Li Ning - China's New Sponsor

[ants]

making rackets isn't rocket science anymore. China can make very high end products if buyers demand them. How fast LN want their products to reach yonex's level is largely a managerial decision, not a technological one.

I agree with you on this.

If I remember correctly, Li Ning's slogan "Everything is Possible" is quite similar to Adidas, "Nothing is Impossible". LN even cloned brand slogan.

look at these two logos

TSF-300A for Lin Dan? They forgot to make rackets for doubles

Look to me the LN Partner 33 is the YY AT900T's equivalent & LN Partner 22 is the YY AT900P's equivalent.

wow....LN migth land themselves trouble .....

Your source is good.

However, this still does not make much sense to me. Kason rackets are already battle-tested. LN rackets are still unknown, even on the eve of getting on the big stage. If they really want to use the LN name, they can always call it Kason by LN and market Kason rackets as the premium line of LN Badminton.

But to me I see Kason as a "average" brand.

Maybe they want to start their own branding , like yonex everyone sees them as the best brand ( the majority of people).

So I think it will be good that Li Ning is making their own brand - if they do it successfully it will join yonex in its "elite" status.

So far as I am concerned, it was Adidas copied Li Ning's slogan. Check the date when they released the slogans.

[Isegrim]

it would be typical chinese

Thank you Yonex for Research and Development, and technology in developing those products...LN will copy/clone and then sell them cheaper than Yonex, sponsor the CHN team and with the CHN super players wearing them winning the majors, the public will eventually embrace LN products. Cloning and copying CHN is not impossible, absolutely possible.

Li Ning is also into tennis kit...
