Please...you simply cannot blame a seperate entity such as Nike for proposing new products for the purpose of trying to make a profit with product differentiation. The final decision rests on the shoulders of our directors and if Nike fails to comply they are breaching the terms of the contract. Blaming Nike for offering a new product and not our directors for accepting the deal is similar to blaming a gun manufacturer for the murder of the man you just killed.
That said, Nike is indeed a despicable company and their products are as cheap as the knockoffs found in China Town Manhatten. Them, along with Tamoil, really give our jerseys a little shade of uglieness.
I didn't say our directors would have no power or blame Andy
, but you gotta think that Nike, although doesn't have formal powers, have quite an influence...coz we are stuck with them for 12 years (if Im not mistaken)....
So what Im saying is if I killed some one because my manufacturer wanted me to and they would be less willing to ship me more guns (which I need to protect myself from the waking zombies at the Delle Alpi pitch) in the future if I don't
But seriously, we'll have to see whether the Directos conceed or not...like our red shirt perhaps...I would really hate to lose our stripes...but I guess a fair argument would be that Juve didn't start off as the stripes team anyways..
