Leigh announce Reebok as kit supplier

[LeytherRob]

No idea how they’ve pulled that off but great to see us attracting a big global brand to SL

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Great news, clearly they have a marketing team that know what they are doing.

[Chrispmartha]

Good to see another recognised kit supplier on board, well done Leigh.

Really wish we could get Umbro back on board, some of their football kits are great.

Wait til the Cousins from across the pond become public

[binosh]

Apparently they loved Dereks posts on Twitter.

Fashion.

Reebok are a dying brand. Nothing wrong with them making the kit but it shouldn't be lauded as a big deal.

Reebok

Revenue: US$2.3bn

Yet another big name in American sportswear, Reebok was actually founded in the North of England in the late-1950s and used to feature the Union Jack flag in its logo. 

In 2005, the company was acquired by Adidas which opted to retain the Reebok brand name due to its historic reputation, before later selling it to the US-based Authentic Brands Group.

The Reebok Classic remains one of the most popular and recognisable shoes across all brands.

 

Yeah, sounds like it's dying to me..

 Was the first link when I googled "top sports clothing brands" I can post more if it he needs, but suffice to say he's very very wrong.

Exactly, "Historic reputation".

Nobody under the age of 50 wears reebok gear these days.

I don't even think it's a bad thing. If they make a smart kit then fantastic but it's not some milestone deal.

I think whoever came up with the observation that “some people aren’t happy unless they aren’t happy” probably spent a lot of time on RL forums.

So you think Oxen would be better then?

Haha. I didn't say that.

GQ seem to think your very very wrong. .

As do many other fashion sites, go look at the Reebok club C's for example, they're absolutely fashionable.

Don’t you remember the Oxen article in Vanity Fair?

I reckon there's a chance GQ will disagree with the comeback when Derek gets his leopard print Reebok classics out.

It is a milestone deal though, Reebok has the by far the biggest revenue of any kit supplier in UK RL, as is a globally recognised brand.
