They own Converse too. Madness isn't it.

I reckon the only thing keeping Umbro afloat is the England deal, where they have the easiet design criteria ever, "white". I'm surprised they haven't been in trouble sooner.

Umbro haven't the financial clout the big boys have, hence their gradual decline from making kits for the elite clubs. You could say the same applies to other traditional kit suppliers like Kappa & NR to name a couple.

Probably true, since City are now in their last year with them, ironic they'll too be Nike next year.

I used to love the kappa shop at Cheshire oaks, used to get lovely italy football gear, not sure it's still open now, not been there for a year or two.
