*New! Adidas Badminton

[j4ckie]

You mean aside from it's DNA?



There's always a chance something will be successful and the powers-that-be can't completely explain why, but that's the exception rather than the rule. The idea is to minimise the chance factor and optimise the x-factor and what you can control, and hopefully at the end of the day the millions of bucks Adidas has thrown into the melting pot will magically multiply

I still think they need to sponsor the Korean team, but I'm not sure how you'd even facilitate such a thing considering their seemingly strong ties to Victor. It's not like China giving Yonex the middle finger and going with LiNing.

Korean team just prolonged their contract with Victor, probably for another 2 years....so no dice there I'd also dare say that it would've been too expensive for them, after all they ARE new to the market and other than Li Ning, they don't have the full backing of the entire company...

Adidas has sponsored Axelsen

http://www.badzine.net/features/adid...and-how/23687/

Q6: What will adidas strategy be in relation to player sponsorship and endorsement within Badminton and are we likely to see adidas get involved with major badminton tournaments as main sponsor?CD: Adidas has already moved into the player ambassador market. Viktor Axelsen, the 2010 World Junior Champion and current World No. 22 joins us in March 2013 as does Wing Ki Wong, current World No. 19, again only 22 years of age. In April 2013, we will welcome Nozomi Okuhara, current Junior World Champion and ranked No. 25 in the world. This team of “Young Gun” talent is the first of many which will showcase our products to the world. Specific to events, we are in very preliminary discussions with event holders and hope these will conclude successfully.

Such a strange language, English...

The "proper" British definition for the phrase "I'm all in" is...
"I'm exhausted" or "I'm just too tired to do anything else now" or even...
"I'm broke"

Now, if the Adidas sportsmen could just "go all out..."
