Liverpool Win Court Case Against New Balance; Reds Set for Nike Partnership

Liverpool won their court case against kit manufacturers New Balance on Friday, paving the way for the Reds to link up with Nike from next season.

Per Jonathan Humphries of the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool were keen to end the partnership with New Balance at the end of the 2019-20 season, when the agreement was set to expire.

However, the sportswear brand decided to take legal action against the Premier League club after allegedly triggering a matching clause in the contract that would prompt a renewal of terms.

Per Humphries, Liverpool "successfully convinced judge Mr Justice Nigel Teare that New Balance had no chance of matching Nike's distribution or marketing offers.
