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!:)

Ha, yeah.

Hope we stick with UA but I highly doubt we will as Nike will probably throw a ton of money at us to get back into London. Unfortunate because Nike will just stick us on one of their templates and be done with it. So we'll just have the standard run of the mill kits that multiple other clubs wear with different colors.

Also, UA has made some absolutely beautiful kits since they've become our outfitters. The 12/13's home and away's were brilliant and I personally liked the 3rd kit also. The 13/14 home was great outside of the collar. The away and 3rd kits that year are among the nicest kits we've ever worn, IMO. Last years 3rd kit was beautiful. As is this years 3rd kit. The issue the last 2 years have been finding a design that works with those big bolded AIA letters, especially on the home as that logo is red.

We wouldn't get a Nike template kit. Well, maybe in Yr 1 due to timelines, but we'd be their core client in London after that and take on the old Goon account team who moved to QPR when they were top flight. Interestingly QPR's home and away this year are not Nike templates but bespoke issue numbers. Assume if we went with Nike, they'd lift and shift that team over.

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?

I like them. Simple and classic. Plain with the sponsor and badge works for me - we don't want to end up looking like a basketball team.

Don't think Levy would go for vests and baggy shorts and would certainly draw the line at a wooden court over the new pitch... Don't think you have to worry there mate.
