Liverpool sign new kit deal with Nike
LONDON • Premier League leaders Liverpool have signed a multi-year deal with Nike, reportedly worth £80million (S$142 million) annually, as their new kit supplier from the 2020-21 season to replace New Balance, the club said yesterday.
The Reds' managing director and chief commercial officer, Billy Hogan, called Nike "an incredible partner " and said the brand "reflects our ambitions for growth".
Last year, Liverpool were taken to court by New Balance, their partners since the 2015-16 season, claiming it should have been allowed to match Nike's offer, but a judge ruled in favour of the European and world champions.
