By Nigel Simon.
17-Jun-2004 - The local football Federation has sealed a four-year US$1 million deal with Finta, to supply this country’s national teams with sports apparel.
The arrangement between the local federation and Finta, a leading Brazilian sports company, will see the disbursement of merchandise valued at US$250,000 per year for the next four years, with the uniforms to be worn by all of T&T’s national teams.
The teams include the senior men, Olympic (Under-23), Under-20 and Under-17 boy’s, together with the senior women, the Under-19 women’s squad, and the national men’s futsal side, the inaugural Caribbean Football Union Futsal champion team.
The deal was announced by Brazilian Irisleuton Bertolini, owner and chief executive officer of Finta, at a media briefing held yesterday at the Queen’s Park Oval.
The senior men’s team has already worn the new uniform in a 2-0 win over the Dominican Republic in last Sunday’s first leg Concacaf World Cup qualifier.
The sporting apparel to be worn by the local players include uniforms for matches, training, casual wear, travelling, t-shirts, bibs, track suits and sweat suits, football boots, track shoes, shin pads, goalkeeping gloves and captains’ armbands.
Other equipment supplied to the T&TFF by Finta are travelling bags, footballs, cones, saucers, ice coolers and medicine kits.
Finta also sponsors the Haitian national team, as well as Brazilian clubs Paysandu, Santa Cruz, Nautico and Botofago — to name a few.
In his turn at the podium, FIFA vice-president and CONCACAF president, Austin Jack Warner lashed out at local corporate companies, who he described as being lethargic when it comes to financial support to sport.
Warner was also critical of former national player Dwight Yorke and stated: “One of the errors of using the Tobago-born striker against Northern Ireland was that it was being played at a venue built in his name and yet he continues to show total disregard and disrespect for his country.”
While Yorke, the local television stations and corporate T&T came in a for some knocks by Warner, national coach Bertille St Clair was given a vote of confidence by Warner.
“Those who are not on board now will want to join in later on, but they have a next thing coming.
“We will like to see companies like Finta in with us from the start and, to coach St Clair, I will say also that I’m here with you for the long haul.
“These are times when you know who your friends are,” added Warner.
“Finta did not wait until the day the team becomes successful, but they came on board when the team is perceived to be down” Warner said.
Others in attendance were Kenny De Silva, the Carnival Development Comission chairman and former middle distance track runner, who is owner of Kenny’s Sports, which will sell the kits; Oliver Camps, president of the local Football Federation, and vice-presidents, Raymond Tim Kee and Lennox Watson.

Yeah the finta kit is fine. The men stick with us and bring us good luck so unless they want to take money from a bigger sponsor we should stick with them.

If we going the Wc that is the least of my worries.

-
agreed...the kit is the least of the worries...however since dem man ask....nike , puma, and even my favourite does have all de side lookin lke dey jes come orf an flikking copy machine...unless yuh have ah unique design such as Peru....again nutten wrong with de Finta kit.....dey small and dey design lil different .....plus nex year yuh dun know dey go have sumting nice for Germany.
-
Yeah ain't nothing wrong wit the damn kit, allyuh only bumpin allyuh gum because allyuh find it hard to get one but wait till next week, I bet yuh that yuh will have the options of the red kit, the white kit and they might even come out with a black kit too ? just like the BULLS :rotfl: :rotfl:
-
yeh tru the world cup kit will be differnt. and yeh boy would be good if they had a 3rd kit
-
I betcha we end up with Kappa ... just like the J'cans.
this is probably one of the uglier kits I've seen TT play in.
I'm all for bringing back Rossi.
I does still have shirts from Rossi and Flipper.
I agree with Rossi because they local. But, I doubt they will pay big money for that contract.
-
I say stick with finta, then next world cup NIKE ;D
-
Nah I say next should be UMBRO IF WE COULD PULL THEM.
-
If we going the Wc that is the least of my worries.
Don't you mean "When" ?
I'll certainly be getting a shirt for 2006 ;D
-
the brand doh matter. i doh care if we wear finta, puma, rossi, or something from the seamtress down de road as long as we in Germany 2006.
-
Only the brand on the field matters.
i agree though stay loyal to those that were loyal to you.
-
FINTA came in when nobody was there willing to sponsor us, they gave us the best deal, I believe I was one of the first to get the uniform in Trinidad as they were just unpacking them in the store when I begged the guy to sell me two for the WCQ against Dominican Republic in Manny Ramjohn. I say stick with them, however if we do leave them they should get some substantial payback. To me, ditching them after they invest in us and when it's time to reap the rewards we're leaving is a bit unfair, but that is how business is sometimes. However I have no problem with them, this might actually help to put their brand a bit more on the map.
-
i like the current kit, and the players seem to as well.
-
stick with finta, they stuck with us.....loyality
-
Loyalty #1.
Stick wid de Finta... Even when we were sponsored before, I doh belive we were getting training, casual wear, travelling, t-shirts, bibs, track suits and sweat suits, football boots, track shoes, shin pads, goalkeeping gloves and captains’ armbands.
Allyuh always bad talking the waggonist. If we jump ship now to another compan in come like the same thing.. We want who their through thick and thin, not just when we doing well. It is good exposure for Finta if we looking nice in the uniform. Next WC some big name countries will be wearing Finta...
-
its not if we jump ship, if another company came in and offerd to take the contract its then up to finta, they will be the ones makin money. anyway it was just somting i was tinkin of, i didnt know the history behind the deal. that they came in wen no 1 else wanted us, but it would help if they made more kits availible.
-
SINCE ALLYUH LOVE FINTA SO MUCH COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY IT TAKES THEM SO LONG TO PROVIDE US WITH JERSEYS.
THIS IS A BUSINESS AND ANYONE WHO THINKS THERE ARE 1.2MILLION TRINIS IS A ASS#@$ AND NEVER BEEN NOWHERE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THER ARE LIKE 10 MILLION AND WE NEED SOMBODY WHO COULD KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND AND IF ALLYUH TRUST FINTA THEN I BACKING THEM ALL DE WAY BUT IF THEY CANT PROVIDE AT LEAST 6MILLION JERSEYS IN NEWYORK ALONE. THEN WE HAVE TO MOVE ON
PLAIN TALK BAD MANNERS AND THIS IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS YOU IF ANYBODY GETS OFFENDED :beermug:
-
ADIDAS!!!!!
-
yeh im sure no other country in the world has problems to get jerseys. as for the away kit, i never actually see 1 in real life im startin to wonder if they make them ;D
-
I think if they should change kits, it should be with the new Joma ones. They outfit the Costa Rica team and the Honduras team. I've seen the new Honduras kit and it is really nice.
-
I agree a change a Kit is needed. I cah be repping in that Shit jersey. The thing flimsy , like 2 wash and it go rip up
Once they pick a decent design from a better known supplier. I showing you, Sales gonna go through the roof. We Trinis like we brands too much. It go inspire them men , when the put on a wikid jersey.
I aint go buy the Finta, I go wait for a next kit....4 2006 WC
-
Since we talking kits in this thread, let me ask this question...
why was it that Carlos 'Papi' Edwards was the only player with his name on his jersey, and only the one he wore in the 2nd half?
I only noticed that when watching the game a 2nd time.
as for Finta I feel Jack go honor the 4 year contract and give them their chance to shine on the world stage along with the Soca Warriors for stepping up and outfitting the fellas when they needed it.
-
Unless somebody buy them out
-
I agree a change a Kit is needed. I cah be repping in that Shit jersey. The thing flimsy , like 2 wash and it go rip up
Well the men who have actually bought the jersey say that the quality is good.
Also Finta will change the jersey if we make the WC. We have had this one for a year and a half now which is long for TnT.
And people will buy it. For all the brandsmen who wouldn't buy it there would be plenty people who just want to support the team and be a part of the band, look at the Rossi jersey from 1989.
-
Finta all the way.
Fuhget Nike...their Int'l unis is shit....all look the same.
I like the Finta and is good quality.
Now they ass better start supplying the blasted juzzy and dem faster so I cud buy the white one.
I see one on 2nd Ave in Miami Carnival.
-
i dont care if it was finta nike watever as long as it belongs to the team they wearin it so am reppin it proud ;D
-
Kit is Kit yes!!!!!
although i dont understand how when the team trains players wear all different brand shorts and socks.............keepers even train in other jerseys.............i mean Jack even played a game with an adidas shorts :o
-
Fuhget Nike...their Int'l unis is shit....all look the same.
I agree with you. The Finta not bad, but I had really like the Umbro jerseys we had a few yrs back.
-
i say,what eva kit we play in, as long as we reach, and cut somebody ass, its all good..fuh de 3 games in germany, we should play in 3 different kits.... dah go be sweet
-
do matter wat we wear as long as we play well & go on to win ;D
