If you're asking for the correct pronunciation it's addy-dass (after founder Adi Dassler). And while we're at it, the swoosh-sellers are Nigh-ky not just Nighk.

Thank the lord. Someone who knows this and seems to follow it.

I dare anyone, walk into a Nike offices and miss-pronounce the name and then call it s 'tick' not a 'swoosh' and you'll be hung by your balls :hang:

Sounds good for a wind-up. Anyone fancy it ??

If we got half a dozen up it'd be great fun.

Why the buggery ain't there any pics online of it yet? The online shop should have it even before preorders start tomorrow.

Want to see it not on a player.

It's referred to in marketing circles as selling the sizzle (or the snap, crackle and pop if you're Kellogg's). This product will end up on the backs of all manner of Boltonian scrote and on those of overweight, middle-aged types that should perhaps know better than to spunk £45 on an Adidas t-shirt that'll be landed on UK docks at a £1 apiece :oops:. You want to look like Chris Eagles, don't you? Don't you? (You probably don't but you take the point, no?)

Just for the record, not that I think I'm in any of the categories mentioned there you understand, my last two tops came courtesy of 1) Our sponsors offering a free one and 2) Premier League's "I know the score" game, which by din't of a fluke I won one month. Less than a quid for the pair. :-)

I'm uncertain whether I want the one with the staggeringly long right arm, or the one with the amazingly long left.

Especially as I'd prefer a short sleeved version.

This 'drum-roll ... Pause, delay ...' suspense laden marketing is actually fckg annoying to all but marketing men with drama fixations. I blame TV competitions ..... & Gordon Brown.

It has been noted when on licenced premises especially that your arms struggle to extend to the bottoms of your pockets. :P

I wanted one online. I expected it to be there to view to drum up desire to purchase on preorder today.

Not that i'd have spent more than a fiver on it though...

Gonna get a long sleeve version. Adidas has done outstanding for us this year across the board. Great job.

I'm sure BWFC like 'human waste product' colours.

We had the 'dipped in piss' kit a few years back, we've now got this 'wiped my arse light brown shit' goalkeeper kit. I'm awaiting 'I have just thrown up olive green' next.
