Just my thoughts on the kit deal
Nb have made some nice kits
But can’t provide the services required to deliver products on time .
Our shirts are allways out of stock and backlog of orders .
I am sure the club have looked at this and found it not good .
Unfortunately nb struggle across the board with most uk sponsored sports they have made a push into over the last few years since they pushed there brand .
I no this first hand . I ordered a England cricket World Cup winners shirt after the World Cup win
Max time for delivery 4/ 5 weeks this was in July
It’s now October still not here .
Spoke to companies about this
Truth is nb don’t have the power to make kits quick Enough to back orders.

They've made some really decent kits! Our home kit now is the best in years. But for me it's all about money, and if we can get more money out of Nike per season for transfers then Nike it is.

kop, of course they can make kits quick if they need to, the issue i would assume is minimum order quantities and timing. kits are seasonal, you don't want to flood markets with what is essentially a fashion item which is out dated by end June.

Been following the court proceedings today, NB getting an absolute battering, making up figures as they go along, its clear they can't match Nike in the distribution and accessibility market. And with our new deal being based on a percentage of the sales then they can't match the over all package.

I am from India. there are literally no nb stores here. even those stores which are there have nothing except shoes. im rooting for nike.

Nike are a soulless corporate entity that likes to virtue signal on false social justice issues while employing child slave labour in third world countries to make their products. We'll be doing a deal with the devil. I would love for Adidas to nip in and do a deal right under their noses while the squabbling goes on.
