Quote crucrucrusaders="crucrucrusaders"We're having Nike. Wrexham Village (Owners of Crusaders and Wrexham FC) have done a deal to supply kits for both clubs.
I hope they're decent after the stories about Catalans shirt.
For what it is worth I think the Catalan effort this year was half decent. Simple, smart and wearable from a fans point of view. Much prefer that to the bulls effort with the swirls which they seem to be keeping for 2011's design also.'"
Widnes went with Nike in 2008.
They're not that bothered about rugby. Widnes, Catalans and Newcastle Falcons all had the same stock designs on their shirts, while the trainingwear is the same too.
However, though it may not be worth anything (or very ltitle) to the clubs in terms of sponsorship by giving the contract to Nike, I'm positive that fans are more inclined to buy the shirts and gear on sale knowing that their club's logo is next to a top sports retailer. My two cents anyway.
