To be fair to Mike Ashley while he might be a crazy football chairman he knows the sports goods industry inside out and would make a right go of umbro.

Whoever they are sold to i hope the brand continues to promote its heritage.

I didn't really notice the grey parts on the Liverpool kit from the above pic. Looks terrible IMO.

Is he a "crazy football chairman"?

He bought an under-achieving club, in mid table obscurity, which was crippled by debt, and had the the sixth highest wage bill in the Premier League.

Now they have have had their best season in about ten years, have almost no debt, are one of very few clubs who are solvent, have a relatively modest wage bill, and have one of the best scouting systems in the world.

He has already achieved exactly what they are trying to achieve at most Premier League clubs. It seems to me Ashley is one of the most successful chairmen in the Premier League.

All it took was relegation and some atrocious PR!

If you look at this picture really hard, you might find some subliminal support for John Terry.

He got a bit lucky i think. No one could have predicted Pardew's success especially after he failing at West Ham, Charlton and Southampton beforehand.

All that's missing is this;

Cardiff City have made the controversial decision to re-brand the club from Blue to Red. While it may yield a few bob its just shows how rich owners don't give a hoot about the heritage and tradition of clubs

Yeah, just looked it up. They've changed their mind again. Terrible!

KUALA LUMPUR — Cardiff City FC, known as the Bluebirds, will switch to red shirts after all, the club have announced, weeks after their Malaysian owners assured upset fans they were abandoning plans to change.


Club chief executive Alan Whiteley said in a statement seen Thursday that the "revolutionary move" to switch jersey colour was decided in discussions with the owners, who have pledged to pump in more money.


Vincent Tan, a Malaysian tycoon of Chinese origin, had been considering the change because red is "luckier" as well as the Welsh national side's colour, until fans' "vociferous opposition" saw the plans temporarily halted.
But on their website, the club said their primary home colour had been changed to red, while the team would retain blue as an away option. A third kit is to be revealed later.

Ironic that they've clearly changed to red in order to appeal to more Welsh people but then plaster the word "Malaysia" across the chest.

Its done to appeal to the owners ego. Cardiff is now his play thing. The fans mean nothing. Alot of clubs have changed their colours in the past with Palace (73) and Coventry (62) being two of notoriety but it wasn't as radical as this.

The European Union has warned fans that buying a Euro 2012 shirt could be bad for their health, after some were found to contain harmful substances.

The shirts of Poland, Spain, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, Italy, France, Holland and Portugal have all been found to contain worrying amounts of chemicals, with Poland's deemed so bad it should be banned.

So who bought one of these jersey's? :eek:

Having a hard time focusing on the kit there

Also really like that PSV one, the Santos one is totally ruined by excessive sponsorship.

Hate that most South American clubs are now tryin to plaster as many sponsors on the kit as possible, it'll end up like NASCAR.

Not only that but the badges on the nike made kits are not even embroidered. could understand that on the player worn shirts but they are charging enough for supporters jerseys in the sportshops

''Swansea City have today ( June 11, 2012) unveiled their centenary year home kit for the 2012/2013 season. The Swans 2013 home kit is an all white strip ( white shirt, white shorts and white socks) with gold on the club crest, 32 Red ( sponsors) logo and stripes on the sleeves to mark the club’s centenary year.''

Very Real Madrid that jersey is. I love it!

Gold trim on a white shirt is chavvy but sure look that's just my opinion. Its not so bad as a trim against any other colour like Chelsea's home shirt

Sometimes it can work as the primary colour. Arsenal's away and Man United's 3rd shirt for example were nice shirts back in 01-02.

Barca had a goldy away that season but it needed the collar to be a different colour then gold. That let it down big time

Maybe, but imagination isn't always a good thing. Someone was being a little too imaginative with the new Manchester United tablecloth jersey.

HazDanz

Remove 32Red as sponsor and stick on the Mcvities gold bar logo on that Swansea Jersey and you have an instant hit.

I have a Roma home jersey from 3/4 years ago and I've never considered getting a new one as the ones since have looked pretty much identical.
