If we are going with a big name manufacturer (Puma, Adidas, Nike etc) the kit will be choosen from their standard catalogue and the club will pay for it, Leicester City is not a big enough club for these manufacturers to design bespoke kit or give it away free.

Exactly, I would rather stick with the exclusively designed beauties from Burrda etc...

I wasn't saying there was a problem with this, just pointing out the kit will look like other kits manufactured by the brand so don't expect any kind of distinct design features.

I don't think you see any really unique kits these days, look at most of the clubs in the top flight, their kits are all fairly generic. I don't understand how a kit can be 'original' or 'unique' anyway - they're all usually one or two colours with holes to put your head and arms through. How original can they be?

I'd rather have a top kit brand with a generic design than some of that shite Burrda have been spewing out. The fact that so many people have had to return kits to the megastore this season is a disgrace, if I'm going to pay £50 for a kit, I'd rather have a Nike kit or an Umbro kit than a Burrda one that falls apart after a week.

There was/is a possibility that one of the slightly smaller 'premium brands' (like Puma) would indeed deisng a unique kit because of the exposure/shirt sales from Asia which exceeded all expectations this season.

I really shouldn't read TB on my phone at work...everyone wants to know why I'm giggling like an idiot - cheers Macky :icon_lol:

I'm amazed anyone in Asia would actually buy one. Perhaps it's the same guy buying a new shirt every time part of it fell off.

I'm amazed by how many people care about the manufacturer. It's not a fashion item.

I think people have more of an issue with the quality that Burrda provide rather than the 'logo' not being a cool enough one.

 

[indierich06]

It's about the quality of the product for me. If I'm paying £50 for it regardless of the brand, then I want the best quality product possible, preferably made by a leading sportswear manufacturer. Burrda doesn't provide quality, proven by the amount of people who have had to return their shirts this season.

I know it's not a fashion item, but surely you can see that people would rather wear a well designed shirt from a reputable sportswear provider than a poorly designed shirt from a sportswear provider that nobody has ever heard of? What's wrong with people wanting to wear something aesthetically pleasing?

More or less what I was going to say (except I didnt know, I was just going to speculate/make stuff up).

I wouldn't surprised for someone to take a punt on being able to sell shirts in the Asian market, particularly if we do get Air Asia as a sponsor and the deal with Thai TV continues.

I'm confused, is it that it is badly made, or that it isn't aesthetically pleasing? A Nike shirt will look pretty much the same.

For the record, my shirt hasn't had any problems and neither have any from the last few seasons, but then I only wear mine to matches, not when I'm out and about as I don't really want to look that chavvy.

I don't think our current shirt is either.

I wear mine for all sorts of things, I wear it when I'm out at games, I wear it down the gym, I might wear it to nip down the shops in, it's just casual sportswear at the end of the day... Ok, I wouldn't wear it to go out down the pub or anything, but that still doesn't mean I don't want it to look good. Like it or not, people attach value to brand names and some are more desirable than others, it's like anything - some people would rather buy McVities biscuits than Asda's own brand because there is a perceived difference in quality, even though in reality there might not be. I like the shirts made by the top brands, I think Nike and Umbro make really nice kits, so if I'm paying £50 regardless, I'd rather have a kit made by what I see as a superior manufacturer. I wouldn't buy a kit that I thought looked terrible just because it had Leicester City on the front - that's why I didn't buy our Jako kit with the Topps Tiles logo, I thought it looked cheap and tacky. Having said that, brand isn't the most important thing to me - one of my favourite kits for the past few years was the Joma anniversary kit, I don't have any feelings either way about the brand, but it was a good quality shirt and it looked good.

Also, top sportswear manufacturers generally make higher quality products, and again, if I'm paying £50 regardless, I want the best quality possible for my money and we're less likely to have a problem like we did with this seasons shirts.

But top manufacturers charge more so your price may go up.
