    Well they're still sell the Avec at Nike prices.

    See I think that everything is about brand. Sunderland were quick enough to bin them off for Addidas I believe.

    14k crowd and the best we can do for a kit supplier is Avec. Just shows the 14k support means nothing now. Real Nike should be wanting a bit of us not some fake rubbish.

    Lazy deals at Bradford City.

    Agree so they just signed the 3rd highest deal in the world behind Real and Barca with the REAL NIKE!

    Largest in PL History. Thanks NB but bye. NB even took Nike to court because they wanted to stay with Liverpool that badly.

    You don't do lazy commercial deals to tick a box. Bradford City remind me of a tennis player on a ATP Tour wearing his summer holiday shorts and top while the others are kitted out in Nike, Lacoste and other top makes.

    I have no idea what the price of replica kit is but irrespective of the manufacturer, I'm confident it will be overpriced. I really don't mind who makes our kit and even what the design is. A change is just yet another change for me. I know that's not a popular view but my focus would be on it being claret and amber. That's what's important. Or as Nike call it in their pattern book Varsity Red and Old Gold! Itsy bitsy clubs like ours do not get custom colours from the likes af Nike and Adidas. We have to make do with their standard colours.

    The biggest clubs are courted by the Nikes,Adidas and Pumas etc.

    The rest get the best deal available to them. There are big clubs out there with second rate shirt manufacturers.

    The biggest clubs do get good brand names but the likes of Leyton Orient have New Balance, Salford have Kappa.

    We've Avec but with 14k fans..Something not right there.

    The club gets a small percentage on shirt sales, when season tickets are ridiculously low i don't think we can complain about the price of shirts.

    We had Nike, and we actually already know what the problems are.

    We got to the League Cup final, play off final at Wembley, and struggled to kit out as many fans as we could have because Nike only made more shirts when enormous orders were put in - far bigger than we needed.

    This is old ground; fetishising big brands is pretty silly.

    I quite like this. Would have been better if the v neck was black. Socks are nice.

    Fordy mate, you sound like a school boy banging on about brands... capitalism has you hook line and sinker if you think Kappa is any better quality than Avec.

    As much as I didn't like the fact that Nike used stock colours for us, I did like the quality and the feel. In fact I'm wearing our Nike white away shorts as I type this. I also liked the fact, that outside of people who know Bradford City, others who haven't (generally those who only have known Premier league football, or like the Estonians I meet here in Tallinn) are suprised that such a "big" brand, kit out a "small" club like Bradford. These are the same sort of people who are not suprised to see an unheard of brand like Avec, manufacturing shirts for Bradford City. And this new one, we're even giving Avec even more brand space, by plastering it all over the sleeves. I do like the shirt, its very "us" and I'm glad they've not gone off piste with some untraditional design just to make a statement. The socks are especially nice.
    50 quid however, for a shirt when the season was cut short, and there's no indication when or how the new season is going to be, I think takes the piss a bit.

    No, I sound like someone who looks for better commercial deals.

    Kappa is a better brand than Avec and you only need to look at us being their biggest client to understand that.
