    Would've preferred Adidas but guess the Scum have tainted that brand now.

    Must be a good thing for Nike as qpr are always in the headlines one way or another good or bad.

    Anyone know what the sizes are like, it was mad that a XXXL lotto shirt was smaller than a L LCS.

    Hopefully I can go back to a normal size rather than a super fatboy size!

    I'd like to see us have a dayglo pinstripe like in the influence kits, I'd even incorporate it into the new badge and I think it would help us stand out from the others.

    Seems to be a good deal for all involved. Does it mean that Nike get paid for all the shirts make, or is it part of their payment the advertising? Surely we don't pay for the shirts, and give Nike advertising on top?

    no, we are one of the few who get paid to wear them like Arsenal and Man U.

    Youll see clubs like Hull and Peterboro wear adidas or nike buy they pay for the shirts while most of the other teams wear crap like macron or errea because the choice is to get paid by them or pay for decent shirts.

    Isn't this the last season that Nike are supplying Arsenal kits, finishing after 20 years.....at least with the hoops they will have to design an individual kit rather than one of their standard templates......I like Daves DTM design above.....

    Would rather it was Adidas, but at least it's not Warrior!

    Watford had a kit made by Burrda. Might as well have been Lidl

    For me it was either Nike or Adidas. At least with Nike we don't have to have the shoulder stripes like Adidas every season - they are nice, but it allows for more variation.

    Kits like Warrior, Puma, and Umbro are not great, so very happy with Nike.

    Judo, I was reading somewhere that Nike brought out Umbro a couple of years ago and then left that side of the business to wither away, hence the change of kit supplier for England, City etc who all had Umbro, it was basically an asset stripping exercise by Nike.....

    Umbro is still in business but only supplying Non League sides from a small business centre in the North West of England, Stockport I think......

    Nice one DT, agree that the tagline should be the case too. Love our Menace away strip.

    Umbro are the worst but haven't they stopped now, the designs of puma can be good but the skin tight thing is just awful. You'd need another 3 sizes over lotto which means a LCS would be xxxl puma!

    Warrior is just tacky,perfect for the scousers. The only ones I'd have been happy with were nike and adidas.
