jambo1980 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hope it's someone with decent training kit. Is umbro not owned by Mike Ashley? No, Sports Direct used to have a large shareholding in Umbro but sold that to Nike. Nike have since sold Umbro to Iconix Brands, a US investment company. There was a suggestion that they may lease the brand name in the UK to SD but I don't think that ever happened. I'd be happy if we went back to Umbro. They've done some really nice kits recently, particularly in South America (albeit under license, I believe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Lets be honest, this cringey FOH 3rd/fans tribute kit was probably only ever going to be made by one of the low end manufacturers. As an aside it would be great if the retail operation could be brought in house - regardless of the kit manufacturer - and we saw all the profits.

As an aside it would be great if the retail operation could be brought in house - regardless of the kit manufacturer - and we saw all the profits. Not necessarily, a few decent sized kit manufacturers have done similar tribute shirts in the past. Agree with your second point. Given how well the new regime have organised everything else so far, I think they'd do a far better job of the retail operation than the present company do.

bighusref Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It will be readily available because there will be far less demand for it! I don't think so. I think it will be a good kit and well received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Gutted about losing adidas but this ordering kits ever x month pish was irritating. Really don't want umbro although suspect its a done deal.

OmiyaHearts Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Quite like spurs under armour don't know about quality of the cut though I got an under armour kit for Omiya Ardija and it's decent quality if a bit thin feeling. I like the jersey even though it's a bit bright! http://www.sskamo.co.jp/campaign/j2014-omiya.html Anyway back on subject - I'd be happy with Umbro, Puma or Nike as long as they try and keep it simple.

Locky Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Has warrior actually been rumoured anywhere?

Locky Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That's my take on it. 19/5HMFC12 was the first to mention Warrior and even then he only mentioned the name. Think everyone's panicking because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trago13 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Our new female owner, it could be Dorothy Perkins or Primark. Maybe if we are lucky, a natty M & S number or even posher, and local, Jenners? I'm at an age that I don't buy the tops anymore (this year being the exception of course), so my main concern is we make lots of money from whoever supplies the kit. Having said that, I do have my staff card at the ready, should we go down the M&S route. 20% discount, not to be sniffed at ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM1874 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Said if on a previos thread. Stay as far away from Puma as possible. They are more of a team wear brand but I like Joma kits. Often than not simple and minimal design. Nice collars on them too. If i had to rank my preferences 1) Adidas 2) Umbro 3) Joma Just my opinion based on kits etc but its what i'd hope for.

Five to One Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Don't mind on the make so much as the cut and design. This years is such a great top due to its simplicity and fit. I really liked the umbro 2012 top and have the version with no sponsor on it. The option for this would be welcome as a lot of folk don't want to promote whatever brand. Might not please the actual sponsor though! Keep it simple and it will sell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon tinted glasses 2 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I don't care who our new shirt supplier is (if changing from Adidas) as long as the shirt looks decent and has the Hearts badge on it then they will sell and thats the main thing. I also don't understand people's opposition to brands like warrior, yes there are some bad strips out there but if you look at kits like the one they done for Odds BK (the maroon away kit) there are some decent ones.

Shanks said no Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 A few days ago the wife was wittering on about the Adidas contract being cancelled / ending, no more tops being made and all efforts were now being focused on making the new one. She saw it on facebook so I just ignored it. Given that Budge is switched on about what the fans want I wouldn't be surprised if the deal was already done.

Winston Ingram Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Won't be Adidas, won't be Warrior/New Balance. The shirt sponsor will be more interesting than who makes the strips. It's our best chance in years to maximise revenue from this and will be fascinating to see what kind of firm we can attract (plus for what money).
