[I'm With Stupid]

Agreed but Nike are a much bigger brand than umbro and have little to lose, umbro had to up their game.

Yeah, smaller companies and newer companies looking for a market share tend to do a better job. Umbro were basically being relaunched at the time. I think Warrior have done a great job with the Liverpool shirts, and Aston Villa had a pretty decent one last season from Macron (who also made a great Lazio shirt).

Nike have made some decent shirts, but ours seem to be the only ones that have to put up with something with a badge that looks like the ones your mum used to sew on your swimming trunks.

It's just another sign that they're making it as cheaply as possible. They could embroider it on like Umbro used to, but they'd rather save every penny and come out with a shit product that they assume everyone will just buy anyway. For the teams that actually have a badge that's an easy shape for them, they actually do a decent job.

They've all got badges that work with Nike's corner cutting manufacturing process. Maybe that's another reason to get a new badge.

Fuck me! Have you seen the Warrior kits for the Dippers – they're fucking horrendous... especially the away kits... also, up close, they're very poor quality. The New Balance kits look a step up for them, with the exception of nicking the Rags tea-towel patterned material!

I thought the first one they made with the yellow was decent. Not too keen on the most recent one.

Remember the big mural that was done somewhere in town as part of the build up to the kit launch?

Isn't NB part of Warrior ? I think they are just using a different brand name. A couple of the Dippers Away kits have been seriously bad - remember a white one that looked like someone had chundered on it and a dreadful purple effort. Nike are seriously not interested - just produce a kit in our colors from a cheap and nasty template. It's not like Nike are paying us top dollar either. We might get a decent kit every now and again probably more bt luck than judgement. Replacing Umbro with Nike has saved me a fortune.

The shield isn't that bad, it is what it is. A fucking shield.

I can honestly say I've hardly, if ever, even noticed it having had the current top for 10 months.

New Balance bought Warrior out and is turning their football line into a NB line. Warrior isn't even a big brand in the United States bar Lacrosse. No way that brand was going to make an impact in Europe.

The bar was set so high, it can never be passed. Never.

Don't be silly, of course it can. it just takes someone with balls to do something great.

The bar pun needn't be explained...
