We just got some new UA shorts and shirts in at work and I rather like 'em. Some of their stuff may be loving ghastly looking but not everything.

This is so stupid.


As a bit of a forecast of things to come for City fans, Northern Ireland got a new kit, changing from Umbro to Adidas.

It's nowhere near as good as what Umbro did. I think Umbro have been consistently good in designing nice, clean shirts for a while now, while Nike have produced more utter shite than anyone else.

Oh God I'm sorry Oregon don't shank me :(

One of my friends was at the under armour headquarters when they introduced spurs. He said they had the click clack guy do some chant to get them all fired up and then all the employees did a chant too. It all sounded rather embarrassing

Yes, but Nike is currently in the process of auctioning off Umbro.

The auction is bound by NDA, but last I heard it was mostly Asian companies considering bids. Fila and E-Land have been mentioned on several occasions. They both make sense for different reasons.

:eng101: it's actually now a Korean brand who reverse-purchased the (originally Italian) company from a holding group in 2007. The headquarters is even now in Seoul I think. Not surprising to see them making moves again.

Yes, and they bought Titleist and all its bells and whistles last year too.

It says "12-13 Peru Home Trikot" in the shop as well.

That's a massive shame. Umbro do quality kits whereas Nike just recycles a bunch of poo poo from team to team.

Fry, it's been three days. You can't keep boogie-ing like this. You'll come down with a fever of some sort.

From the BBC: The new deal with Nike, which lasts until 2018, brings a 60-year association with Umbro to an end.


I had no idea it had been 60 years! Definite shame they're switching. I'd like to think that even Nike couldn't gently caress up an England kit, but I'm sure they'll find a way.

What were Umbro making when England were wearing this in the early 80s then?

Umbro 1954-1974, Admiral 1974-1984, Umbro 1984-2012

So I guess what they mean is almost 60 years, if you ignore that one stupid decade in the middle.

Got a couple of jerseys in the mail today from one of the dozens of Bornprosper offsprings, pretty happy with my purchase. Took about 10 days all up, i really wish they'd take a little care posting these things though. My package was bunched up into the shape of a ball and the shirts are creased something fierce.

This is awful in every single way. From the shirt, to the numbers and lettering(what the gently caress is that??), to the medal for... spending money I guess(insert Premier League joke here ------------------>)
