[Archived] Nike Acquisition Of Umbro Complete

[PLZ Blue]

With Nike swallowing up Umbro, can we expect to see Rovers turn out in Nike gear from next season?

Opinions?

Discuss

[Ste B]

Nope, Umbro will function as a completely seperate unit.

We asked that question at the last fans forum.

Don't see why not, Accy Stanley do.

No.

They don't.

[Wolverine]

Don't Accy Stanley wear Nike?

[Ben-2000]

They did but it's 'Surridge' now

I was always under the impression that Accy Stanley wore Nike?

[S15]

Accy Stanley never wore Nike.

It was a government conspiracy. It's what they wanted you to think.

[CAPT KAYOS]

Nothing wrong with UMBRO products in my book - have always liked UMBRO and have plenty of stuf from them

I think what they did was buy a huge batch of nike shirts in the club colours and then had the club badge and sponsors put on it.

I am surprised we managed to make it all the way to March this year without mentioning Nike and Accy Stanley together. Well done people! Roll on 2009!

The worst thing is, I still don't really understand the context of the argument! I think the argument actually started before I joined the board - about five years ago!

I just enjoy getting in on the bandwagon...

Really?

Perhaps its time to argue that the kids in the Academy don't get a good enough chance?

PS I thought Stanley played in red. Is nike a particular shade of red? You live and learn don't you!

What's the obsession that some people have with us wearing Nike kits
