In 2016 Rafa Nadal + Nike = NO MORE!

Just went through the thread, it's hilarious to see a few Fed fanatics getting excited at the prospect of Nike cutting Nadal. what a bunch of obsessed haters lol.

It is hilarious that you didn't see that anyone here is discussing this purely as an interesting possibility and has nothing to do with hate.

:cool:

Just saw a pic of Rafa in Rio wearing Joma shirt ! Official brand for Spain Olympics ?

He was wearing Li-Ning in 2008 when he won gold. I'm guessing it depends on what brand the particular country is using for that year's Olympics.

Yes, that is correct. He is sponsored by Nike but is using Joma apparel exclusively for the olympics for Spain.

You must have people in the top 7 at NB. Be sure to tell everyone who questions you that you know, but don't ever provide any evidence.

Don't question my sources. I'm good friends with a friend of a former sales rep's dogsitter. My word is law and I'm almost always right.
The NB deal is happening. They even threw in a half-punched Starbucks card and a Stepbrothers dvd to sweeten the deal.

I have high up contacts in the Illuminati. They confirm that Fed is signing with UNIQLO and he is doing it to push their globalist NWO agenda.

I founded the illuminati along with Al Gore and Chuck Norris. Believe me, he'll be in NB by Wimbledon.

I like how every single prediction I ever recall from Babolast was having been told by "two people." :D

It's like two people (probably standing next to each other, one of whom found out from the other in all likelihood) is somehow a more compelling story.

FWIW, Nike reps don't know about top level contract negotiations until a few weeks or days before announcement. Large companies are like governments - they can't keep secrets. A couple of people can keep a secret but over about 10 people it's historically impossible. And the most critical people at Nike for the sort of negotiation and planning/factoring for a deal like Fed would never include reps.

So, this deal is probably long done. Whether or not it was really insider info from two people is whole another thing given so so many people seemed to know about the discussions at least.

I'm going down to my resident Nike store to ask them about Rog. They are bound to know whats going on, especially if the local rep is around.

So you are saying a rep in a department doesn't know if their biggest property is staying or leaving the company? Simply laughable.

Well, given they "knew" Djokovic was signing with Nike and Nadal was signing with Joma it's safe to say their track-record is usually about as reliable as a coin flip.
