In that case I'll tell you.
Nike bought Umbro about 2 years ago

Well in that case the designs are awful!

Thats because Nike 'OWN' Umbro but have left the company 100% untouched.
No redundancies were made.

They are in effect exactly the same company, just with a hefty helping hand from Nike!

Thus, why the designs are still pants!

Canterbury or Kukri could offer a superb alternative.

And if a big player wanted to step in, Puma could broaden their portfolio.

I take it you are joking
Have you not heard the trouble Sheffield had and have you never seen a Kukri shirt?

Canterbury and Puma are by far the two best suppliers who may be interested in bidding for Hull FC but dont rule out Steeden who were only denied Harlequins this year because of a board member taking it upon himself to do another deal even though they had agreed a deal. An upcoming brand with an already massive foothold in World Rugby League because of the Balls and equipment deals they have.

If I was a Hull fan I would be seriously hoping Puma want the gig, their training wear is simple but always well fitting and polite on the nipple.

Sorry just found that funny!

Kukri dont seem to have a problem supplyig most other teams and other sports!

Just because of one bad example in Sheffield doesnt mean the whole company is wrong.
