next years kit

[EdsBlue]

Without trying to be arguementative, players contracts get broken all the time. Don't get me wrong now, I LOVE our kits and hope we don't get Nike, but to say we won't purely because we signed a deal with Umbro, well it has no pillock about it that arguement.

I can't remember any time when a club has broken a contract with a kit manufacturer.

No way will Nike be making our kits next season. It has already been confirmed that we will still be wearing the same third strip.

Le coq sportif last season?

fact

Sorry if already posted mods but a mate of mine who does security has told me that the whole reason they're touring America is to promote their new Nike sponsors! I personally would be gutted as the rags have got Nike and wouldn't want to be anyway branded with them scumbags!

That fucking Mike at Carrington again eh

Puma mate.

Umbro are Owned by Nike, Just like Reebok are owned by addidas

 

[bluegonads]

you must listen to too many rumours.
it definitely isn't going to be blue, got that from an ITK

great - thanks for clearing that one up for me. Does your pet ITK have any news about the manager?, or nailed on signings? - or even seats for next season? - any help will be much appreciated!

cant say too much as it may compromise my source ;) how about , triffic, albert dock, and match-day experience?

You should be gutted already, Nike own Umbro

^^This^^ - the whole reason we have the 10 year deal with Umbro... Umbro owned by Nike, Cooke worked at Nike.

ive been told we are keeping just the white kit,but changing the blue and black,watch this space

I'm sorry guys but i really do hope nike gets the deal! I work overseas and its really hard for me to buy kits i only can buy it online and thats it ! there's no umbro stores around here ! but there's alot of nike and addidas though! and i get gutted when I go to these stores and watch all these clubs kits hanged and not ours and it makes me feel depressed even in marketing side ! if you want to sell more promote them with these huge companies!

Remember you heard it hear first! next years kit Will be sky blue with maroon trimmings ( just like 68 ,Bell, Lee , Summerbee etc ) the away kit is going to be navy blue / midnight blue. and the 3rd kit will stay ( white with sash ) and yes its still UMBRO

This is Umbro's description of themselves on their website:

Umbro, Ltd., a subsidiary of NIKE, Inc., is the original Manchester based football brand that invented sportswear and sports tailoring. Umbro’s first major football kit was made for Manchester City in 1934, a kit they won the FA Cup in. Today, the company combines its heritage in sports tailoring with modern football culture to create groundbreaking and iconic football apparel, footwear and equipment that blend performance and style.

There's no way nike would move City's kits to the parent company brand because they know thatthe one football team in the whole effing world that absolutely should wear Umbro is City. The Humphrey's were even on the board of directors of City once upon a time. I doubt that any football club in the world has a stronger association with a brand of sportswear.

and the fact that Nike make United, same sort of thing in London where Nike make Arsenal and Adidas make Chelsea, Adidas make Real Madrid, Nike make Barcelona. AC Milan made by Adidas, Inter by Nike. Liverpool made by Adidas, Everton made by Le Coq Sportif. Newcastle made by Adidas, Sunderland made by Umbro.

There'll be some exceptions but in general rivals kits don't have the same manufacturer.

I think the fact that the current 3rd city umbro kit with etihad on it is still full price speaks for itself.

so im sure we who are not ITK can all agree that we will have umbro and etihad on our kits next season.

Im not one to usually complain about city bringing endless amounts of kits out. but the fact i like all three esp the home shirt has really got on my nerves that they plan on bringing out two new kits next season.

As nothing can be done about this I just hope that umbro do not go back to their old ways producing generic kits for us like they do for every other club.

Sorry i had to, every time there's a new kit thread you just know you'll see it.

 

[Bongo Joe]

Why do people make up such stupid lies? You just get absolutely ridiculed.

It's just pointless and stupid.

 

[Maine_Road]

if they were getting a new sponser than they would reduce all 3 shirts but they have only reduced the home 1 ! wich tells me that we are only getting a new home top next year
