Canada Soccer ushers in new era with Nike

[Regs]

Canada Soccer is pleased to share with you the momentous news that Nike will become the official footwear, apparel and equipment supplier for Canada Soccer and its Men’s and Women’s National Teams at every level.

This is a watershed moment for Canada Soccer and is further proof that Canada is a leading soccer nation, both on and off the pitch. The announcement is an example of the recognition of the accelerated growth and future potential of the sport in our country, which is due in large part to the dedication and commitment of the entire Canadian soccer community – players, coaches, officials, volunteers and fans - from coast to coast.

Nice!

I can think of a couple of people in the biz sweating over this one a bit...

Wasn't this a forgone conclusion when Alphoso showed up in the Nike ad?

I don’t think so @Dude.

Kawhi Leonard wears New Balance shoes, and does commercials, doesn’t mean the Raptors are going all New Balance as a sponsor.

Just because a top player wears a product I don’t think it means a whole club and/or country are gonna switch.

 

[Dude]

As usual, you are wrong and I am wright

 

[Yoda]

Um OK. And better hair too?

I’ll never win. It’s like having 2 wives.

 

[Dude]

Correct.
