed that Germany will never accept an offer from a rival (even Puma) even if the rival offer is financially better for 'national pride' reasons. The offer Nike had put on the table was significantly bigger than what Adidas was wanting to shell out and was impossible to refuse. We should not forget the underhanded tactics like government officials intevening to push the DFB accepting offer from Adidas which were of LESSER value than what Nike was offering. This is karma years in the making and Adidas can blame no one but themselves - the DFB did nothing wrong.
I feel like it’s going to backfire massively though, people in Germany don’t want Nike shirts which make terrible kits anyway. From a marketing standpoint it just makes no sense to pick someone like Germany whos people have been so used to wearing Adidas for so long. Interesting to see shirt sales and how the public reacts to these jerseys, Nike is playing with fire here..
It will be a great if you make a full video covering pros & cons of about American College football. I am very curious to know about this, how does it works, it's economy, it's expenditures, & etc. Please🙏❤
Another example how the US is controlling every single aspect in Germany's life. We speak their language, we moan in their language when getting nailed, we hear their music, eat their food, wear their clothes, admire their muscle cars, visit their country and so on and so forth...
Its quite Disrespectful to Adidas what Germany has done. But recent years have shown Germany cares more about Profits and political messaging than tradition and performance on the Pitch
Wiedereinmal enttäuscht uns "Die Mannschaft "
Recent news suggests that there has been a discussion about changing the team’s nickname due to a series of underwhelming performances, including a second consecutive group-stage exit at the World Cup
So ein müll. Der dfb braucht geld. Allein im jahr 2021 hat der verband 30 Millionen Euro verloren. Wärs dir lieber das nachwuchsleistungszentren geschlossen werden oder dem amateurfußball Leistungen gekürzt werden müssen weil sich der dfb die sachen nicht mehr leisten kann?
DFB was never the same after that glorious night in brazil
Couldn't adidas just matched the offer?
There's another fitting German proverb. "Die treuesten Kunden sind die dümmsten."
Quite the opposite, I think. Adidas has let a bunch of shirt deals with smaller to medium clubs (also a significant amount of german teams) run out and decided to only pursue the biggest in the business. This is fine in itself but then offering less than half of what your main competitor does, is a thing I just can't wrap my head around.
Besides, the only political messaging brought into that decision is coming from people who would rather want the DFB to have stayed with Adidas. The change to Nike was a sound financial decision without political implications
I think we need to mention how good this video's commentary was. Simply top class. Keep up the great work
Thank you for mentioning it! 😉
Germany: We're dropping Adidas.
Nike CEO: Just do it.
“To become a true global brand Nike had to get into football” I love the sound of that.
do not worry, Nike is all about the show off and nothing else. As soon as the DFB realizes that Adidas was technologically advanced than Nike, they would not take time to tear up the Nike contract. Moreover, once a Adidas is always an Adidas

90% Football fans always will love German national team to wear adidas ….adidas is a proper sports brand but Nike now is just fashion brand
I’m English and This is an absolute disgrace. This should be a national scandal across Europe.
I am an Indian, but more loyal to Adidas. and I hate Nike.
Umbro was still in the early 90s the biggest supplier for football kits worldwide, not Adidas who was second.
Things changed in 94.
“Adidas is about the product.”
“Nike is about the top player and the marketing.”
As someone involved in managing brick and mortar soccer specialty stores from 2002 to 2012, Nike does not care about the quality of the product nor your opinion on the product. Nike had the highest return of products for defects, the most laborious returns process, and the highest rejection rate of those valid return requests. Good luck to the DFB and explaining to the masses that taking the money was worth it when the party that pays the price for defective products will be the fans. I thought Germans took pride in the craftsmanship and quality of a product, guess we are living in different times…
If Nike took German football, then Adidas should do the same thing as well. Get the sponsorship of the United States national team to be Adidas.
Lol the difference is that Nike would NEVER allow themselves to get outbid by Adidas for the US national team. I still can't fathom that Adidas didn't put up an insane amount of money to keep supplying the German team. Adidas and the German national team have always been synonymous and it's actually crazy to think they lost that deal.
7:47 shows what is wrong with the world nowadays. One brand is known for quality products, the other for marketing athletes. And somehow the marketing company has a way bigger budget available
Adidas just missed out on Barcelona who were looking for a new apparel supplier, but Nike improved their offer. I doubt Nike will let go of Barca, PSG, or France any time soon
As a German, none of us what’s Nike as sponsor that’s dogshit

Nike will quickly find out Germans are not too happy about the deal. Which can be traced by the number of kits sold. It will only be a fraction of the amount Adidas sells every year.

The topic we all been waiting for. Thank you
It's kind of sad that none of the big german sportswear companies is sponsoring the national team of germanys biggest sport anymore. Because having the brand in the country also means the money is circulating within the country. With Nike the national team might get more money to get the players for the big cups. But i highly doubt Nike is as invested in the small and average german football clubs as Adidas is.
Also while Adidas provides shoes for 75 years, it's not until the 80th that adidas made the sportswear.
I am actually looking forward to this. Guess Nike won't screw up their very first Germany jersey so I am excited with what they will come up

Sometimes, money shouldn't be the deal breaker. This is one of the times.
this is awful news, never would have imagined seeing a dfb shirt not from adidas...
Adidas hasn't been truly German for years it's a multinational concern now.
Not everything is about money. Some things like loyalty and heritage is far more valuable than money.
