Adidas not doing bats.
« on: January 03, 2012, 05:47:33 AM »

Adidas I have heard (although I wont say its factual yet) are no longer doing bats as of next season.

Bell and PIeterson will no longer be using Adidas.

I think Tendulkar is still going to use an adidas bat,  but there not manufacturing them anymore

There is a new range for the 2012 UK season, but it could be for Australia. We will see though

quite ironic marketing for Adidas, KP and Belly don't use Adidas bats and S10 doesn't use Adidas softs, hopefully they might just go back to making shoes and we can get the England Team in some traditional cricket whites

KP will use either GM, GN, Kookaburra or Puma as other brands aren't big enough to afford him. I think Puma as he doesn't suit any of the other brands.

I'd guess Nike could afford him. But who would be willing to pay his high demands? His stock has fallen significantly since Adidas took him on.

I don't think kp would use Nike.
They only do bats no softs I think he'd want a brand that do the works ...

You really think KP cares about having matching cricket gear? It'll be who pays the most.

Contracts with Nike/Puma/Adidas also include leisure wear (a bonus)

Adidas renewed the England contract for teamwear in December
