[Archived] New kit supplier

[Tom]

Absolutely love the new USA shirt from Nike and brazil and others have followed the same template as Nike tend to do

Give me that in blue and white halves with red detail and ill be one happy customer

[Cocker]

If they make a shirt with a collar and the sponsor isnt a sticker I will buy it.

[T.J.Newton]

I'm really not a fan(and wont wear) clingy feather light shirts, they look good on players, but on your average joe with an extra few pounds around the waistline(or a a skinny&boney body) there pretty ugly looking and also the static from them drives me nuts.

Who's good at photoshop?

Brazil 2013/14

I'm assuming they'll be generic Nike Teamwear designs that have been recoloured that the likes of Everton and all the Football League teams that have Nike kits use.

[K-Hod]

I don't think anyone has set this up as such, Umbro were a company of Nike anyway i think?

Sure Umbro have been sold on and Nike are taking up the supply of technical gear for football teams previously working with Umbro.

England kits also following this trend...

Correct. Nike own Umbro, and a few formerly Umbro sponsored kits are now going to be done by Nike- England, Citeh and now us.

[Derby Blue]

Haven't Nike just bought Umbro? I don't think it's been setup more really a continuation of the current deal..,

Nike have just sold Umbro last year

Thats why all the Umbro kit business is reverting to the Nike brand

I Stand corrected, old info and that!

[savage90]

Anyone know if you can get this years kit with the Probiz sponsor on?

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Their badge was up advertised in the club shop last Sat at the shirt/number counter, so I presume so.

[Hughesy]

Why do people always knock the club even on the small things? Its just a continuation??

No its a new deal that lasts for 3 years!

[Gav]

Another big step in the right direction as far as i'm concerned, well done to whoever it was at ewood that set this one up.

Couldn't agree more.

[alexanders]

Nike is boring.

[ChesterRover]

If its in the same style as Galatasarays current Nike shirt then I'd be very happy, that template could make a blue and white masterpiece

Couldn't give a crap which faceless, mass market multinational makes our kit as long as the shirt looks good. It all comes from the same Chinese sweatshop anyway.

Fully agree with that opinion. Any computer experts out there to oblige with a mock up?

[john.leigh]

Don't like the back view of the Gala shirt...

Not sure about the two-colour collar but could be persuaded.

Definitely not pleased with the back!

Would the original contract not have been with Nike anyway , on behalf of its subsidiary company Umbro? So in effect its an extension in all but name as its taking over an existing contract due to the sale of a subsidiary company as is the contract for the England shirts. Granted the people at the club must be given credit for getting the paperwork done and back in time but lets not go overboard in thinking that they went out and negotiated this deal with Nike whilst fighting off Adidas, Puma etc.

Now lets see if Nike can get the four quarters of the shirt in the right order

[Tom]

Pretty sure the original Umbro contract was until 2016 so Nike are simply continuing it as they are doing with other teams who had Umbro

correct, Umbro had a deal until 2016

Not knocking the club at all but surely no hard work was done to reach an agreement with Nike if it was already in place?

I can't see that the sale of Umbro by Nike rendered the currect deal null and void.

[Andy]

I like Nike, always been a decent brand and made some good shirts.

Let's see what they come up with in the summer...

Galatasarays shirt would make a good away kit for us
