Nike to make Kits

[goatboy]

lets just hope that kappa come in with an 11th hour bid and tops the nike offer;)

Bored and can't stop thinking about the game sunday so I went in and mocked some kits up. Of course ours will probably not look anything like these but I thought I'd play around. Also made a maroon Umbro one, it might be close who knows.

edit: added a couple more.

I'd buy any of those apart from the one on the bottom left. All the others look pretty cool

Yea, that one was my far out there 3rd kit. I want to see one of our kits incorporate the green/yellow from the 99 soon.

New Barca kits

The rag and Barca shirts are worrying for us. Looks like some little kid was experimenting with MS Paint.

We should demand that the Umbro team be brought over to advise on our kits. Those look utterly ridiculous and embarrassing.

I'm confident Nike will deliver a kit (design and material) to our quality standards

No brand can match the beautiful blue color of this season kit.
Look how City shines in this pic!
I mean common, probably the most beautiful pic: The blue shines like no other team!
This exact color need to stay!!!!!

Apart from the first one which is very similar to our first Umbro shirt of this current deal, they're terrible
Do you work for Nike?

New CTR360 football boot from Nike:

It's probably not got anything to do with the kit deal announcement and even less to do with us winning the league but these boots would look fantastic with our kit, particularly this season's with the stripey socks, and it'd be nice to think we may have influenced their choice of colours, although as I said, highly improbable.

I like those two!

Agreed, nice and simple, which is why I bought one of these:

Nike own Umbro. Makes sense.

"The Umbro sponsorship, which has been in place since June 2009, will continue to the end of the 2012/13 season, after which all kit, training wear and related products will be designed, manufactured and distributed by Nike. The contract will run until 2019."

Does this mean Nike abandon U****d and are replaced by Carbrini or someone?

I personally hate Nike and have never wore a Nike item of clothing since I was 13.

Technically If you've bought any umbro products since we moved back to them you've been wearing Nike...and that's why I don't get the point in the switch they are one and the same just Umbro are a subsidiary company

Nike want to be associated with MCFC, simple as that.

Not many of our boys wear Nike boots though...

Off the top of my head:

Richards
Kompany
Lescott
Milner
Johnson
Tevez
Balotelli

Not a bad selection.

I hope Nike make the sizes a little bigger for fat bast like me :) the umbro tailored are a joke.

They are football kits, designed for football players, who nowadays are elite athletes. At the end of the day the design team's main focus will be on how the kit looks on the players rather than when filled with a beer belly. No offence.

No offenece taken but surley replica kits are about making money as well?

I've not been able to buy one since the reebok days which i still have but need a replacement soon.

City Nike Kits? things are looking up Blues.

Jesus Christ. No need to do all the research, I said Ill take your word.


My dislike for NIKE and love of MCFC must have led me to turn a blind eye. It irritated me when they bought Umbro, now I can't help but wonder when Ill be able to stomach buying another kit.

Gave me something to do.

Not a big fan of Nike kits but I really like their boots, find them the most comfortable and really like the designs even if the colour schemes are sometimes unusual shall we say.

I actually like their products, it's their unrelenting drive to corner every market of every sport that disgusts me.
