Out of the three brands, while adidas holds the majority of years being the kit provider at 15 (compared to 12 and 10), it is not half overall since we're talking about ~37 years in total. Furthermore, the only reason adidas has the majority is because liverpool went to them twice, though both times were for much shorter lengths than either umbro or reebok (especially the second reign of adidas which is only 6 years). Thus in spite of adidas being a majority, I don't think an argument calling it liverpool's "tradition" would stand.

Hope the money is spent wisely and not foolishly like with Caroll. American owners will probably pocket the money! sad to see adidas go although the £25 million sounds good.
