Yep, it's making a lot of people look like idiots.

Not really the Under Armour deal was signed whilst we still had a year of Puma left. So talk of the Nike deal is valid. This won't be a last minute we've signed with Nike like QPR agreement that led to generic template rushed kit.
All I know is I run in a lot of UA kit, because it is well made, comfortable, and good at wicking away sweat. Nike, on the other hand seems to me to be lower quality and less comfortable. It depends on whether you want form or function from your sports wear. I want kit that works, in a simple design. But I can understand why others consider the aesthetics more important than performance - to each his own.
Truth is the majority of replica kit wearers are not people that require technical sportswear.

That Colonel, is spit-out-tea funny!!
You're so very right too... the main criteria of most Fans' replica kit is; DOES IT GO WITH JEANS?
Who thinks when paying their sixty notes, ohhh I love the venting and form hugging this kit offers as it'll perform really well when sat in the stands, or down the pub, or doing the gardening (scratch that), sat on my sofa eating wotsits and drinking Holsten?
I forgot about the timing of the Under Armour deal, you're not wrong!
Under Armour and Tottenham Hotspur announce Technical Sponsorship and Global Partnership 8 March 2011 - News - tottenhamhotspur.com
Important to bear in mind that we announced that back in March 2011 - a time when our profile was boosted by competing in the Champions League that year, but then dampened by failing to finish in the top 4.
We've kept our enhanced reputation, but of course are in an entirely different situation: challenging for the title and playing damn good football in the process. With the added bonus of having England's two highest profile rising stars in our ranks.
Levy must be pinching himself at being in this position for the new kit deal negotiations. Surely we now have a lot of leverage to get a really good deal from, say, Nike.
That'd do wonders to help us stay competitive against our rivals, as they all get money thrown at them through sponsorships/endorsements.
Wow announced on my birthday no less! I remember wondering who Under Armour were? Think they had a foothold in rugby union kits at the time?
It does make you wonder why we haven't made any similar type of announcement yet, even though it's a month later in the year.
Waiting to see what our final league position is, perhaps?
You wanna see my tits?

I wasn't a fan of the UA stripes, however I look at it now and don't mind it. As it reminds me of this amazing season we're having. Nike will need to come up with something plain and simple with all that bullshit technical stuff incorporated into the kit. Not bothered by the Woolwich connotations as they now have Puma with who we had 5 memorable seasons with. Must be galling for them if we sign up a deal with Nike for more than what they get!?!
We're going to end up with record breaking deal with Macron, Errea, Admiral or NB aren't we!
