City extend their partnership with Puma to 2034/2035

[cleavers]

Late 2000's Umbro, please.

They just don't have the profile of where City are now, it's about the finances, not the kits they provide (for the club penny makers).

 

[theholysmurf]

Can think of 3 kits that I like from them, absolutely bollocks, but if it brings in the cash then why not?

 

[TCM]

And most of the kits have been shite. I'd love to see us wearing Adidas.

Have they? You didn't rate the Bell inspired kit then? No guarantee Adidas would be better...

People are fickle. Everyone looks back with nostalgia at the kappa kits but at the time with the new badge and laser blue, it was a travesty.

Yeah, I get that. It was just personal preference.

 

[jrb]

Why ?

Most of their stuff was shite imho.

I liked Kappa.

Not everybody did.

In my opinion the last two home shirts, including the latest one, aren't great.

Across the range, Puma need to up their game.

The designs they are brining out at premium prices are bang average to say the least.

Some, perhaps most of the City t-shirts, and their designs are dreadful.

Yes, yes they have

Absolutely shite with the exception of the treble home kit

Not a chance as they produce rag kits
It's really unusual for Adidas to supply two clubs that are geographically close together

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Get out clause?

 

[calumdown]

Why ?

i liked kappa.
dunno why, really.
just one of those things at the time.
maybe because the idea of the logo was the equality of men and women.
or maybe because there was a silhouette of her tits.

 

[kingn6]

Who would you prefer ?

I've no time for the majority of them.

Hummel for me nothing beats those iconic danish national kits.

Puma got City to sign the contract before they release the rain kit

View attachment 162909

That's fucking rotten!

The Umbro deal was really with Nike who owned them, and when Nike sold them City went to Nike proper.

After the deal from Umbro 1994-97 there is no way City were going back to that company, but it was a different one in 2009/10 who owned the right to the badge.

Anyone can design and make any kit, it is just a badge.

I quite enjoy being Puma's biggest club.

They've made some shit kits and some great kits, 2022/23 home is still our best in over 30 years and I still wear it now.

All of the puma top executives must be in on the “fraud” of the century.

Khaldoon has given them the nod we in the clear.

Late 2000's Umbro, please. I'd take Le Coq over Puma. What I want and what I'll get are two completely different things though.

The 3 kits for the 2009/10 season by umbro were simple and brilliant. Only the Treble home shirt has been of that level.

Completely agree. I will give Puma credit for the treble shirt as well. That was nice.

Was surprised our shirts outsell Milan and Dortmund, and that we sell more shirts in the US than the UK now, all XXXL of course

Le Coq are presently in receivership having gone bankrupt - might be a better fit for the Rags.

Its the 3rd kits I have an issue with. There's been some decent home and away kits. The black, maroon and navy kits have mostly been nice designs.
These were gash though:
Oasis,
New Raindrop,
Sherbet dip/pina colada
Wembley replica.

Don’t buy them then. I only ever buy the kits that I like.

If Puma want to make out-there kits, then they can if they pay the club enough.

If they don’t sell, they won’t do it again!
