My collar broke too!

I don't have a fat head ... or do I?

I also purchased a training top for 5-a-side, I have to say it is by far the cheapest, nastiest piece of tat I have ever purchased. Makes Primark seem like Armani.

And if this is the 'same as everyone else', then sorry to be a sheep, but I'll get in line.

Errea's gear is made in the EU, in Romania I believe, and they don;t use harmful toxins in the fabric like other brands, but they're not exactly ethical.

I still think there's a big gap in the market for an ethical football brand.

I have that Berlin shirt and the DB logo Is a cheap crappy transfer which pealed off after 2 washes D:

Nike ? No thanks. They make one generic kit in a variety of coulours then stick the club/country's badge on it.

If not errea , then I wouldn't mind Umbro. They've done some very nice kits this year, the forrest one is a good example.

Umbro are a 100% subsidiary of....................................................NIKE!

Barber will go for whoever gives them the best deal. I suspect that they will get a better deal from Errea on the basis that Nike and Adidas currently have bigger fish to fry. I think Errea have come up with some good designs and there have been few complaints re quality.

I've torn two collars on this years kit, it falls apart and feels cheap compared to sunday league kits I wear.

Stitching round the neck is incredibly delicate.

They do Newcastles home shirt. very Italian in design this year, ruined by a sponsored panel. but agree Wednesdays Kit is rank.

Lotto do nice shirts. No good if you have a bit of a belly though.

I do have issues with some of the inconsistent sizing but at least our gear has an element of originality.
Perhaps we should ask Bench or someone to design a soccer kit to be truly unique?

In reality, when errea's contract is up, I would expect us to go to the highest bidder. At the moment, Burrda is throwing lots of money at Championship level clubs as they are trying to break into the UK market (I know Wolves are on a huge amount from them, in comparison to other lower Premier League and Championship teams).

Its not so much the Kit, but i would love some Adidas Albion Leisurewear

I think this is quite a key point.

The shirt nomatter who it is made by and almost nomatter what it looks like (given it will be blue and white stripes) will be priced at the same level and will sell the same amount. Fans who buy football shirts will buy it.

There are, however, a lot of people who would never buy a shirt and I reckon they'd be more likely to buy other club apparel if carrying an Adidas logo than they will if it's carrying an Errea logo.

Personally, I don't care either way.
