The Mighty Chaffinch 191 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I’m always very suspicious (and a bit superstitious) about certain manufacturers. I’m no fan of Macron as I associate them with failure...specifically Bolton but I can’t think of too many teams who have thrived when donning their shirts. A bit primary school second XI for me. I would relish the return of ASICS and I rate two of their shirts as my all time favourites: 92-94 and 96-98. I understand the mood surrounding an Adidas catalogue kit however I have always wanted to see Rovers run out with the three stripes on the arms...preferably reversed on each side. I’ve got a Grasshoppers Zurich kit of that ilk stashed away in the garage somewhere. I think some posters are being a bit harsh on Umbro though. I think they produce solid kits with decent trim. As always though, a bit of fan participation in the kit consultation process wouldn’t go amiss. Pigs might fly first Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Herbie6590 1509 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Puma is more likely than adidas I suspect...this is virtually the Nike one from the Jordan Rhodes era... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carbz 29 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I’ve seen some very creative kits from puma in the past. I was always a fan of the 2003-04 Fulham home kit. The Tottenham puma kits looked smart too. I’d be optimistic for a Rovers puma kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moderation Lead K-Hod 9939 Posted February 2 Moderation Lead Share Posted February 2 Must admit, I do love Adidas, just not for football kits. However, if they brought back the originals logo, I’d definitely be well into that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigdoggsteel 8223 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Kappa for me. Love their kits. Asics would also be a nice return. Adidas or Nike is just going to lead to something formulaic and bland I fear Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JHRover 13163 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 We're the sort of club with a hollowed out commercial and marketing department that would sit back and wait for manufacturers to come to us and then pick the easiest and cheapest one, rather than go out into the big wide world of kit suppliers, bringing in a lucrative or impressive deal with an interesting brand or someone with new designs or ideas. So it will be stock Umbro, Nike or Adidas and £50 for a pair of catalogue tracksuit bottoms or t shirt with a Rovers badge printed/sewn on. Limited stock only so popular items are out of stock well before Xmas with none further to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dreams of 1995 4809 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I wouldn’t mind Hummel to be honest, if someone said that as a joke! I don’t want Nike or Adidas because they design generic kits for teams like us. A smaller designer would be far better, someone who will put some thought into the kit. I would like to try New Balance as they produced a great kit for Liverpool before they pulled a fast one! Umbro have made some nice kits for us imo but always made an error on the away strip although have grown to quite like the current red and blue version. Bring Kappa on for me. Their kits were bloody good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
