Errea back next year?

Would rather keep Hummel. Outstanding designs.
I've been mostly really disappointed with the hummel designs. The 18/19 home shirt is one of the best we've ever had, but the rest have been poor attempts at remakes of classic designs. The 20/21 away shirt was ok, but its hard to mess blue and black stripes up. The rest of the away kits have again been poor. Both of this season kits are awful imo.

I think errea have improved a lot in both terms of design and quality and we would be their flagship club. Plus it will no doubt make financial sense for the club too.

Regardless of who makes them though, people will still buy them.
 
I'm more concerned with all the training kit and associated gear. My two kids lap all that crap up and are ideal birthday/xmas gifts and the Hummel gear is great quality and well designed. All the errea training kit/ team tracksuits etc all look really cheap and basic.

adidas were far superior to hummel.. it was the extremely poor green wine gum that totally wrecked a whole bunch of kits

Hummel had it all and came about just a bit 'meh' to me nothing special. last season's were a half attempt at two decent errea shirts.

Errea are very much a Middlesbrough brand, I was a bit sad to see Norwich with them tbh especially when they were knocking out really tasty kits.

CONCLUSION:

Errea - 100% Middlesbrough
Adidas - had some great kits.. spoilt only by the the green wine gum and poor logo sizing
Hummel - could have done so much better, genuinely disappointed with what they churned out.

Adidas - Liverpool
Admiral - Leeds
Asics - Blackburn
Castore - Wolves
Diadora - Aston Villa
Errea - Middlesbrough
Joma - Watford
Kappa - Manchester City
Kelme - Watford
Le Coq Sportif - Coventry
Lonsdale - Sunderland
Lotto - Wimbledon
New Balance - Celtic
Nike - Arsenal
Pony - Southampton
Puma - Leicester
Reebok - Bolton
Ribero - Coventry
Umbro - Man Utd
Under Armour - Tottenham

Y'know what I mean tho..

I struggle to get hold of the training gear (especially coats) hummel have been very poor for stock, the worst yet.

I thought Adidas were really poor. I only really thought the play off season kit and the blue away in the premier League were any good.

Bar the first one, all of those Adidas ones you've included are awful.

That first one looked alright but the actual shirt was rubbish. The stitching on the band made it curl and sit weirdly. Hummel had great designs but they never had any stock. Errea were hit and miss but lots of good ones in amongst the bad. Quality of material was widely different year to year. The sponsr can make or break a kit. The smaller and more seamless it fits in with the design the better usually.

I still maintain that the only thing that spoilt the adidas kits was the treatment of the sponsors logo.

Great designs? I think they were below par. For a five year contract you should be able to smash it out of the park every year for boro. Take the white away kit with the red and blue chest band away and you have naff all.

Totally agree. The Ramsden's Currency on the 17/18 kits was horrendous. All they had to do was make the Currency font half the size of Ramsdens and it would've looked a million times better.
