When the current shirt contract expires would you stick with Nike or ditch Nike?

Personally ditch, go for a supplier that will give us proper bespoke home kit and enough to sell

Is it a major issue and it will obviously depend on the finances received etc I personally would say ditch because they do not make polo shirts or sportswear big enough for me. For the small amount I spend it would not be an issue to the club.

Adidas would be iconic in exactly the same way that Skint was. Voted ditch bland generic template-driven Nike. Obviously.

Anything to stop NSC - or someone- getting a couple of hundred good-lookig Adidas-crafted tops run off in Asia? Can't BEAR that piss-poor Nike shit.

I haven't liked any of the Nike home shirts although I appear to be in the minority as we keep getting told that each one has sold in record numbers (surely more down to success on the pitch and a growing number of fans rather than who makes the kit?). I'd hoped that this would at least be offset by better training and leisure products compared to Errea...but no that range has IMHO been poor also. So for me it's ditch them.

As others have said, ditch IF for Adidas.

I don't care what spin Mr Barber puts on it, the fact that the new home shirt was out of supply for 3+ months this season was buffoonery of a weapons grade scale. Whether that was the club getting the numbers completely wrong, or Nike being unable to meet the demand in a timely manner, or a combination of the two matters not. Empty shelves from August to November on our return to the top flight was piss-poor.

I'm struggling here. Barber...you talk a good game, you've always got an answer for everything, and...no no....no. I'm talking now, you've more than had your say. You've got an answer for everything, and its usually longer than the Gettysburg address. You are on thin ice.

But Nike. You've had since last May to come up with enough home shirts, and yet you'd run out of them by the end of August. I'm still not sure about the shoulders frankly, and BensGrandad can barely get a polo shirt down past his neck. I'm sorry, but you've been a shambles from the start. And for that reason....you're fired.

Barber. Go back to the Amex, but don't be under any illusions. You need to up your game if you want to stay in the process. Now get out.

Never bought a Nike product and I'm not going to start so if the club wants to encourage me to spend my hard earned on merchandise then they have to ditch.

Could I just mention "child labour" here?

The kit is one thing, although I think they have nailed it this season (aside from supply issues)
Leisure wear and merchandise no thanks.
Bloody stupid marketing slogans - grrrrr Stamford Bridge had "We are Chelsea", " We are London", "We are everyone" around the middle tier of the stadium. Every club they are involved in gets a similarly banal bunch of codswallop slogans.
