Werder Bremen Sign Deal with Nike

Posted on December 31st, 2008 in Werder Bremen by Ben1991

German side Werder Bremen have signed a five year deal with Nike to manufacture their kits. From the beginning of the 2009/2010 season, Nike will take over from long term partners Kappa as the new Werder Bremen manufacturer.

“We are really looking forward to beginning our work together on 01.07.2009,” commented Werder general manager Klaus Allofs, having finalised the contract details with the market leader. “Nike stands for innovative products, great quality and absolute reliability.”

Michaela Stitz, Nike manager and representative for German speaking nations said: “Werder Bremen have been at the very top of the Nike wish list for a long time now. The club symbolises inspiring, attacking football, sporting success and true professionalism. With such attributes the clubs slots perfectly into the portfolio of clubs and athletes with which Nike works together worldwide. We are absolutely delighted about this partnership.”

Manfred Müller, head of marketing and management at Werder Bremen said that the long partnership between the club and current outfitter Kappa will come to a mutual and platonic end in the summer: “We had very fair negotiations with Kappa too, but in the end, Nike had the more attractive total package. Along with Kappa we set some real optical standards in the league and can look back happily on nine very successful years together.”

Details of the new kits wont be revelaed until this comming summer.

    I am in the “I like Kappa shirts” camp. Sure, they don’t fit well on the average, beer-fed lad like myself, but they are cut well for athletes and at least they do one thing: they keep the world from totally being dominated by Nike, Adidas and Puma.
