New Kit Deal - Under Armour?

Nike are due to supply kits for other Premier League clubs in the near future. Must play on our owners mind, surely we are in s strong negotiation position to get a better deal. Does anyone know when our deal with Nike is due to expire?

There is substance to the rumours, but far from being a done deal. The notion that those kit designs are genuine is absurd.

I still don't understand why anyone thinks we're going to get a new kit deal before the end of the current one. What incentive to Nike have to renegotiate? They've got an underpriced deal with one of the top clubs in the world. Why would they voluntarily pay more?

Maybe if we buy out the current contract and go with UA if they pay much more? Chelsea did that with Adidas, bought the contract out and switched to Nike who paid double the amount Adidas did.
 
Seeing Nike paying that amount to Chelsea and Spurs will make the owners think long and hard about that deal. Not a fan of the Under Armour kits, so I hope we can negotiate a new deal with Nike. Something tells me the owners will want to generate more money, so we'll end up with a brand that is willing to make us there main team. At this moment the prime candidate will be Under Armour, but stranger things have happened, maybe we will end up wearing Umbro, Kappa or LeCoq Sportif again.

I imagine it depends on the terms of the existing contract. I don't think it's a given that you can just buy yourselves out, although I could be wrong.

Of course you can buy yourself out. The terms of the contract do not need to contain a buy out clause: everything is negotiable. The question is whether the cost of buying out would be worthwhile?
