ok im not as smart as some on here but where does it come in that WE pay say Nike for them to make our shirts?
yet other teams are paid by nike, im sorry but that sounds spurious to me.
i thought teams had kits "sponsored" by the manafacturers then both parties took a percentage of the profits ie cheaper the cost to make, more profit shared between the two hence a "brand" name hardly ever heard of like Macron makes far cheaper products so if the club can still sell them for the same price as a better quality/bigger name maker then more profit is made for both makers and club and the club can negotiate a bigger margin of the profit only loser is of course the fan buying it who pays a similar price for a lesser known name brand and most likely lower quality product than say as mentioned arsenal's nike shirts.
as i stated earlier get back to Umbro or Admiral proper football kit makers.
incidently the founder of Adidas and founder of Puma are brothers, little bit of trivia

Ps i know previously when refs only wore black some teams second strips "clashed", but now with refs wearing green, red, yellow etc what exactly is the point of third strips except for money making?
