Pilchard Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Why on earth would the top suppliers want to be associated with pricks like Richard Dunne and Stephen Warnock, thugs like Alan Hutton and the boring, turgid, unsuccessful rubbish that McLeish has made his brand?

Zatman Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Have the red Napoli kit and its actually nice. I cant imagine Nike and Adidas killing each other to make our gear.

spiezels Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Macron kits are shit. FACT! Hope to god its not true. Are they shit because of what? Crap design? Poor quality? Horrible logo? Rubbish teams wear the kit? Low level brand recognition? If you took a Macron shirt and applied say a Nike swoosh or the triple bands of Adidas would it become suddenly good? Because of everything you just listed. Crap designs, crap colours, crap material, crap sounding name (sounds like a sports brand you'd find in matalan. Brand recognition also comes into it in terms of the club as a brand also I'm sure. I was just as **** off with Nike as everyone else so I'd prefer a change but not to macron. I really like our current home kit inc the black socks. If on the whole it benefits the club in terms of revenue and exposure then I'll accept it but on an aesthetics basis (a huge factor in how well a kit sells) I hate macron.

juanpabloangel18 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Whatever, if they're offering the most money. Pretty bad indictment if we can't attract any major kit-makers any more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtelower Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just looked at their kits - I've never heard of them, and as long as they are claret and blue, made quite well and not cheap and tacky, I couldn't care if they are made by Primark But, having checked their sites, all the shirts look horrible, the West Ham looks like the very cheap shiney material and every kit has got some silly man holding a ball logo on the shoulder. Oh dear ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 every kit has got some silly man holding a ball logo on the shoulder.That's what I don't like the most. If it wasn't for that they might not look so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killeen30 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Macron... 'kin hell. Yeah thats exactly what I thought! Its a big disappointment for me as I am big into my shirts and collect them. Adidas would have been my first choice, the the likes of Umbro, Puma, Kappa etc If even the like of Fulham can get Kappa then why can't we?! I hope its not true. Any word on how long the deal will last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 it makes no odds who makes the top, as long as its out on time and is the right colour. Exactly, its not going to be shit quality it'll be the same as every other football shirt. These shirts arent made by Vivienne Westwood or Paul Smith they are football shirts for **** sake made out of polyester and not by a skilled seamstress or tailor. People take a look at the name, know **** all about it, then go into moan mode because it isnt the amazing Nike who people also moaned about. There is nothing wrong with the look of the kits on their website, they just look modern and a bit quirky and like I said earlier without the risk of sounding too metrosexual the cut looks very good. Do people know that Macron is Italian and what are Italians mainly known for? Cars and clothing. Anything for a moan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The Napoli kits are terrible. I had a feeling we would get a crap kit maker. Adidas Umbro Nike Puma any of them above macron. You say you don't care as long a we get the biggest revenue on the club but if the kits are poor (which they will be either look or quality or both) then I for one won't buy one and I can guess I wouldn't be alone there thus making the club less money in sales and further more the training gear. Last season the blue N90 jacket was every where when it came out. Macron is a bad choice. One of my friends have a Napoli shirt - very nice - so I think it could be all good. I don't really like this years villa shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Napoli have nice shirts. Honestly, as long as it brings in the biggest amount of revenue, I'd happily take Macron. I've hated most our Nike kits outside the original white away and the blue/black shirt. Hmm that's tough. Probably right, then middle, then left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Napoli are my second team and if you disregard the big **** off ugly sponsor on the front the shirt itself is very nice (especially the away) and the material and cut are pretty good too. But don't let silly things like facts get in the way of a good 'ole moan. I fully agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCAM Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The whole thing with 'the kits don't look that bad' is a stupid point to make... Foreign kit looks ok when you're wearing it when you're playing on the training pitch/park etc...but when an English team pulls on a foreign looking shirt in a Premier League game, they look like tits! All of their kits look like they would blend in around Europe, but not in the Prem... I'm pretty gutted, I've always wanted to see blue sleeves with 3 claret strips on them... Next thing I can see being annouced is selling is that we're upping the season ticket prices to evidence the rise in talent on show at Villa Park...

They are all made in the same sweat shops with the same material, just a different label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I had really hoped for Adidas but kind of knew it was a long shot, but Macron is a big let down. Their shirts look cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
