well just been talking to my mate, whos missus is a buyer for kit bag and he asked me if i wanted any everton stuff as they are selling them off because they are changing supplier to nike next week.
so looks like its a done deal.
Heard a few murmurs about it. Not really sure it's the best way. At least with Le Coq we get original designs, not just Nike's identikit.
It was mentioned a bit a couple of months ago, seemed like it was a goer.
I always wanted us to have Nike throughout the Umbro and Puma years, now we're with Le Coq, I don't really want a change, they've made some boss kits. Still, hopefully Nike should be a better deal for us, make the shirt available in more places etc...so if so, it could be a good thing
I figured it was all change when I got the BOGOF offer via email last week. I might even do it too as I really like our current home kit. Haven't bought an Everton shirt since the white/grey Danka monstrosity...I'm all about the £15 obscure foreign team kits from Mike Ashley's Emporium of Static Electricity and Eastern Europeans.
Just because it's made by Nike it won't expand the commercial footprint much - Kitbag dictate who and where the kits are sold still under the terms of our lovely contract. I'd love to take it back in house and get a decent marketing team on board. One of the key gripes I have with the lack of interest in brand promotion at the club.
The last Nike kit, that I like is the current Celtic away. I´m really excited about the kit Nike will make for us (no standard template)
But I like the Nike training and leisurewear, this could be really nice with an Everton crest![]()
