Nike are the preeminent athletics brand in the world. It's good for City to be wearing their gear, however the commercial team made an embarrassingly poor deal before and need to rectify it. Either buy out the rest of the years and force a renegotiation or offer the kit deal to another manufacturer. With that being said, it's of no use to opt for anyone who isn't a top brand on a global scale. In 2016, Umbro is an absolutely nothing company and City would not benefit from them at all even with funny money potentially involved.If I were the sheikh, I'd be buying up Umbro shares and engaging with them for the next deal...
I love the revisionist thinking on here re. Umbro. Yes; the 09/10 kits were things of beauty. But have people forgotten the 90s? Umbro foisted some hideous monstrosities on us.
mayeb so, but the majority of nike kits are awful. and in recent years umbro have been great.
