The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - Shakedown! 13th January 2015

You're on a role. Always said I'd like Nike to be the sponsor of our stadium. Being named after the goddess of victory can't be bad.

White Hart Lane at Nike Stadium. Yes please.

 

[spursLA]

Careful. Take a look at the Oregon Ducks uniforms before you get too carried away with being Nike UK.

Nike hart Lane.


EDIT: Check previous page before trying to be clever you Dick!!!

Shows how big Harry's gob was.

I link his extended team to that.

There was quite alot of ITK before H, infact there was more recognised to be ITK i think you will find.

Such a random comment. Why would an American football Jersey have anything to do with a football kit?

Nike will have different divisions designing kits for each sport they supply.

Im not that bothered who our kits are by. I don't really like the UA ones but I'd prefer them to Nike. We'd just be another one of their clubs. With UA at least they are going to try and keep us happy.

Hmm, the deal with Under Armour began with the 12/13 season and was supposed to run over five years. Could it be a 3+2 year deal?

Some of you guys are taking my post to the extreme. I didn't say anything about signing British players exclusively, I just feel that we should sign more of them. Ben Davies and Eric Dier are the only two British players we've signed in the past 3 Summer transfer windows. I'm not against signing foreign players at all, I want the best players here irrespective of nationality but I feel that there are alot of British players out there who can offer just as much if not more than some of the foreign players we've signed as of late.

I don't have any problem with that, although ultimately I don't really care where they come from as long as they're good. However, for you to say employing foreign players goes against the history of the club was just plain wrong.

Ha! A Levy special!

FWIW I think anyone fringe not selected today must be going.
Be an interesting line-up.

I personally believe we can put a stopper to the shirt deal discussion. I have no doubts about the honesty & authenticity of the poster, but I do believe there is a form a mix up somewhere along the line. It simply doesn't make any sense to me to call off the UA-deal, it is quite beneficial to both parties in a way that a Nike-deal could not be, IMO. Nike is already big in Europe (almost with a better reputation than in the US, I find). UA's presence in the UK market is only down to Tottenham & Wales. Equally, for Spurs to be connected in the US to the quite highly regarded UA is a big advantage.

You do realise Nike is pronounced Ny Key so getting the full stadium naming correct could be problematic.

I know, the pronunciation always confuses me. Spike, mike, hike, but Nykey...

That, and everyone else would just call it the 'Pikey Stadium'

I'd be more worried about the name of the team, far more permanent. Is Emilio Estevez in a managerial role there?

Did you not listen to what I said ..

I repeat in shouty voice "KNEE KEY"

LOL

In America, but not in England. It rhymes with mike and bike here

It's the Greek name for their goddess of Victory. A lot older than the English language.

You are most likely quite correct, but I'm unsure whether that sorts out my confusion or not. The Greek pronunciation would be quite different from the English "Nykey".

Could call her by her Roman name "Victoria" if you want

In Ireland it is pronounced Nikey .. As in Nikey runners. Runners being the word for training shoes
