They've not been too bad, but I still don't like them.

First there was the fuck up with their first set of kits, which meant we had to mix and match against Newcastle away in our first game because the away and third kit were too similar. Simple rule for kit maker: Make three distinct kits.

Since then they've usually produced at least one great kit (this year the purple one is spot on). However, I still hate the River Plate stripe on our home kit. Just doesn't look like a modern-era Spurs kit.

Still maintain they were going for the US market with that kit

Plays nicely with the NFL deal. Think the current crop of kits is very savvy too and for first time in years I'd wear any of them

Nike used to be holy grail but they've become increasingly lazy. Altho if we got something like this France kit mix (replace red trim with blue or yellow, with collar on white one too), I'd be happy...

So we might be good enough for nike to be bothered with us now then, big deal.
Under Armour seem to have done a good job why not stay with them.

Rather have Nike doing our kits.

We'd just end up with a different version of everyone else's kit.

Don't think that true at all especially when looking at the beautiful kits they've made - They keep it simple. I'm surprised at the amount of people disagreeing with me, yet they say how much they like the France National kit, they do know who that's made by, right?

Because some teams are getting more than double the cash we are. We could buy another, I don't know, David Bentley, for that cash.

Stick with UA or go back to Le Coq who are making some nice kits again. Nike are just generic templates and pretty poor ones.

We'll go with whoever hands over the most money, obvs. Can't see Levy browsing template catalogues and making a decision on style

It will probably be warrior
So scourers can moan get your own kit supplier :whistle:

The current England strip is a disgrace. It looks incredibly basic and has the wrong blue on it.

So If they double their deal should we stay with Under Armour?

Not really corporate image and all that. The club is synonymous with the kit image wise, so he' d spend a bit of time on that decision...

THEN he'd go for the most money!

le coq sportif or Hummel.

Would love us to have Hummel, I mean love it, wonder if they have pitched to a PL side lately? I have a few pairs of their trainers (court shoes), shorts and a tracktop, lovely retro look and really top qaulity. Having said that I am more than happy with UA, IMO better qaulity than Nike or Adidas, I think its nice to be a bit different.

Nike - the French international shirts are perfect.

I found myself getting bored of the plain white 'retro' kits a while back. I do quite like the UA ones from the last few years and getting some navy into the main body of the shirt is a massive positive for me.

Wasn't too sure of the sash when it was first announced but I really like it now and stands out quite nicely when you see us on tv.

Seems UA are doing what a lot of unfamilier brands do.Start with a relatively big deal with a big club, then attach themselves to a few of the lesser clubs in the league.
It's been done by brands before.I'd assume we'll have a new supplier soon enough.

To be honest whilst other sports equipment companies sponsor sporting associations it seems when the whiff of corruption breaks Nike seems to be right there in the thick of it, or at least just off stage.
International athletics is, it seems riddled with corruption and who gets awarded an athletics world championship venue with no bidding process apparently required? Well I'll be! Eugene in the backwoods of Oregon, put another way, Nike's home town.
The heart of the FIFA organised crime syndicate is Brazil, who finances Brazilian football and it's corrupt gangster officials? Yup you guessed it, Nike!
I have to declare an interest here in that I have despised Nike since their beginning when they had all their goods made using cheap labour in the far east, they didn't use cheap labour really, they used all but slave labour and they tried to hide it as long as they possibly could, there is something rotten at the heart of Nike and I don't want my club associated with them.
Genuinely don't want them anywhere near my club and I won't buy any nike based club merchandise if we are.
As it happens I actually like what UA have produced for us over the last few years anyway so would want to stay with them on that score alone.

One nice strip out of how many though? Nike's kits are mostly all boringly generic. You'd never see Nike give us anything like the nicer UA kits. Nike wouldnt give us last years 3rd, the beautiful 13/14 kits, the nice home and aways from 12/13. Maybe they'd give us something similar to this years homes and 3rds.

You want an idea of what we'd be wearing with Nike?

Interestingly, you couldn't buy the Nike Brazil team shirt at any official FIFA World Cup shops in Rio because Adidas sponsored the tournament
