i take it yr a young un andy, youd prob rather one of these funky designs, i'm a purist, just want plain and simple, just like my life!! something harking back to the heady days when football was a mans game and pitches were like ploughed fields!!

I know York City have NIKE as i had one of their shirts , it was exactly the same as Aberdeens bar the club badge and sponsor. Boring rubbish. No imagination.

In 2006 Torquay almost went with Addidas but in the end decided to go with Vanderval. I had the pictures of the kit somewhere but they me back in England.

the arsenal away kit with blue trim instead of maroon and, of course, the luscious sparkworld logo ruining the whole effect would do me for our next home kit, so simple!

Quite like these kits... can't think why.

Not fussed about these, look as cheap as ours.

From first glance, definitely has to be between Errea, Puma and Carbrini for me.

even mitre make kits i see!!

in league one scunny and the monkey hangers are nike

posh barnsley and palace in championship

oxford bradford southend nike
argyle crawley morecambe rotherham puma
barnet bury surridge
shrews joma
shots cheltenham gas errea
crewe cabrini
swindon macc adidas
burton ?
torquay vale vandanel

just a quick trawl thru the 4th division section of that website has gleaned the above list, obviously oxford and bradford are potential big sellers, but i cant imagine southend would sell many more than we would and nike have done a deal with them?

http://www.footballkitnews.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has a list of every teams manufacturer

i disagree about nike, there are several smaller clubs in england that wear their gear, cant think who off the top of my head.

kappa are just as bad as vandanel, i have a soft spot for as roma and they've worn kappa for years, consistently crap kits with kappa logo far too prominent in every design

what about umbro or admiral??

[quote="cambgull"]As said previously, there is no chance we'd get someone like Nike or Adidas on board. We'd make them peanuts and I could see us getting an equally poor service because we'd be put right at the bottom of their priorities list. Carbrini is a good shout and maybe Kappa too. The only trouble with Italian shirt companies is that they like to make their shirts skin tight, I'm not the thinnest of people and I've seen some of my fellow fatties in the ground, Kappa especially would not be a pretty sight![/quote]

They do both, skin tight and normal if need be. I have always been a big fan of Kappa.

Saying that Nike and Adidas are about in the lower leagues. Oxford, Bradford, Macclesfield to name a few.
Was looking into it and Errea and Puma are very popular around the lower league. I would like puma as i think they have made some nice kits this season for Plymouth, Rotherham, Crawley ect.

Would like something new, but deep down i could see Vandanel getting a new deal with us.
