BACK TO UMBRO

alan ball · December 7, 2013

I've heard we are ditching Nike and reverting back to Umbro next season. Anybody else heard this?

Goat · December 7, 2013

I was told Adidas.

allen · December 7, 2013

We're on a three-year deal with Nike. So Nike.

I wouldn't mind Umbro again tbh. The black kit last season was ace and I like the yellow one this year but the home kits have been pap.

As far as i'm aware we didn't actually sign a three year deal, we signed a two year deal with the option of a third. Don't think we're taking the third, and we're going with Adidas.

Only if there's a reason for it.

It'll be Nike.

Umbro was the worst...

All their kits were the same throughout the league.

I guess we find out in about 6months.

If that 3 year deal was agreed in 2012 that will run till 2016 season.

To be honest, I just hope we don't get Adidas.

I hate their kits - it's all about the three stripes. That's all you see when you look at any side with Adidas kits. At least Nike's branding is minimal.

I heard Adidas. Hopefully, someone in marketing will grow some balls and demand a trefoil kit.

Do umbro still do kits ? Most teams that were with them switched to nike.

Nike bought Umbro and cherry-picked all their best contracts. They then offloaded them. So they're basically an asset-stripped version of their former selves and, to my knowledge, still on the lookout for teams to make strips for.
