New Kit Manufacturer

[Jeff]

The old guys who go to Tesco and turn the bags inside out before filling them with their shopping because they don't want to give the company free publicity would shake their heads in disbelief.

I'm not quite that bad, but I do refuse to buy any clothing that has a brand name on the outside. If people want me to advertise their product they should pay me for it, not expect me to pay more for the privilege.

Me too, I refuse to wear anything with a logo emblazoned on it. (Apart from my 125 year LCFC shirt......)

Was told this a couple of months ago - due to fact that tthe club are extremely pissed off with Burrda.

I'm even worse. I cut off logos that are stitched on, and sew or stick patches over those that can't be cut off. I think I'd rather have **** emblazoned on my back than BENCH.

So, buy the next size up than you usually do

There isn't a next size up!

Cut a V in the back at sew in tags so it's like a loose-fitting hospital gown

I heard it was going to be Adidas, but that was some time ago so...

 

[Thrax]

Can't beat the sight of fat middle aged men squeezed into a lycra football shirt with their gut hanging out the bottom

Will look much better in a Puma brand than a Burrda one

have you been watching me?

 

[Jenks]

I think it should be Admiral.

I like your style!

Rumours we are having Puma kit next year.

Random fact about Puma that I discovered the other day that people might not know:
Was started by Adi Dassler's brother is direct competition with ADIDAS when it was set up- called Ruda.
Changed its name to Puma.

Sorry, that's more than one fact. Meh.
Enjoy.

Do people really care that much about who makes the kit?

Considering anyone whose bought one this season has had to visit the Megastore at least twice for exchange, I would say concerns are more than worthy.

Plus this years design although exclusive to us was hardly anything new or original. Might as well have a a catalogue kit if it is made by a brand known for better quality. I doubt the money we got from Burrda was anything significant either

 

[Mawsley]

Never understood anyone being bothered about who makes a football kit - never will, beyond it not being produced in a sweat shop by 6yr-olds.

As sated plenty of times, the quality is a reason as to why people may be bothered, going to the club shop even once because the thing is falling apart is not really good enough.

Mine is holding up fine, maybe I'm a minority. My dad's is also. But then again, I don't wear it outside of going to matches for the previously mentioned reasons.

Bigger brands usually look better and are better quality and have a better fit. When I first wore my Burrda top in front of my mates the first thing they did was look at the brand and said what the hell is that, whereas if I was wearing Nike, Adidas etc. they would just nod in approval and question the badge! Now people are judged more on what they wear, that's why me and my mates buy branded designer stuff instead of a supermarkets brand

You could do both.

What it is to be young and gullible....

Suggestion. Get some new mates.

Why is it better to have friends who don't like Branded clothing? I have both, I can't really tell too much difference between them, It's not really a major deciding factor on friendship for me though.
