Liverpool Win Court Case Against New Balance
October 25, 2019
Nike will be the official kit supplier of Liverpool Football Club from the beginning of the 2020-21 season.
This news comes after Liverpool were victorious in their court case against current kit suppliers New Balance.
New Balance took Liverpool to court after the club had agreed a new deal with Nike to start after the current season. However, New Balance argued they had a clause within the current arrangement that would allow them to match Nike’s offer.
The football club, meanwhile, believed that Nike could offer them far more exposure and create additional revenue in comparison to New Balance due to terms within the new deal.
