No. It's mainly Umbro and Jako that make the shirts. There're lovely, top quality Diadora shirts on the market if you are interested in them.
Hi all,
just a quick one. Do nike do anything for the EL or Irish football in general, I know Umbro do a lot and they're owned by Nike now but as a name do they do anything for irish football?
All the best,

Limerick 37 have their kit made by Errea. Nike couldn't afford us.

Waterford's new kit is Errea after a couple of years with Diadora. Prior to Diadora we were with Nike for a year or two. According to one of the lads close to the club, the guys from Nike acted like pr!cks when the contract was to be renegotiated and gave the impression that they really couldn't give two hoots. Nice.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

By the way IFK please withdraw the Fake Diadora comment. Its incorrect
Maybe the Waterford lads weren' up for the whole Joga Bonito lifestyle and way of playing, on second thoughts I'm probably wrong!
How does a sports equipment manufacturer "do something" for Irish football? None of them donate equipment.
Fergal Harkin worked for years with Nike in Ireland. I believe he is moving to the Northern England to look after Nike contracted players in the Premier League etc over there.
Monaghan wore nike kit going back about 4/5 seasons ago but i think they bought it themselves as opposed to being sponsored by them
bought a lot of nike kit and leisure wear for my local junior team quality stuff but not cheap. very easy flog it though
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
a lot of teams in the aul and leinster senior league wear nike kit
So obviously bought with a crest stuck on!
Nike have contributed to the eL for years by employing Fergal Harkin. Here's what he was doing when he wasn't playing for Bohs.
Legend.
In Trap we trust

In the same way Milan saw Longford Town play once, loved the jersey so much..... the rest is history......
I think Glenavon in the Irish League have their kits made by nike.
