Flamengo terminates agreement with Nike - Zibb.com

Brazilian football club Flamengo announced on Tuesday that it terminated the agreement it held with U.S. headquartered sportswear and equipment supplier Nike.

"Flamengo regards the agreement with Nike as terminated. Now we will wait for the lawsuit," said Michel Asseff, the club's attorney.

According to the club, the relationship with the company has been harmed by a series of events. The most recent one was the fact that Nike released a special jersey to celebrate Flamengo's 2008 state championship title before the tournament's final game took place.

Despite Flamengo's 3-1 victory over Botafogo on Sunday, the club did not approve of the supplier's attitude in the episode, and notified Nike of it.

"That was something very serious, which offended our principles, the sport's principles, and Flamengo is not an arrogant club," stressed Asseff. What Nike did was to patronize Flamengo's adversaries. We do not want business with them anymore."

The attorney added that the team could possibly wear an alternative uniform, different from the one designed by Nike, in the Libertadores Cup's quarterfinal rematch against Mexico's America on Wednesday in Rio.

"The decision concerning the uniform on Wednesday is on the board of directors, but I do think there is the possibility of an alternative uniform," he highlighted.

U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Team, New Team Look to Be Introduced to Fans and Media In NYC On June

NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE)

WHAT:       On Monday, June 30, the United States' top basketball
            players, including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo
            Anthony and Dwyane Wade, will assemble in New York City to
            take part in an unprecedented fan celebration and
            unveiling of the Men's Basketball Team that will compete
            for Team USA at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

            Led by head coach Mike Krzyzewski, Team USA will gather at
            Rockefeller Center's famed ice rink for a team
            introduction that will feature all 12 members of the squad
            that will represent the United States this summer. The
            event will be hosted by TV personality Kevin Frazier.

            During the event, Nike will also unveil Team USA's new
            Swift System of Dress basketball uniform. The new Nike
            designed uniform eliminates 24 centimeters of material and
            reduces the weight by 31 percent. The uniform also
            features Nike Aerographics, an engineered mesh providing
            zoned cooling that reduces up to half the yarn, making it
            more lightweight and breathable. An exclusively designed
            "We the People" graphic, inspired by USA's rich history,
            is also integrated into the uniform.

            In addition to Team USA's uniform design, Nike will
            showcase the USA Nike Hyperdunk colorway. The Nike
            Hyperdunk is 18 percent lighter than the average Nike
            basketball shoe and is the lightest and strongest
            basketball shoe Nike has ever created. Key products
            inspired by the USA Basketball uniform and Hyperdunk
            footwear featuring Flywire technology will be available to
            consumers beginning July 26th.

WHEN:       Monday, June 30
            12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
            Media check in at the top of the steps to the ice rink
            begins at 11:30 am

WHERE:      Rockefeller Center Ice Rink
            30 Rockefeller Plaza

MEDIA INFO: Media availability for Team USA will take place from
            2:30 pm until 4:30 pm at the Plaza Hotel. Enter on 58th
            Street. Media check-in for interviews at the Plaza begins
            at 1:30 pm. Players will NOT be available individually,
            but in pool sessions. To view the entire USA Basketball
            player roster, please visit www.usabasketball.com.
