    I hope we get Puma, I was honestly jealous when I saw Posh had Puma. I had a quick look at their online store & they've got a load of Posh Puma stuff for sale, treble the amount we have.
    Not the one I’ve been told but I personally would be happy with them, don’t think we’ve ever had them before but they’re a classic British company. I say this all with massive asterisk as I’ll never claim to be ‘in the know’. 

    Heard similar, although would be them ‘getting back into football kits’ type affair so hopefully some good kits! 

    Let’s hope we aren’t playing away at Bolton next season
    Bolton…The Reebok = Reebok?

    The company that held the license for the kit brand (Reebok) we were going to wear went bust, so I'm not sure what happened with the deal. 

    As for Puma and Adidas, if you want a template kit, cool, but I'd rather went with someone who could do a nice bespoke thing for us. 
    Peterborough got a bespoke kit from Puma. So I'm sure we would too

    Peterborough United is woven into the fabric of the city. That’s why we’ve made your city, our city, the front of this season’s home shirt.At the heart of the city is the stadium, which is why at the heart of the shirt is the Peterborough United crest.

    The spin is incredible, Peterborough as a city doesn’t have much heart but if it did it certainly wouldn’t be the stadium!

    We have a puma sample shirt in the museum and the design is very lazy

    Reebok are owned by Authentic Brands Group, who are based in Boston Massachusetts, so would make sense if it's a US based supplier who is taking over.

    They had sub contracted the team wear in the UK out to a license holder, so that’s who the deal is with, same licensee had New Balance on the books. 

    Leigh Leopards are wearing a Reebok kit in Super League, but suspect that was delivered a while ago 
  • O’neils would be my choice, I think Bristol City’s kit is smart

    O'Neils are excellent quality. I own quite a few GAA kits and training tops and the quality is brilliant 

    They do some decent designs too

    Am watching the Blackburn v Wolves game, would Wolves shirt be described as a banana colour? This colour is far removed from their gold colour tops.

    That Puma shirt looks like a really cheap training shirt someone's brought of ProDirectSoccer or something. 

    Not even as if they could pass that off as simple or "retro ", it just looks lazy and cheap

    Yes, it's like the very first Nike kit, which wasn't just a generic pub team kit, it was also the wrong colour.

    Puma kits are awful, if we were having a random brand then Kappa isn't too bad, apart from the fact they make most things skin tight!

    Charlie said they were unbelievably unprofessional towards us.  There were loads of issues with other club kits too.  I think they’ve gone too big too quickly.  Quantity over quality.

    Picked up Castore stuff in other sports and the quality just isn't there when I put it next to say our Hummel shirts or some of the older Joma shirts 

    Not surprised to hear they're not that professional to deal with, feels like they got a big pot of investment money and just went crazy signing deals left right and centre. 

    They've just lost the McLaren F1 deal to Puma too.

    I think they massively underestimated the logistics of actually getting kits made and delivered. All their efforts have gone into winning contracts.

    They've pivoted into Rugby in the last few years, lots of deals done, and now the England kit supplier

    The retro stuff has still not come out?  I was thinking there were a few different ones being sold.
