Puma New Kit Suppliers

So there was something in this after all! http://www.wfcforums.com/showthread....highlight=puma

Proven ITK again

"Both Watford FC and PUMA share similar values and we're certain our players and fans will embrace the new kit designs and wear them with pride."

In the interests of full disclosure, I used to work with PUMA across a variety of their workstreams so i'm quite interested by this decision!

This is interesting: PUMA values are taking part, but not necessarily winning... seems accurate enough to me.

PUMA tend to choose teams that they think could surprise people, they don't tend to go for teams that will always win, but those who might end up punching above their weight, again seems pretty accurate.

From a branding perspective this is great for the club and ties into the way PUMA go about choosing their partnerships, i'm sure it can only be a positive piece f0r business for the club.

PUMA risked a fair amount on the branding of Rickie Fowler on the USPGA Tour , Exactly how you have described it.

Blimey! So it's not corporate b0ll0x but a statement of fact!

I'm confused...somebody please call the nurse - I need a mood enhancer.

You forgot the bit about Puma being started by a nazi.

forget about being started by a nazi, the real crime is the use of words/phrases such as "workstreams" "from a branding perspective"
Anyone who uses management speak, or feels it is acceptable should be rounded up and put in some sort of camp

Shall I facilitate us touching base (always reminds me of touching cloth) and facetime vis a vis the paradigm shift of brand beaconicity going forward, going forward?

But what a twit he looks in those bright green and orange outfits! It certainly has helped their brand though, I see loads of kids now on the course in the big baseball caps that he wears.

I like your blue sky thinking. I'd really like to sit down with yourself and just have a brainstorm about our synergistic strategies regarding building a lasting corporate legacy which will permeate into a wider conciousness.

Moog, if you want to sit down with Cthulhu and look at a holistic approach to plucking some of this low hanging fruit then I suggest you take it offline, discussing Puma is the core competency of this particular thread

[cthulhu]

I, myself envision that Ron is also a product evangelist for this key stakeholder initiative like yourself Moog. I think we need to pre-plan (because MY planning usually happens afterwards) a whole raft of measures (not half a raft, not one quarter of a raft, but a whole one) so we can get all our ducks in a row and really drill down and not wrongside the demographic.

What's the flash-to-bang time on this?

You all disgust me

After scanning through this thread about clothing I saw the word 'nazi' and have decided to share the following useless information.

Hugo Boss, at the time a workwear supplier in Germany, tendered for the contract to supply nazi uniforms of various military corps in the 1920's.

Herr Boss was also a member of the nazi party.

That is all.

Many German Companies of long standing made a contribution in some way in WW1 and 2.

[ForzaWatford]

Fanta was made for Nazis.

I'm pretty certain they designed all of the SS uniforms.

No wonder they looked so sharp, if only more war criminals' uniforms were designed by fashion designers.

Wouldn't have been quits so sharp if Jean Paul Gaultier had designed them!!

Ha! Somehow I think they would lose their edge...

[El distraído]

Up until a few days ago, I though Puma were an Italian brand, so I was getting excited in thinking that Pozzo had demanded an Italian brand represent Watford, until I found out they were a German brand instead.

Oh well, German efficiency I suppose, never a bad thing...
