Town Return to Adidas - Ipswich Town News

Town have signed a new four-year kit deal with adidas, the manufacturers of the strips in which the Blues won the 1978 FA Cup and 1981 UEFA Cup. The arrangement with existing kit supplier Mitre is up this summer.

The new deal will see adidas become the club’s "official technical kit supply partner” from July 1st. Previously, the Blues wore adidas kit between 1978 and 1990.

"We are delighted to be working again with adidas, one of the biggest names in sport,” joint-managing director Ian Milne told the club site.

"They have a proven track record in producing quality sportswear and having spoken to Mick McCarthy and the players, I know how much they are looking forward to seeing next season’s new kit.”

Fellow MD, Jonathan Symonds, added: "Seeing our players wearing the three stripes again will no doubt rekindle memories of some great times in the past at Ipswich Town. Let’s hope there will be some great times ahead as well. That is what we are all striving for.”

Commenting for adidas (UK), Steve Holland said: "We are delighted to agree this partnership with Ipswich Town Football Club.

"They have a rich heritage with the adidas brand and having been part of iconic moments in the club’s past history, we are looking forward to more successes in the coming four seasons.”

The club’s director of retail operations, Lee Hyde, said: "We have been working on the new kits for the 2014/15 season with adidas for some time.

"I know that the fans will love what we have arriving very soon. The product quality is of the very highest standard. It is fantastic news to have adidas on board for the next four seasons.

"We’ll be confirming the pre-order and launch dates soon for both replica kits and the new training wear package.”

Town are expected to reveal the new home and away kits next week. The new deal will also see the club’s Planet Blue shop in the Sir Bobby Robson Stand given a makeover.

Earlier in the season Town gave a big hint that adidas would be the new suppliers by wearing their training gear after delivery of Mitre benchwear was delayed.
