Nike to make Kits

[20sbc07]

We're guaranteed to end up with atleast 1 top covered in stripes, Nike seem to love their stripey tops unfortunately.

 

[Why Always Ste]

We're all agreeing that Nike is better for the club financially but wouldn't it be a lot easier for the counterfeiters in China/Thailand etc to replicate our kits when they are made by Nike...? Their designs are so generic, whereas our designs recently have been more unique

Suppose they might get their fake shirt for £2 but end up spending £200 on a ticket and £500 on the Etihad flight when they come over here

Nike, eh? Another international human rights arse-kicking in the making.

For all those asking about why we can't stay with Umbro. (This is my guess). The reason that the bigger clubs jump to Nike or Adidas, is because they have the worldwide infrastructure within their businesses to mass produce/market/advertise everywhere in the world. They have departments in every part of the world that can support the sponsorship of our club. Umbro doesn't have that currently.

(at least to the extent that is needed)

It reads to me that the umbro contract has just been transferred to Nike, after all they do own Umbro. Could he wrong but hell knows.

City are now big time expected to be successful for years to come theres no way that Nike will want to miss out on this even owning Umbro doesn't get them the corporate exposure they require as few people will be aware that Umbro is in face Nike

According to the Financial Times, this deal surpasses the £25m from Liverpool's new deal.

Telegraph and the Mirror say otherwise but definitely have to believe the Financial Times over them.
