Adidas don't seem to excel in the English football shirt department, but that's just my opinion. Umbro for me. ;)

Agree 100%

Umbro makes me think of those delicious claret & blue strips of the 70's.
Bring them back
Umbro always reminds me of the white Villa away kit in the late 1970s with the claret and blue concentric diamond logos down the sleeves.

And the tracksuit. Blue top and claret bottoms. My pride and joy as a youngster, I was never seen without it on. They did bomber jackets as well. Think of the retro range Umbro could launch if they got the gig to make our kits again

Those Adidas Indoor supers are the most comfy trainers you'll get. 

Actually just typing that has reminded me.  I'm old.

When I think of that kit I get a picture of Frank Carrodus in a number 8 shirt.  Maybe cos I got his autograph in Lewiss'

Odd - I am sure Frank Carrodus was always number 11? On the basis that Brian Little was number 8 in that period, I can't imagine anyone else in the number 8 shirt.

pretty much all the photos of me and my mates early 80’s I was wearing the umbro tracksuit! Going back to Umbro would be massively successful financially, for the club I reckon.
