New Kit Deal - Under Armour?

[Ric]

As soon as we sell as many shirts as the big boys you mean.. because there´s no chance that our 342k shirts p.a will get a similar deal as Uniteds 1.75m or Chelseas 899k shirts sold.

Yeah, it's highly unlikely that we'll get as lucrative a deal as those.

At best it's probably going to be in the region of £35-40 mil tops which is good and as we develop our brand further become more successful sell more shirts then get the top dollar.

I'd prefer us to go with someone like UA - where we are the centre of attention for them in Football in the UK; we'll get unique kits and some targeted marketing etc. If we stay with Nike we'll be the poor relatiuon to Chelski and have similar kits to them and Spuds - exact same keepers kit etc. In terms of money i guess #35 to $40m a year is teh ball park but a partnership with UA could be good for both parties if UA - over time - could supply kits across the CFG.

Shit quality, generic designs, sew-on badges and a history of using child labour. How many more objections do you want?

I know what the are objections but, relative to all the other manufacturers, the hatred seems out of proportion to me.

The UA kits for Spurs and Southampton are hardly a recommendation for their design skills.

I've got loads of UA gear and there's no way I'd describe their stuff as cheap, tacky shit. The quality is miles better than anything from Nike or Adidas.

Agree totally. UA make some quality stuff.

Man alive, I didn't know we were there far behind Chelsea.

For those who were wondering whether that mock-up picture was actually leaked by Under Armour...no it wasn't. CityWatch have posted the full graphic which shows that it's just an amateur mock-up done by a guy on twitter called @sebbulba. If you read through his history on his twitter page, he seems to be doing a series of designs right now based on classic kits:

Sebbulba needs a job designing our kits.
