Yes, I know this season hasn't finished yet, but I just wanted to raise this issue.
I heard about this a long time ago. Its from Wikipedia;
Similarly, the club has only had four independent kit manufacturers, the first being Admiral. Adidas took over in the mid-1980s, only for local sportswear company Umbro to replace them in 1992. Umbro's sponsorship lasted for ten years, until the club struck a record-breaking £302.9 million deal with Nike. The agreement with Nike will last an initial 13 years, although the American company does have the option to cancel the deal in 2008. Otherwise, the contract will run until at least 2015.
What do you think?
Do you think Nike should cancel? Would you welcome new kit manufacturers?
If Nike are to cancel, who should take their place?
Do you have any particular styles/designs or ideas you would like to see on next seasons kits?
