"Joma" New sponsor for TM?

[AIrani]

Could you please clarify wtf you just said?

I would have explained it further, but I won't because of your foul mouth.

supply of original Joma gear (even with simple design) > fake uhlsport shirts (with cool design).
Uhlsport has failed miserably, they cant provide our national team with proper gear.
At the moment we just need a Company that are willing to supply us quality gear+enough material.

I hope that Nike will sponsor us. Recently they ve opened stores (Nike store) in Iran

Joma jerseys are verrry simple. Ours will be plain white with some red lines and fonts here and there. I like our cheetah ones now

Where I graduated wanted me to purchase their logo, shirts, etc. I purchased NOTHING from that school nor any other school.

I will never wear any team's shirts. If Iran is going to pay for the expenses of clothes, I would tell them to get lost.

Uhlsport was not known in Iran. Now many people know them and its logo was shown on world stage. This was excellent opportunity for Uhlsport.

Middlemen, coaches, Federation, etc., want a piece of the pie so to speak.

My solution. Choose a logo such as Majid. I would go with something like Persia or another IRANIAN name. Many Iranians would design the logo for free. Once the logo or design is decided, let Iranian manufacturers make the gear, not just shirts, but whole host of accessories. Many Iranians would participate in making this happen.

A reputable company if they have any value and respect for their name wouldn't go through a middle man in the first place.

That's another debate. I'm just stating the facts regarding our sponsorship, and people's crazy demands.

[Nokhodi]

Yes I know. But who knows what happened? With all the corruption there, someone could have replaced the authentics with fakes, and it could have happened at any level of the operation. All I know is that if I wan't Iranian and had a sports brand, Iran is not where I'd be looking to expand. It's simple math.

We should be happy with the free stuff we get, because now brands are telling us we have to pay the cost price for track-suits and other things.

You're being a bit unfair.
Uhlsport executives from Germany went to TM's camp before World Cup 2014 and realized most of the stuff Romario Sports was providing was fake.
How was that fair to TM? What kind of Quality Management System would allow that sort of sketchy business?

No, I didn't miss that at all. It's not relevant. Raising brand awareness is only effective if the sponsored party has a good brand image. Iran wearing a brand (unfortunately) doesn't do anything for the company's brand equity globally, because we are not opinion leaders, nor are we "in" or "cool".

When Brazil or Barcelona wear Nike, millions of people's perception of Nike is positively affected. But when Iran wears uhlsport, the average global consumer is not thinking "wow, Iran is wearing uhlsport, this might be a great brand".

uhlsport took their chances with Iran, and they were let down. They hoped to penetrate the Iranian market because the facts and figures (population 80 mil, lots of clubs, World Cup history, etc) gave them the perception that it's a market they could be somewhat successful in. The one vital thing that they didn't factor in was that Iran is one big black market.

I mean come on... there are countless stores/boutiques in Iran that have Gucci, Versace, and Prada logos on their windows and signs, but almost everything in the store is fake. Look how chic and fashionable Iranians are... walking on the streets of Tehran (and elsewhere), you see everyone wearing every high-end brand you can imagine lol... you think they're paying 300 thousand toman for a Lacoste polo with the wages over there?

Vahid Jafari risked his own business contacts/relationships to provide his country's national teams proper sports-wear, and all people do is talk shit about uhlsport, and demand adidas lol

unreal man, just unreal

wake up and smell the chayi darchin

You are missing out on a big point and that is brands getting more/or for the first time exposere At the world cup with 4 billion viewers and that is invaluable for their brand name.

I've always wanted to have a Team Melli training jacket. Wanted the red or green Uhlsport one but they were sold out in Iran. Only had an XL. And that jacket is sexy.

Hopefully it'll work out and we will sign with a good sponsor.

Happy Thanksgiving guys!

I have a Joma Sepahan jersey and it is not as good as the Lotto one I have. It is a little better than the Uhlsport one.

"J" is not pronanced as English "J" in Spanish... is more like "Yama"

You mean rather like "khoma"!

[Kavian]

This is a good sponsor for us as it kinda sounds like namaz jomeh.
