I reckon Umbro will more or less cease to exist as a bona fide sportswear manufacturer. They have lost all but 2 or 3 teams and we are one of them. Umbro store is closed, and reckon JC will move the FAI Umbro franchise contract over to his new franchise warrior. Then again this is all speculation of course Even carrolls have no Umbro stock anymore bar the old kiddies stuff that they are trying to offload.------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

Both the Umbro Ireland facebook and twitter accounts are still active so I doubt there will be a change any time soon. The brand its self does seem to be quickly disappearing down the toilet though. Umbro do a grand job IMO. I'd welcome a switch back to Adidas and wouldn't mind seeing O'Neills getting the contract. Not mad on Nike football stuff and Warrior can go fook themselves. https://www.facebook.com/umbro.ie" rel="nofollow - https://www.facebook.com/umbro.ie https://twitter.com/UmbroIreland" rel="nofollow - https://twitter.com/UmbroIreland

I don't really care if it's made by Michael Guiney's, I just hope we get rid of that poxy sponsor. We are still the only country in the world who doesn't have a genuine replica kit for sale. If there is a new manufacturer we should organise a boycott until they get rid of the sponsor - hit em where it hurts. |

Ah great, hadn't seen one of these threads in a while. FAI in debt up to their bollix - solution - find a sponsor willing to sponsor the FAI without putting their logo on the shirt. Sure there must be loads of sponsors willing to do that, given the current economic boom time we are living in. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

All completely irrelevant. Pandora is out of the box as far as the sponsor goes. Who in the name a jesus is gonna sponsor us for equal or more money and get less return (i.e. the logo plastered everywhere) As Deise says, if the FAI was coming down with cash, no bother at all.

Well AntrimMan, no wonder the FAI continue to act as they do if loyal supporters like yourself are willing to take everything lying down. We're such a passive nation of little bitches sometimes, we just accept everything as it is. What's so hard about a boycott? |
Posted By: AntrimMan
Date Posted: 26 Jun 2013 at 10:51am
Boycott what? The matches. No. Just no.
The jerseys? Don't generally feel the need to buy the latest jersey but anyway. Look the logo is going nowhere. It'd be interesting to know how much the FAI get from the sponsorship deal as opposed to individual jersey sales. The current contract with Umbro runs to 2020 as JC likes to remind us - not sure about the one with 3.
TBH, i'd rather focus on things we can do something about, .ie, the singing section, atmosphere etc. ------------- @AntrimMan85 |

Jaysus no, not the matches!

The fans cant do anything about the jersey sponsor as SS says. With a bit of common sense surely you can do the maths and understand why. As a wild guesstimate I'd say it's worth more than €1.5m/yr to them. Its not just people who attend matches that go around promoting 3. Nearly every high street in the country are promoting 3 through a sports shop having the jersey in the window. Even moreso when we qualify for tournaments like last year. Its a huge asset and this money is vital to pay JD's salary and an overpaid, underachieving management team. Whatever about doing it when every game was selling out and ticket prices were at a premium during the Tiger, you must be joking if you think there is ever a chance of them pulling the plug on that revenue stream at the moment. And in my opinion is they should never pull it because its a fantastic money spinner for Irish football. And no I would rather not have the sponsor either but so be it.

all this is something that has been echoed before on this and other sites. The way to change it is to voice your objection to the sponsor, tell them you think they are w**kers for exercising this right and defiling the national shirt. We could start a petition online. At least they may have to respond in some way. Perhaps they will remove the sponsor on the next shirt as a consequence and receive lots of good publicity as a result. I will simply not buy the shirt in it's current form and have never owned an Ireland home shirt because of this. If people didn't buy it they might change approach. Anyone have a good site for petitions like this? Then we can see how many people will support this. Will see if avaaz.org will work for this... ------------- porque el Baron Rojo Sur dice... |

If the "3" sponsorship deal is worth say 2 million a year to the FAI currently.The FAI go to 3 and say "lads the fans don't want the 3 logo on the front of the replica shirts what can you do?". 3 say "No bothers John we will agree to that but we are going to reduce our sponsorship to 1.2 million a year because of it is that ok? JD says "Great stuff the lads on YBIG will be made up". At say 60 euro a shirt all the FAI need now to plug the guaranteed 800,000 euro a year gap in their commercial income is for the 13,500 Irish fans like Eddie Rincon who don't buy the Irish kit on principle because of the blob, to step up to the plate and not only buy one shirt but sign a contract to guarantee that they will buy a shirt EVERY year to fill that gap.Simples. ------------- WWW.IRELANDSOCCERSHIRTS.COM |

don't see many big dirty three's in your collection and the average fan is not to blame for the FAI's incompetence. Sack Trap and JD and you make that money back quite quickly.

Just copped its a capital I, but worth correcting all the same It is important because it defiles our national jersey. To the best of my knowledge, no other country does this and it is against consumer rights laws in Ireland to sell a shirt like this as a 'replica' bIt because FIFA outlaws national teams from competing with sponsors logos on their shirts. |

GUINNESS were at the centre of a bitter row yesterday for refusing to donate cash to a http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Childrens+hospital" rel="nofollow - children's hospital A children's hospital is a hospital which offers its services exclusively to children.

Guinness had produced tricolours with the company logo on to help boost sales during the tournament. But the promotion backfired after many groups and members of the public accused Guinness of being http://www.thefreedictionary.com/disrespectful" rel="nofollow - disrespectful dis·re·spect·ful adj.

The company admitted they "got it wrong" by plugging the black stuff on the tricolour, but refused to respond to a call from Third World charity Trocaire to make a donation to Crumlin Hospital by way of an apology for the offence caused by the promotion.

"It's all to do with bottom line - there are massive, massive profits being made out of this World Cup by Guinness and I feel that a half-hearted apology is not good enough. "It was an offence to the nation, it's an offence to the people and I think that they should pay." Mr Kilcullen added that if Guinness were genuinely sorry they should follow http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Gary+Kelly" rel="nofollow - Gary Kelly

The soccer idols have already given EUR1.5million to hospitals in both countries. Mr Kilcullen told http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/RTE" rel="nofollow - RTE (1) See runtime engine.

"Niall Quinn and Gary Kelly have made a fantastic gesture to put more than a million-and-a-half euros of their own money into this and I think it's time for Guinness to put something back into this now, and this is an opportunity." But Guinness yesterday said it already contributed heavily to charity. Spokesman Pat Barry said: "We had a promotion which was helping Irish people to wave the Irish flag at a time when their team was involved. "We attached our name to the flag because Guinness is already heavily involved in soccer." He said it was wrong to suggest the company made millions from the World Cup. And he refused to commit Guinness to handing over the EUR100,000. He said: "That is a trite suggestion which does not take account of the fact that Guinness has a substantial involvement in the community. "One hundred grand is a drop in the ocean compared to what we already give to charities and organisations across the country." Mr Barry apologised for the flag promotion. He said: "We have said we're sorry. We did get it wrong and immediately we judged the reaction from the public we stopped the campaign and we issued flags without our logo." ------------- Jackie Charlton, Eoin Hand Johnny Giles.

Too true. Have a look at their efforts for Liverpool. The home kit is okay, but the away and third kits and the training gear is truly minging:- http://store.liverpoolfc.tv/warrior/s/c" rel="nofollow - http://store.liverpoolfc.tv/warrior/s/c I fear the worse if/when Warrior get the Ireland contract |

Would the Wales adidas deal have anything to do with Gareth Bale's links to them! I would love to see Ireland return to adidas or even the O'Neills retro jersey they have before going with warrior who's kits and training gear are awful IMO just as other posters have said too...

Exactly Nvidic.....Non sense speculation and a one man confusion campaign by TJ, we do many other brands than Umbro and Warrior so why are these not being mentioned as possible successors if this was true? Umbro will be on FAI shirt for 2014 and beyond as per our FAI contact which is with Umbro Ireland and not Umbro International. Umbros new owners Iconix who are a $8 billion company are currently signing up new clubs and national associations which will be announced in due course as naturally teams and associations are not all just readily available.... ------------- Don't believe everything you read in the news papers |

Any idea as to why Umbro Ireland gear is far more expensive in our very own FAI shop, than it is everywhere else? Is there nothing you or whoever else in charge of dealing with the FAI, to bring down the price of merchandise? ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

With Shamrock Rovers now with Warrior its only a matter of time before the Ireland stuff is Warrior imo. 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? ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

i like the adidas shirt with some greener boomerangs like in the shirt, it was for euro 92 but that shirt was great, plus the older logo or badge from fai was better than the new one |

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. ------------- Blog: http://afalsefirstxi.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI Twitter: @afalsefirstxi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/afalsefirstxi/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI |

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.

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'd suggest you read my reply which I've reposted - especially the second half on it! TJ has a personal agenda and is a WUM...end of! He hasn't a clue what he's talking about and it's pure biased speculation! That's the end if my biting on this issue...tired repeating the same old thing....  ------------- Don't believe everything you read in the news papers |

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

Just stating the facts that Umbro have been asset stripped of nearly all their teams JC. I have asked you about the Westmoreland Street Store but you never replied. When it first shut you said on here that it was the high rent but then why didn't you go back into Carrolls? And they hardly stock Ireland stuff anymore, just leftover kiddies sizes and reject stock basically from what I see. Seems strange thats all. As head of Umbro ireland and supposedly wanting to rebuild the Umbro brand (or just maintain a strong footing in Irish football) it just seems unusual that you would move Rovers over to Warrior and let other teams go somewhere else. Is Warrior your main brand now? No personal agenda at play here just curious. Any idea when the new home jersey is coming out?------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |
