2nd season in a row we have had an identical away kit to Southend .....
What do you expect with identikit Barber doing the deals? Cheapest option, maximum profits.
Errea's designs for us would piss all over Nike's Sunday League Catalogue crap. I am so glad that I stopped buying replica shirts long before the Nike abominations!

Silly old bat
You may change your mind when you see Norwich's new away kit designed by Errea.

The deal with Nike has brought in a huge amount more money than Errea would ever have for us.. It's game of football not a fashion show.

What is the point of that kit ? It clashes with their home shirts

That's what happens if you allow fans, or quality designers to put something together, unfortunately Nike don't really care, so unless you are top 4 material you ain't getting one of them. Sad thing is, they do make bespoke kits for teams elsewhere in the world, it just seems to be for UK/Europe clubs which Nike won't produce the good stuff for.

You know, I can't even begin to imagine. Why would a club whose first kit clashes with, well, Watford, have a need for a third kit?
No, beats me.
Delia will be wondering about this all the way to the bank.

Of course it's a fashion show-the aim of the deal wih Nike is to sell as many shirts and associated fashionware to as many people as possible. The days of it being just a game of football are long gone.

The deal we got with Nike was far more lucrative than our Errea deal. I also don't get this obsession with the kit having to be different, whats wrong with blue and white stripes and a basic all one colour away kit? Then again I don't wear replica kits...

Oh my.
I shall no longer complain about the size of the Amex sponsor on our shirt [emoji85]

That's on a par with Newcastle's yuk yellow of a couple of seasons ago.

Couple of points: Of course the Nike deal is worth more than the last Errea one but how much more than the offer made by Errea for this contract? I agree about the coloured shirts-why do we need 3 shirts other than to sell as fashion items? All we need is our home kit worn until there is a clash when away. Sadly, the shirt manufacturers dictate what the team wears and when.
As I said previously, I'm glad I don't wear the poorly made polyester shirts selling for £45 made from 2 recycled large cola bottles.
