Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAll this means is that the Eastside girls will now be called Thorns and will wear Nike kits, not Adidas. It's a chance for Nike to get a toehold in the TA clubs. All TA girls programs were offered this options. Most saw it for the ridiculousness that it is - Eastside is really going to expect every female player to buy an entirely new kit to be Nike, regardless of when their last kit was purchased. Just so they can call themselves "Thorns." Unbelievably stupid.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYour Eastside DOC may be telling you that but it's untrue. Clubs buy uniforms on an odd/even year pattern. So half of the Eastside teams were not due to buy uniforms this year but will be required to with this change from Adidas to Nike. But hey it's only money right?

Someone specify exactly the changes that will be made..
New name. New uniform.
Same coaches. Same fields. Same league. Same teams.
in exchange for
Thorns having access to fields that Eastside built for THEIR members in prime hours using half a field each team......
Thorns cutting the head off of eastsides teams every year gathering their players...
I suppose the new uniform is worth it..

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBetter check on that one. If Eastside's contract is up with adidas and adidas doesn't have first option for renewal, then the club can enter into a new contract with Nike. Thorns FC has a Nike contract. Eastside Thorns is not the same thing. All TA girls programs were not offered this option. Clubs know what a breach of contract means for them.
