They will get the Puma designs that are 2 years old and replica versions too. See Reading's kit for example. Template - which is current, but differs so much to Spurs' Puma kit. Poorer quality versions like the "Diadora" kits Watford had a few years back...
It's a shame.
i really hope this means spurs are getting a new shirt manufacture
They sent us 6,000 shirts that had the badge in the wrong place, so we had to send the back, which meant we really failed to capitalise on promotion by having shirts on sale about a month afterwards. Then when we sold out we had to wait another 2 month because they had a 6 week holiday. During this time the youth team still had not received their new kit so were playing in the previous seasons, which lost them money from the new sponsors.
You'll be one of those guillable fools that will buy any old tat because it has a tick or 3 stripes or whatever. I know this is an open forum, but is there any chance of us bringing in an intelligence test?
Probably a similar reason that Everton dropped Umbro then?
Errea are an Italian company based on the outskirts of Parma. most italian manufacturing companies close for 3 - 4 weeks during August, but Errea only close for 1 week which is always the week that contains the 15th August as this is a major national holiday in Italy.
Now THAT is an informed explanation !
What this actually means is Puma have paid more money than Errea are prepared to stump up. Obviously Burnely are poorer than we thought !
were one of the only three clubs in the premier league to have absolutely no debt so how are we poor. and plus the errea shirts are terrible i like the design but the quality is poor ive bought a new one because my old one has fallen to bits.
