They all seem to have skeletons in their closets! (Nike sweatshops etc - although apparently Nike, adidas and Puma have all considerably upped their game in this regard) He also said the most intranet thing is that the players have kit that is good quality, comfortable and allows them to get on with the job.The statement about the new manufacturer is interesting. Maybe the 'groundbreaking' side is that he has found something that has a good ethical fit but maintains good quality? Maybe something in the deal feeds into the community? No idea - just speculating.I'm sure I saw a rumour on Twitter (yes, I know) that we were going to produce our own. At a time where FFP becomes tighter then I’d be perplexed if that’s the case. For me a new brand entering UK market. Li-Ning for example

It's made of plastic?
Oh, and you have to say that's magnificent.
It will be bio-degradable. It will start out all starchy and uncomfortable, gradually improve and hit ‘the sweet spot’ for a couple of months. Before eventually disintegrating just as the season ends.Seems a good fit for the Villa.

I hope not that is our thing.If we released a shirt and there wasn't anyone saying it's the wrong claret, it's purple etc.... then i swear the world would stop spinning
