So it's Adidas for sure then.

Good news. Haven't liked a Reebok kit since 2005. 08-09 was truly the worst.

It must mean go on sale in June. What's the point in waiting so long. Sordell said he saw it a fortnight or so ago

I have a feeling we are going to overlook the simple clean nice looking kit and go with an ugly complex one.

That's the bitter voice of experience...

Well, slightly sad to see the back of Reebok, but also glad because they've come up with far more munters than seems fair.

Heard that our agreement with Reebok was the longest sporting arrangement in UK history!

regrettably, yes.

What happens to the ground name now ?

Ends at end of next season doesn't it?

I think somebody at Adidas said that they're (Reebok) keen to keep the branding on the stadium, but are moving away from football in terms of manufacturing.

We've had the Reebok long enough for it to not feel like a brand name

Do you think if they renamed it the 188 bet arena we'd have people grafittiing the reebok logo all over it?

Yes.

It'd be like the Gilette Cup (for the older ones). It was renamed about 4 tiumes, but still was thought of as that.

Bolton News reporting that we will have a Home, Away and Third strip out in June

None of the ones doing the rounds on the internet are correct according to them

It won't look that good.

If the teaser is anything to go by, it will be white stripes on blue sleeves. Hoping they put some red on though, it seems complement the kit very well.

Masterstroke from the club i think

I hate the reebok drivel thats come out over the years thats a lovechild of a pablo picasso artwork and sports direct

If the shirts good i will buy all of them for sure also the extra merchandise will look so much better and classier!

This i think will create alot revenue for the club but a sad moment for reebok but we as a club need to evolve and is a great moment i cant wait to see it

:conf: Have the club had anything to do with this?

I'd have thought this was pushed down from Reebok/Adidas more than anyone at Bolton thinking about fashion!

If you have £150 to spunk on footy shirts with summer around the corner, you're doing better than I am!!

I think both sides have agreed really but more of a push from the club, with adidas naturally you will sell alot more merchandise than reebok and will 'appeal' more to the fans and wider audience. This will help us financialy alot not just a better looking kit (but it helps)
