Which sportswear brand to buy?

Permalink

almost 18 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

Anyone else confused on here as to which sportswear brand one should buy? The home page flashes Nike in my face, Park Life is brought to us by Puma (that alone might count Puma out) and now I am being asked a favour through Dan Finlay's recent achievements to buy Umbro.

Who is next for Yellow Fever to spread our legs for? Please be Sells Goalkeeping Products...

Three for me, and two for them.

I play volleyball, back in my younger days I wore Asics volleyball shoes beccause they fit me better than other brands. Back then it was all Nike. I say wear what ever is comfy, especially when it comes to shoes/boots, because if you get the fitting wrong it'll wreck your feet/ankles/calves!!

Have to say that Puma are a magnificent company.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I agree

. We just got rid of Diadora so we're with Puma for at least the next 2 years. New away strip hasn't been revealed yet, so I'm looking forward to that.

Only problem with the new home top is that the back is all yellow, which takes a bit of getting used to.

That's because of recent FIFA regulation that dictates that teams with multicoloured shirts (stripes, hoops, checks) have to have their numbers on a monochromatic bacckground.

That's why Croatia have a chunk of white on the back.

I would shamelessly put myself on a leash for Umbro, must admit.

It's no like Partick Thistle are going to be playing in European competition though is it!

Well, Newcastle have to have their numbers on a black background, and they ain't exactly going anywhere either, so don't cry Jag...

Umbro and Puma don't do lacrosse gear, so I guess I need to stick to Nike

I'm not really fussed about who makes the stuff - whatever is affordable and comfy is what I'm looking for.

Many a Waikato shirt has been seen at Firhill. First time I ever visited this fine country I took a Chiefs shirt back with me because of the colours.

Speaking of reps, is that cute little Reebok one still doing the Wellington area? I used to love her.

Oh Wellington is wonderful. We got the wind, the rain and the phoenix. Oh Wellington is wonderful.
