Title: Pietersen leaving Adidas
Post by: DiscoStu on July 31, 2013, 11:04:57 AM

Is KP leaving Adidas at the end of the Ashes tour? Someone told me Spartan were keen to sign him up when his contract ends.

It really wouldn't surprise me if the likes of Spartan would want to sign KP. I couldn't see him with a conventional brand such as Gray Nics/GM anyway

If this is true I can see Spartan being another Woodworm...

looks as though they are trying to capture the best T20 players and stand out players from international teams such as gayle and Clarke which wouldn't surprise me if pieterson does move sponsor

I can't see pieterson wanting to leave Adidas personally.

He seems to like attending all the Adidas gathering and what not that means he can mingle with beckham etc.

a spartan gathering, sound like a Clark prior gayle bravo BBQ in aus!




If adidas want rid, well that's a different matter.


Add boom boom to woodworm to. Bankrupt by sponsorship!

I always forget about Boom Boom in these discussions, probably because they seemed to vanish as soon as they appeared!

There are certainly benefits to being KP and sponsored by Adidas. There would have to be some serious dollar involved to get KP. Not many if any who'd be able to break the bank

It was just a rumour I heard from someone who is apparently ITK (so probably b*****ks). As we all know, there is a huge difference between wanting a player and actually getting them.

I could see Adidas leaving the bat market in the UK but keeping KP on their roster as a clothes horse.

Pietersen has put an Instagram up with what looks like new Adidas stickers!
