Exactly! Your likes of Liverpool, United and Chelsea etc wil always get a bit more say and differing designs but Adidas do Stoke, Newcastle, Derby & Boro too and all kits look virtually identical or are often very simialr to kits a top side will have had the year before!

and most of the time they only have crappy printed crests and sponsors anyway, that start curmbling after a few washes.

I suspect that was just for the mock up on the flier. It's the Barbarians rugby union shirt.

Puma fella

IIRC the contract with Stobart is 5 years on both the stadium and the club sponsorship and the contract with O'Neills was for 4 years.

Which means both the kit supplier and sponsor will be the same next season i just hope that we get more money for giving them both more exposure.

Even Puma are up to it;

Newcastle 2010/11


Olympiacos 2010/11


Lazio 2010/11

So it is... Same family anyway. No worries

I really hope that Tosco is not on our shirt next year, I dispise the company

If widnes' kits next year are:-

- Made by either adidas or Nike; and
- Are sponsored by Tesco

Then that really will be very impressive and those that don't take you seriously will certainly sit up and take notice.

The O'Neills deal runs until the end of next season.

Fair enough, wasn't sure tbh. Though was sure someone working at the shop / for O'Neils said deal ran up to possible start of SL (which makes sense for both sides) when discussing who gets money out of shop a while back.

Personally, I hope the club do stick with O'Neills as I don't think they could hope to get a fraction of the co-operation from the likes of Nike et al as they have had from them.

I think O'Neills have done a great job of working with the club and for fans the kit quality has been excellent, just hope they can use this to compete with the big boys when they wave their wads!
