Au contraire. I'm 6' 3" and they fit perfectly.
So this new kit deal then

- Start date
They do Irelands kits too, couple of fantastic ones recently. The two-tone green shirt with gold pinstripes was especially brilliant.
To be honest, I don't mind who makes the shirt as long as it's not Addias, can't stand their trademark "stripes" down the sleeves and shorts. Exactly the same on every type of clothing they make. If they offer us by far the most amount of money though, I may reconsider...
Nike are the biggest brand with the most exposure in all the biggest markets. Their marketing approach is brilliant. It's important to build a solid relationship with them and position ourselves as their flagship club, similar to how Adidas have Madrid/Bayern.
Umbro doesn't quite cut it.

Nike also have a huge a huge portfolio of players. In terms of image rights, it makes it (slightly) easier to sign players.
Definitely. There are many benefits to being associated with them. This whole idea of selling ourselves to the highest bidder with no regard to any other factors is complete nonsense.
I'd prefer us to stay with Nike for the reasons that @bigredmachine states and also because I'm a fan. However, the more bidder the higher fee we will get, and I am very confident that Nike will pay what they have to in order to keep us.
I'm 6'11/2 and their jeans were a crap fit- was a few years ago not long after the Oxford Street branch opened- maybe they have improved. Reiss seems to be the best fit for taller, slimmer blokes.
As above and I weigh just over 12st. Fat I aint by any metric.Tall..right. Go lose some weight fatboy.
They come in loads of different sizes though. Massive selection of waists and leg length, all available in loads of different cuts. Loose, standard, slim, skinny etc. If anything, ernng on the side of being too slim. They've even got "jean leggings". Which is an aberration really.
I sound like I work for them now. I don't.
I wondered where you got too after the bond movies..still got those big metal teeth?
Nike wont let anyone trump them for the United deal but if they do Umbro would be brilliant to see on our shirts again
Djokovic clothes looks shit as feck. Didn't know that was uniqlo. we better stay away from that.
Nike won't go anywhere imo. They lost arsenal and they don't have any other big club in England. There is no way they abandon all the big English clubs imo.
Jeggings? I'm sold. Seriously though, if the fit was half as good as the price they would have been onto a winner. It was annoying- tried several pairs and they all looked crap because of the fit or length. CK jeans are far better.
eh?
I'd imagine Ed is saying to Uniqlo that it's £10m pa on top of what a know brand offers, hence the £80m a year quoted. Bit of a risk for someone unknown in the sports kit world.
Would love to see Adidas back. I do think Nike make some decent kits, especially the new International kits, but we always get naff concepts thrown at us.

City. Their brand equity is growing rapidly. They will be atleast as popular as Chelsea soon.
Fair muff. You're probably a pickier man than me, when it comes to buying trousers. My main criteria would be staying up and concealing legs. So far Uniqlo cacks have yet to let me down on either front.
I don't want Adidas anywhere near the club. Their kits are awesome, but they wouldn't position (or pay us even) as well as they should.
Hidden gem, that.
The United kits of the 80s which adidas produced for us were iconic.
I'd give them the contract on the sole condition that they'd have to use the 'adidas Originals' logo on the strip.
Be fücking top, that.

That's a good starting point. Just hate it when jeans are baggy round your arse so it looks like you have shit yourself or are too long or short. Not massively fussy and when I do get new clothes I will tend to wear them til they are falling apart such is my lack of desire to go clothes shopping.Uniqlo's market cap is close to USD40B, I think it's safe to say they're also a premier global brand.
If they offer enough Ed might even let them sack Moyes.
Moyes is universally despised in Japan.
Adidas please.
Uniqlo outfit Djokovic as well as some golfers....I think Adam Scott is one.

Manchester United to revolutionise official kit supplier approach when Nike contract expires
Manchester United consider copying American National Football League to offer three types of shirts to supporters depending on price and linking up with fashion brands and retailers
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...lier-approach-when-Nike-contract-expires.html
Manchester United could have more than one official kit supplier once their deal with Nike runs out next year.
The Premier League club are considering a revolutionary new approach and are talking to retailers and fashion brands as well as the usual kit suppliers.

It would explain the Uniqlo bit then.
The player edition kits are what you can buy off sites like aliexpress and moreshirt so they'd have to crack down on them pretty hard for it to work.
£100m a year though ... wow ... Woody could have made the money for himself and bought Glazers out.

Err... at this point, he needs to make up for a summer of botch-ups including the over-paying of a certain player
I'm not excusing him for that ... but the money he is bringing in is huge. I'll excuse him though if he delivers a summer muppet fest.
For NFL teams you can buy authentic jerseys for something like $200. Never understood why EPL teams didn't do the same. The NFL is amazing in maximizing revenues-so anything transferable to United on the commercial side is a plus.
The number just keeps going up. It will be really interesting to see where it actually ends up
So in order to be ready for shipping kits in the summer of 2015 they need to have a design finalised in the next few months?
Yeah, our income is looking good, I can see the Glazers throwing money at Louis van Gaal trying to get him to sign players and him resisting with all his might trying to insist he is that good of a coach he can make good players look great.
What a turn of events that would be...

If the writer wasn't Ogden I would be skeptical. But since the guy seems to be the most trustworthy journo on United matters, I'm willing to believe it - even though it sounds crazy.
So much money to spend.... All aboard the Muppet Express. Set phasers to "Muppet" etc etc.
I do wonder if this seasons performance will have any impact on what sort of deal we are able to get. Obviously we arent talking a MAJOR difference, but a few £m/year adds up to a fairly big cost over 5-10 years.
It's more likely that it would be based around the manufacturer's sales numbers than anything else. As long as they stay high and they make a hefty profit by selling the shirts, I doubt the manufactuer cares where we are in the league.
Umbro is...something for minor clubs nowadays lol
