Did Adidas lose the German Football team's shirt deal because of a rapper? Kanye West's controversial remarks led Adidas to cut ties, impacting their revenues, especially with Yeezy shoes off the market. The German football team's poor performance also harmed the German Football Federation (DFB) financially. When the DFB opened bids for kits, Nike seized the opportunity and offered twice the amount that Adidas did. The result? The DFB terminated an almost 80-year-old relationship with Adidas in favor of a new 8-year deal with Nike. The move received heavy criticism in Germany, with some even calling it unpatriotic. What's your take? Did the DFB make the right call? #Adidas #Nike #GermanFootball #DFB #KanyeWest #Yeezy #Sponsorship #SportsBiz #FootballKit #NikevsAdidas #Sports #SportsMarketing #Branding #Sportswear #Marketing

When competition meets creativity, brands elevate the game! Here is a fine display from competing brands showcasing the power of moment marketing. adidas capitalized on Jude Bellingham’s stunning injury-time (90+5 min) overhead kick that kept England in the game during their first knockout match in UEFA EURO 2024, using an inverted logo to highlight the moment. Meanwhile, Nike Chile seized a moment from Chile’s match against Argentina in the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024, pairing it with a cheeky copy. This is how real-time sports moments become marketing gold! #MomentMarketing #SportsMarketing #Sports #Marketing

Perspective is everything! In this iconic photo, we see two football legends, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, together on the pitch. But, if we look closer, we'll notice something even more fascinating - a masterclass in brand sponsorship. Barcelona, Messi's team, is sponsored by Nike, while Real Madrid, Ronaldo's team, is sponsored by Adidas. Yet, individually, Nike partners with Ronaldo, and Adidas with Messi! This image highlights the power of brand awareness and the shift in focus from individual rivalries to brand opportunities. Kids see inspiration, adults see entertainment, but brands see walking advertisements! In today's marketing landscape, attention is the most valuable asset. Let's take a cue from this photo and recognize the potential for brand awareness and collaboration, even in the face of competition. #brandawareness #marketing #sponsorship #football #messi #ronaldo"

Football ads are the best.
England. 1996. The ball falls for Paul Gascoigne to score a golden goal but he just can’t reach enough to tap it in. England painfully exits. A story that has unfortunately repeated itself since 1966. But you only lose when you lose hope. And England never do. This time, hope's name is Jude Bellingham. For fans, it’s just “Jude”. Our first work for adidas football demonstrates how adidas have always been there, and always will be, to support the dreams and help rally a nation. Hey Jude, you got this.

🚨 **Newcastle United’s New Away Kit: A Masterclass in Nostalgia Meets Modern Cool** 🚨 I’m not a Newcastle Fan but Adidas has absolutely smashed it with the new Newcastle United away kit launch. It isn’t just a shirt—it’s a love letter to the club’s history, all wrapped up in those iconic maroon and blue colors that every Geordie knows by heart. But let’s talk about the video for a second. This is how you do it. They’ve brought back legends like Shay Given, Rob Lee, Ginola and paired them with our current stars, blending old-school vibes with fresh energy. The whole thing is pure genius. It’s not just about the kit; it’s about that deep connection fans have with the club—past, present, and future. Adidas has managed to create something that’s more than just a launch. It’s a celebration of everything Newcastle United stands for. The attention to detail, the production quality, the emotion—it all shows they really get what Newcastle is about. If you haven’t seen the video yet, trust me, you’re missing out. It leaves you with a real sense of pride in being part of the Toon Army. What do you reckon about the new kit? Does it hit the mark for you? 🖤⚪️ #NUFC #Adidas #Football #KitLaunch #ToonArmy #NewcastleUnited
