BACK TO UMBRO

[bainesontoast]

Absolutely love Umbro. Hopefully we get a boss video showing the design process like this: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/citytv/Features/2011/July/New-Manchester-City-home-kit-tease-video

Unlike Nike, they seem to possess creativity.

People saying that the Adidas striped would ruin the kit? I think something like Scotland's kit in Royal blue with the new badge would look class!

And they are capable of doing something a bit different too, like Mexico's this year (imagine that in blue/white/amber)

Do Umbro even make football kits anymore after being bought (then sold off) by Nike?

 

[andybaker]

Were Nike again. Weve been trying to kick their ass to get something that resembles a decent deal for 2 season.

Im promised that we will play the last home game of the season in the new strip...and then its out to buy for the summer so the kids actually get some use out of the thing!

They're still going but it seems to be by the skin of their arse. The last new kit I've seen from them is the new Zimbabwe home and away. Lol.

Heard a rumour that we are switching to Warrior next year, part of the deal including Allen and Enrique..........

Should probably go to the Ale House to talk about your Saturday nights mate, not a kit thread.

To be fair I'd rather we wore the mr testicles outfit than an umbro top, whats next Barkley signing a boot deal with lonsdale

I'll never understand why lids want a return to Umbro, their kits were ****e, it was only when we went with Le Coq they started churning out the tailored range that Man City and England wore for a couple of seasons. Umbro are basically defunct as a leading kit maker anyway so there's no chance of a return to them. The Nike deal has another season to run btw, read the guff when we first announced the deal on the main site and it says it there so I'm afraid the anti Nike types will have to put up with the templates we clearly get given for another season despite the fact not one single kit Nike have made for us has been a template and then adidas will replace them and definitely not give us the same kits they make for Hull, Southampton, Swansea, Stoke and West Brom despite the fact they clearly will
