[Albion] New Albion Kit Manufacturer

[Han Solo]

Could also do like an increasing number of clubs and design it in-house.

Never gonna happen though cause the bean counters rule the roost.

Under Armour kits were excellent in terms of quality and design, i wish they'd gone further into football kit manufacturing. I liked their Spurs stuff and some of their St Pauli kits were great too. I've a couple of Under Armour things - trainers, hiking tops etc - its really good. Nike are absolutely dreadful cookie cutter nonsense, and the quality is crap too - sizing is all over the shop.
I really like some of the away and thirds that Man United and Arsenal have had off Adidas, they're streets ahead of the rest it seems. They love a clean simple line and a bonkers touch, its great - i'm jealous cos they're two of the most unpleasant clubs around dammit

Wouldn’t mind a bit of Joma to be honest, having said that this year’s Nike kits are pretty solid, but I always fear another horror show is just round the corner.

Unfortunately the club will continue with Nike and charging stupid money for average clothing.

With the away kit only being for this season and not used the following as the third kit - it suggests that we will be having a new kit manufacturer next season (a deal would have already been signed a long while ago now and just not announced)

I'd churn out the same kit every season in the exact design from the late 70's. No sponsor. Make it iconic.

I know it's about money and this would never happen. But that's what I'd do.

Anyone who does non-generic jerseys and will let us have stripes on the back as well so it doesn't look like a 50/50 jersey

Sepp Blater should design the women's kit.

just a string vest then

That happens? I wonder what the process is? Any examples of the clubs who have done it?

I viewed that move a little more cynically and thought it was just another way to make money.

adidas please - sick to death of nike's "slim it" which roundly prevents me from buying half the merch I would have done

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I think we're going to stay with Nike for a long time. The deal seems to suit us from a business standpoint even if the designs are pretty lackluster they still sell very well and now we're WORLDWIDE MASSIVE it must help there too.

Adidas don't do much more than Nike on the design front, they're just a big nicer quality if you ask me. I could take it or leave it. We're never going to get the retro ranges like Newcastle, United etc so it would just be more of the same.

I'd like to see Macron because they seem to actually care about kit design. But the quality is crap.

Umbro would be lovely.

Adidas .... and take my cash now

 

[Wozza]

Don't want to to start a new thread but the amount of new (generic) training ranges each season, is pretty wild.

New yellow stuff (at bottom) looks particularly cheap - but isn't, obv.

Latest decision not based on fans wants then...

Latest decision not based on fans wants then...

Why would it be? It's an entirely commercial decision. Did the club take fans into account when they chose Errea? Or Bukta? Or Super League? etc etc Of course not.

Won't it just be another sweat shop in Asia where employees are exploited or have any of them got an ethical employment policy.

Not true tbf. The factory where they make Albion shirts, amongst others, is very close to where our house is in Cambodia. They offer good conditions and pay in line with the country’s average salary.
