    Have apparently 'let us down' and have failed to produce stock ordered over a year ago by the Club and their failure to deliver will now leave our outlets short of stock ahead of the busiest retail period of the year.

    The Club would like to apologise to supporters for this situation which is completely beyond our control. Unfortunately this isn’t the first time we have been let down by adidas in recent months and we are currently seeking a new kit supplier for the 2014/15 season and beyond.

    The full article is here - http://www.hullcityafc.net/news/art...ent-november-1175124.aspx#cVcQpsTtbOTE5I3J.99



    So, who do you think we'll get as our new supplier? I'm going for... Puma or Nike. Watch this space.

    Nike, they make the best kits. If we're on about going on a global marketing campaign, we also want the most popular fashion logo on our kit.

    It seems to me Adidas have taken to many clubs on and can't meet the supply needs.

    I'm sure they'll be penalty clauses in the contract.

    The only reason that statement is made is

    1. the clubs marketing is shyte

    2. He wants to sanitise the club shop of everything with HULL CITY AFC on it.

    I was thinking that as well.

    It'll probably be some Asian kit supplier...

    If OLM is right I'd be happy with Umbro, they made my favourite ever City kits.

    I do hope it is Umbro, and because virtually no other club has them, we should get some more 'unique' kits.


    Who do Umbro still make kits for in England?

    They only have the national kits for Norway and Ireland on their website, I think Nike nicked all their main ones before they flogged it off.

    Would prefer it to be a big brand (Nike, Puma, Umbro), any other brands seem incapable of not producing a professional/nice kit.

    Even then, that Puma template with the striped collar is ****ing awful.

    Since they're all made in Asian sweatshops, you could be right.

    Yep, the missus mum is a manager there. I'd like it to be Nike, anyone but Liverpools brand! Warrior is it?
