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.

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

Who's good at photoshop?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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