Warrior Ireland

If as JC says its going to be umbro why have Bohs and Rovers both left umbro as nearly every other umbro team? Why has the umbro shop in westmoreland street been discontinued? If it is umbro then why the sudden "extinction" of the brand? When is the next home jersey coming out if it is umbro? Bohs went to Macron because the deal was far better financially than the previous umbro and diadora deals, simple as that. The warrior home Liverpool kits have actually been very nice, it's the away ones that look bogey. I see no reason to doubt JC on this anyway.

Why the Rovers switch then? They were Umbro Irelands marquee team.  If Umbro Ireland are different to Umbro international then why have they lost at least 2 of their main LOI teams? Why has the umbro shop shut down never to be seen again-presumably? Why has the umbro.ie website not been updated in ages? It still has Rovers as one of their teams. It's still advertising the  black Ireland jersey as the 'new Ireland away kit' which was launched last March. Why have nearly every umbro team in Europe switched to someone else?  The company has been asset stripped of every team it seems. We will see what Pats and Cork have next season.
 Just seems logical to me that there is a mass move away from umbro by all its teams so I don't see why Ireland would be any different.  I'm sure JC can switch over the contracts to Warrior seeing as he holds both licences here.

'Oh and one more thing sir...'

No doubt theyre pulling out/being sold off worldwide, sure look at their remaining teams they sponsor here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbro#National_teams ...sweet f**k all left.

But I reckon we're with them as per contract agreements till 2020. My guess is i that time we wont see as many jerseys released as we have in the past few years, and if we see new ones they'll most likely be rehashed designs.

I quiet like our umbro stuff.. we have got some great one off stuff that we wouldnt get with other brands, and johnnycee is a personal touch which we simply wouldn't get with adidas nike puma or o'neills. One gripe I have is the current jerseys dont fit great on my beer belly(possibly not umbro's fault ) on this note what happened to umbros robbie keane 60 goals jersey which was mentioned on twitter
