Astro called this a long time ago.

I've liked the Le Coq kits to be honest, especially the home ones. Don't know how I'd feel about Nike taking over though.

Umbro became boss after we signed up with Le Coq.

I will not wear an Everton kit made by Nike, simply because I don't really agree with their working practices. Same reason I don't buy Apple.

I think Le Coq as a whole have been class. The pink one wasn't everyone's cup of tea but it was different and a talking point. The retro bib is still one of my favourite recent shirts, and this season's is possibly our best since the 90s. The training gear as well has been top notch.

And Kitbag runs for 10 years, I think there are 7 years to go on it.

Does it make much of a difference who produces it - other than the material I suppose? I know absolutely nothing about clothes manufacturing, but surely the basic colour and design of the kit isn't solely down to the manufacturer. The club must have a big influence over it. In my world of work, I'd be saying this is the kind of thing we want and tender loads of companies to see who could produce the best quality for the best price.

I would imagine the club do have an influence on the design to an extent. I suppose Le Coq Sportif would make a few designs and the club would pick the best one.

Our last home kit is the best for years. Shame we are changing after some one finally gets it right.

It would have been changed again next season whether it was Le Coq, Le Shark or Le Donk

I dont know if its them or the club who decides but the one thing i dont like about Le Coq is that theres 3 new kits every season. The wife got me the vanilla shirt for christmas a couple of years ago and i wouldve had the home shirt this year but whats the point if its going to be out of date within a few months.

Apart from that though Le Coq have done some great designs and, fair enough, the pink one was pretty horrid but at least they were trying something different

Amazed at people being unhappy at Nike making the kits.

Nike are the anti-jarg, they can do no wrong. They are the Zenith to Gola's Nadir. People remember this. Wearing Nike you're un-touchable from being ripped about your clothes FFS.
