it seems that their new owners have been actively trying to re enter the UK market this season is the first since umbro started out pretty much that they have not been the supplier to any club in the top five tiers of English football. obviously when they were owned by Nike, Nike only wanted one thing and that was the crown jewel of English football which they got, the England team shirt but it does seem an excellent idea for a new shirt provider to release a new shirt on cup final day as any prospective new sponsor would pay a massive premium for that opportunity, hopefully not crack convertors
think Everton are with Umbro from next season also murmuring of Newcastle as well are all the scandanavian teams still with Umbro?
Yes, Everton will have Umbro next season. Not all Scandinavian clubs anymore, at least the league I've looked at (Sweden). A lot of South American clubs use Umbro, some fantastic kits there.
Plain Tiger's head looks good, but not keen on the idea of it not having any mention of the place/area the shirt and club represents. More-so now when the city's stock is high.
Aren't we supposed to be consulted on the badge? Do you want: 1. Tigers head, no writing. or 2. No writing,tigers head.
Was just about to say that's almost certaintly what the delay is about, no doubt whatsoever that'll just be the tigers head.
The pathetic butchering of the badge will be the first of a series of foot stomping exercises, quickly followed by a substantial season ticket hike and a post wembley ceremony held in Beverley.
Any idea what it might look like or who the sponsor might be? I know that you sometimes get that type of info.
I've no idea what it looks like, I've not yet heard anything yet and the sponsor was originally going to be an Asian bookies, but I've heard that it's now switched to a food company, but I have no details of who they are.
Ive always always wanted a 'slash' a la River Plate's kit and this Stoke away. I'd want that as the home kit though, amber with a black slash and you could just reverse it for the away and then have a third kit of white with amber slash. They'd be beautiful and we could be easily recognisable no matter which kit we wore. Plus it's still a tiger stripe. I'd take the extra 2nd colour parts of the breast and sleeves that Stoke have though. Plain 1 colour with just 1 colour slash. Perfect.
