Got yourself quite a roster Tom

yes mate, few helmets being seeded and trialled currently around the globe! ;)

Gaining access to the aforementioned players was obviously a major attraction to the link up so fingers crossed we can get the product onto their heads.

Any news on what bat he'll use from their range? Or what stickers he'll have on his bat made elsewhere :)

not sure how much i can say at this stage tbh as its obviously only just hit the public domain via his twitter feed and the adidas cricket fb page is yet to make any official announcement which will prob shed some more light on the subject.

Thanks Tom, i'm guessing at a new range for him then :)

Great player to have on board...well done Adidas!

it will be the adidas ST range i think. thats what raina and bravo are using anyway
Title: Re: Kohli Signs with Adidas
Post by: sgcricket on October 03, 2013, 02:34:36 PM
but definitely a great signing. who is nike going to replace him with?

The pictures suggest that this is a new range, as the stickers on the side of the bat are different to other Adidas bats by the looks of it.

The bat in picture is the profile which kohli uses currently with Nike Stickers

I saw Kohli using a MRF bat in the NKP Challenger Trophy !

Just heard this morning that Kohli has signed with MRF
Title: Re: Kohli Signs with Adidas
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 07, 2013, 10:58:12 AM
Correct, they have come in for his bat and softs from what I understand whilst adidas have him for footwear and hopefully a helmet too :)

That's a shame, as I think to have had him kitted out with Adidas through and through would have been great for the brand. Reports are suggesting he is set to become one of the highest paid sportsmen in the world, eclipsing even the $31m MS Dhoni is said to be earning each year!
Title: Re: Kohli Signs with Adidas
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 07, 2013, 11:08:23 AM
yes i think there was some serious money involved with MRF landing the bat/softs deal!!
Title: Re: Kohli Signs with Adidas
Post by: iand123 on October 07, 2013, 11:29:16 AM
So he'll be using MRF bats and softs. WHat exactly will he be wearing of adidas (shoes?)
Title: Re: Kohli Signs with Adidas
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 07, 2013, 11:32:28 AM
Shoes, clothing and hopefully a helmet :)
Title: Re: Kohli Signs with Adidas
Post by: iand123 on October 07, 2013, 11:45:01 AM
Right ok, clothing i assume is non cricket clothing?
Title: Re: Kohli Signs with Adidas
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 07, 2013, 11:46:42 AM
i would think it involves both on field and off-field clobber

India will wear Nike playing gear won't they?
Title: Re: Kohli Signs with Adidas
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 07, 2013, 11:57:19 AM
yeah playing shirt wise so you can imagine what kind of friction that has prob caused between the 2 companies...top half Nike bottom half Adidas!

Not surprising at all if friction started, especially when Nike India were really pushing the shoes for the national cricket team. The dominates and accelerator shoes were even branded in the Indian colours.

It'll be for his troosers too.

Surely a player cannot wear an Adidas Indian shirt and Indian nike trousers? Or have a missed something?

what brand is the shirt?
Title: Re: Kohli Signs with Adidas
Post by: Alvaro on October 07, 2013, 12:44:22 PM
Nike too - you can see a bit of the swoosh on his right arm

It's taken Adidas long enough to get a little logo stitched into his ropey old pads!

Just heard this morning that Kohli has signed with MRF

Was just about to point this out, as he used a MRF in that special innings v Aus

Did MRF simply outbid Adidas?
