Gaag Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Can't say I remember. Spot on about Motherwell getting Canterbury as a supplier or something else? If it is an off the peg number then that is deeply disappointing. Why? We're not big enough for a big kit maker to bother their arses designing kits for us. That's why I'd prefer Bukta, Xara, Matchwinner etc. type efforts as we get them done for us. Any decent sized brand and it's just a catalogue number in our colours (generic orange and burgundy.)

fatcalf Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 As already shown Puma at least offer a Hoop or a band in their current or previous dealings so there is no problem offering us a solution to our normally bespoke needs. That is of course if we want it. Could be we decide it's time for change which would be more disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Canterbury are a big company, no? are we not getting a new supplier because they went bust?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 are we not getting a new supplier because they went bust?? It was the UK operation that got into bother I think and were taken over by one of the big sports retailers. They're still on the go pretty much - concentrating once again solely on rugby. Canterbury Globally were relatively unaffected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 i'm honestly confused. i thought we had a record four year deal with a supplier then they went into admin, the contract got cancelled and that's why we're now looking for a new supplier. it doesn't really matter what they are/were called, the mob we had a deal with still went tits up.

underboyleheating Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 To be fair to Motherwell, we have been a little unlucky of late when it comes to kit suppliers. Our next move should be to side with a company who have a strong history in making football kits. Puma does seem like the best option as they have shown with Partick Thistle that they can supply bespoke kits if required. If they can do it for Glasgow’s 3rd force they can do it for Lanarkshire’s premier team. Mon the Puma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLip69 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Canterbury are a big company, no? Maybe in Rugby, but definitely not in Football and wasn't it a franchise we were signed up with anyway, Canterbury Europe or some such? No matter who we eventually end up with lets hope someone performs the necessary checks, some due diligence wouldn't go amiss this time.

SJ1210 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 The Umbro Tailored range are excellent, just a shame that the current buns will be probably be wearing that next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 The Umbro Tailored range are excellent A masterclass on simple no nonsense football kit design. Nike who now own Umbro have took a similar approach to their recent World cup kits. Football kits are becoming too busy with manufacturers logos and needless design details. And all this is before the addition of the various sponsors logos. I really hope our new kits take a leaf out of Umbro’s book and goes back to the simple basics of good football kit design.

Motherwell Football Club Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Had a look round at our 'rumoured' new kit providers 2010/11 kits and made a wee mock up. These wee dots between the sleeve and chest look rather shite mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augh! Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Seen the confirmation on the BBC there - Link I hadn't seen anything on the official website about that, maybe I had just missed it, anyone with any idea when we'll see the new kits?

That was maybe the comical hold-up Flow mentioned E_S_A is not too far off the mark but the hold up is pretty comical and not really worth going into! We don't actually have the kit yet!
