New Kit?

Was just going to say what's everyone's opinion of Under Armour?

I've just got back from the states and didn't realise how big they were. From where I was it seemed their stuff was more popular than Adidas, Puma, New Balance, Warrior etc and probably on a par with Nike. It's all types of people wearing it too - old, young, teenagers, hot birds etc.

I've bought some of their stuff for the gym and golf and it's pretty decent quality, good fit as well.

I remember when they first sponsored us they had a great presence on social media as well, interacted with the fans lots, competitions and good promotion of them and us.

Given I think they only sponsor one football team (us) and are clearly getting big (they bought the apps myfitnesspal and endomondo for $550m a few months back) and the US market is expanding massively I think this is a sponsor we could really grow with and benefit from. Looks like they are investing in the UK as well - just seen they sponsor Andy Murray too.

I see the comments above on price but I think the quality of their gear is good and they are a decent premium brand (certainly in the US anyway). They have their own outlet stores everywhere and also discounted stuff in the outlet malls. I also saw a big UA store in Tokyo last year so definitely spreading, wouldn't surprise me to see a big London store open soon. I think the cost of football gear is a separate argument that isn't unique to us or UA, seems to affect every club.

Its been mentioned before (I'm based out of US), UA is very big here, and has a reputation of better quality in general.

No idea why everyone so wants to be just another fudging club wearing a variation of a Nike/Adidas theme shared by 90 other clubs ..

Because you end up with abominations like that blue arrow thing above
 
I don't really read too much into how a kit looks, every team had good and bad kits and they change every season anyway. At least having UA we're the only ones using their templates unlike Nike/Adidas with every club using one of their 3 templates etc.

Just seen UA also sponsor Jordan Spieth, makes me more convinced they are heading in a strong direction and would be a great partner to grow with.

They are a good brand no question. But with regards to our kits, it's been a mixed bag so. I liked the kits from 2013/14, but this season and last season's kits are/were a bit naff.

The 2013/2014 home kit was the best kit we'd had in years IMO. Nice and simple but still a bit different. Wasn't so fussed on the away and 3rd choice though. I don't think we've had a year where I've liked all 3 kits with UA.
 
Can't say I'm too enamoured with that blue arrow kit, but I liked the UA home kits.

Also, it has to be said, I bought my nephew a kids jacket from the club shop and purely in terms of the quality of the materials and workmanship - compared with similar jackets from Nike and Adidas - the UA gear was top notch; streets ahead of the other brands.
 
Can't say I'm overly taken with the away kit, certainly prefer the purple kit to it. I like the home kit too.
