True, but the chairmen of those clubs—two American businessmen for United and a wealthy Emirati businessman for City—don't seem as tied to the England and the Umbro brand as the FA. All things considered though, I think the FA will opt for whatever brand offers them the largest contract...
It definitely makes sense from Nike's perspective, but I like having greater variety in terms of kit sponsors. You get to see different ideas/templates. Speaking of...
Tottenham's (rumored) new kit:
Valencia:
Unrelated to kit-news, here's another image of the new Messi f50 (undoubtedly...
^I was wondering the same thing. The newest kits were designed before Nike announced they were selling Umbro and Cole Haan, so I'm not surprised that England are still wearing Umbro for this tournament. I would, however, expect the switch to be announced shortly after Euro 2012 ends, or not at...
I really hope that's just an inaccurate rendering of the Liverpool third, otherwise I feel horrible for the players who have to wear them.
This is being called the Superfly IV(note the carbon fiber):
New Laser IV:

That's the Glide, here are some shots of the Vapor:
In my opinion it's the best CR7 colorway yet, and I also think it's the best model to feature the CR7 treatment yet.

I assume this is an AG Glide model, but it shows what the graphic placements on the boots will look like.
Juventus home & away
Atlético Madrid home & away
FC Porto home & away
Galatasaray home & away

I completely believe that those two designs will be Inter's home & away kits next season, I just meant that the two particular images I posted above seem a bit off. It looks like someone photoshopped the home design onto an already existing NDC image of the Brazil kit or something. I don't know...
Do you mean the design or the images themselves? Because I can believe the design is real, but it seems strange that Nike would use such a thick cuff on a monocolor sleeve. I thought it looked a bit like a photoshopped Brazil top. Also, the red on the away pops out a lot more than I'd expect...

Liverpool away
rumored Chelsea away
Inter Milan home & away—they both seem like they might be photoshopped, but if they are they're probably pretty accurate...
Both Barca kits look pretty decent when worn. I can't help but think of the away as a keeper kit every time I see it, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Those Messi f50's are nice, and the model definitely appeals to me more than the current one. That adiPure 11pro reminds me a lot of the...
That's nice, I like it a lot. It's a shame Nike will be taking over, City has had consistently well-designed home and away kits under Umbro these past several years.
Barca officially unveiled the new home & away kits
Here's the full kit when worn:
And the lettering/numbering:
Puma also released the evoSPEED in synthetic and leather
Interesting...I was thinking of getting the Vapor Pro D because I need some detachable cleats, and since they seem similar to one of my favorite cleats—the most recent Super Speed—I figured they were worth a shot. How is the heel lockdown on the Vapor Pro? I usually get mids when I want...
What's the verdict on the Vapor Talon Elite? I remember someone said the upper is so thin that it compromises stability, does anyone else have other opinions?
