[Albion] Nike - keep or ditch?

[Murray 17]

Soon to be collectors items -

Albion PL sleeve badges.

Something future generations will cherish.

But hey, we'll have lots of money in the bank to try again next year (and 'if' and it's a big if, we manage to get back, we'll find we face the same situation again).

Ditch, but ONLY for Adidas.

And then we can re-release all the 80s kits in The Adidas original collection.Make no mistake the club would make a fortune!!.

I'm not particularly fussed who the shirt makers are, tbh. It's irrelevant, for me it's about how they fit and their design. Despite being a brighton fan for coming around 30 years, I've never really been a fan of our blue and white kits (I did like the argentina strip). I liked the colourful strips (my favourite would be the inter inspired blue and black and the yellow with black squares on the shoulder from the sandtex sponsor era). Not really concerned if the specific design is bespoke or from a catalogue.

If the orange goalkeeper shirt was available with short sleeves I'd buy it. I like the fit and feel of the shirts. I'm happy with them so wouldn't join a revolt if we stick with them when the deal expires.

I'm not really that bothered about kit manufacturers so I would vote for who every gives us the most amount of money. What is the value of the current contract and how many shirts have we sold? I presume the club make a healthy profit on kit sales?

I rather like the Nike stuff - they seem to have held up well to my son battering them up the park better than Errea

Nike Dri-fit have a weird smell like no other football shirt I've ever worn.......Ditch!

 

[JBizzle]

I've voted ditch, but not because I don't like this season's shirt (I'm probably one of the few that loves it). I just love what Adidas do with football shirts, especially striped ones.

I voted to keep, now the logo issue has been sorted, but mainly because the material I find so much better than Errea; Nike's stuff is much more comfortable (for me) and is much more resilient/resistant to snags and other things (for me), than Errea. Nice kits but hated the material. Adidas would be good. As a gentleman of slightly less skinny proportions, I would be slightly concerned that Puma or Under Armour would be too snug - certainly they seem to go for the more body hugging designs.

Ditch, but ONLY for Adidas.

Adidas all day for me, in a bukta style.

Ditch. Look how long it took for them to get their China factory in gear to get them back in stock.
