Nike to make Kits

[Blue Haze]

Umbro was nice. Nike will just take the rag kit and swap the colours and badge. They did this with their other kits, look at Juventus and Barca. :(

Disappointed to be losing the quality kits Umbro have done for us but I suppose this is necessary if we're going to pass FFP. Also a logical move if you think about it, with Umbro being owned by Nike they were always going to come after us when it really got going.

Are we sponsoring the training gear like the rags?

We have signed a double deal withGregg's and Wilkinsons.

Our marquee signing.

It it me or do all Nike kits seem to be synthetic looking pieces of shite! - At least the Umbro kits look like their made of a decent material.

I think some of you are forgetting that sponsorship deals are more important than points... just ask RAWK and KKK

Yep they are all made to a similar template.

With the announcement of the Nike Deal, would this mean a possible preference towards players who have Nike Deals themselves...

I mean would the club/nike want a big Adidas posterboy involved with the club?

Just a thought....

For me the interesting part of this deal is the quote by City about R&D facilities. These don't strike me as something vital for football shirt deals over another company.

It could be our arrangement with Nike might have something to do with the Etihad campus, given the date this deal comes online and the estimated build time of the site?

Didn't we make use of Nike R&D facilities (training, medical etc.) on the tour of the US last year?

Perhaps a broader, strategic link up beckons?
