    SO I guess yhe next matter

    on the agenda for the new administration is the little one of securing a kit deal. Both Burrell and his right-hand man Horace Ried are currently in South Africa on FIFA and JFF business respectively...where Burrell says he hope to get the ball rolling on securing us a new kit deal.

    I am silently hoping for us to tie somwthing up with Puma. I believe of all the brands, this is perhaps the one that our Jamaican people identifies more with (half our ballers preffer to wear Puma boots, our track teams are currentlt outfitted by them too)...plus I find Puma apparel more appealing than say a Uhl Sport or even Adidas.

    puma already making "jamaican soccer" jerseys and have a "jamaica line" that seems to do very well.

        yeah....and where exactly did we get with lancera and uhlsport?

        puma has shown a willingness and has embraced the jamaica brand unlike no other apparel maker. don't forget adidas used to be our track and field kti provider as was reebok...none has stepped up the way puma did (i think thanks to merlene who had her own endorsement deal with puma long before).

          don't know... just know that both were not sufficient in meeting our apparel needs nor aiding in the arrangement of matches or subsidising those matches...

          gamma, yu have a point... howver puma's willingness is only that... a willingness... their embracing the jamaica brand is not unlike what adidas or nike are doing, just without jamaica official branding... it makes money...

          the past is to be recognised but the presnt and future is the focus of negotiation for a better contract...

            so my point is that the machinery is already in place...adidas and uhlsport were not prepared to spend the marketing dollars......puma has shown that it can and has done so....therefore if we do sign with them it seems to be more than a willingness.....if we don't then the marketing is gpoing to have to start from scratch and that is where we might lose out....we are ranked almost 100....how much bargaining power would we have for marketing dollars?

            adidas nowhere near puma with the jamaica branding...maybe it's copyright issues but i doubt it!

              I agree with you!
              I think Puma is a good fit!

                  gamma, i am not saying that we should not encourage a puma signing for our football... i am saying we should use the leverage we have with puma, already our t&f sponsors to get a favorable deal with anyone with an interest in being our football partner... in this instance it will be for the highest bidder...

                  the documented success of puma with the jamaica brand, is no secret... speculation, other sports marketing companies want to reap some of the spoils from an association with jamaica... puma success is evidence... the jamaica brand is stronger that many of us realize... don't look at the fifa 100+ ranking as a detriment... in marketing that would not be an overiding factor... its the brand appeal... culture determinant or driver is weighed heavily... jamaica has that significant advantage... difficult to put a dollar value on that...

                  one thing i am positive about... if the new adidas marketing had jamaica, or better yet nike, they would be way more aggressive in support and marketing campaign than puma could ever hope to be...

                              Didnt we hear that Jack and T&T had tried to or had succeeded in blocking Adidas from dealing with us?

                              Or was that a lie?
