New Shirts/ Kits 2013

[wonder88]

The Bohs away shirt looks good. Nivea seem to start off with rugby, but now they seem to be involved with soccer as well so the sponsorship/marketing must work for them in terms of extra sales. While I would be old fashioned in this regard it does not surprise me when one looks around at the majority of todays Irish men in the 20-30 age group. Do nivea sponsor the Gaa/Gaa players?

Nivea have been involved in Irish soccer for years.

Clubs all over the world seem to be droping Umbro and moving to addidas, Nike, Puma etc.

How many clubs in Ireland have changed from Umbro in the last few years? Sligo is the only club I know to have taken on an Umbro kit deal in last 12 months.

In 10 years time I cant see Umbro still making football kits

Nike own Umbro so it's them deciding. Plus it isn't Umbro doing the deals, it would be a reseller within Ireland.

Top Lion, who also own the Umbro Ireland and Warrior Ireland franchises.

No club here has ever dealt with Umbro, Puma, Nike international etc,. All localised deals.

There you go! Thank you Dodge.

Nike no longer own Umbro. They sold them to Iconix in December.

Before that deal went through Nike went about taking the last remaining decent deals Umbro had, ie. England and Man City.

The Norwich of the north... (not "The North")

[Charlie Darwin]

That's a bit snappier than my idea: "the Donegal of the north"

They were. Chevrons everywhere on that kit including both sponsors.

I like Hummels gear.
