I reckon Nike will provide the best range of clobber overall.

Was it not a 8/9 year contract?

If Canterbury are capable of producing something that's actually respectable then fine. Otherwise I think Nike would be better.

PR releases at the time said an 8 year deal starting in 2009/10 season. E.g. http://www.irishrugby.ie/news/14199.php

Get out clauses are not unusual, I'd imagine, in such sponsorship deals. It suddenly being a 5/6 year deal is a bit odd, alright.

I thought every jersey they brought out was much to be honest.

Would like it to go back to CCC.

As the people who brought us the turquoise and black Ireland alternate jerseys, I say good riddance to Puma.

I have to say that Under Armour as a brand is very Cool. Would happily follow the Welsh
Anything except Adidas, or god forgive me, an unknow brand such as Burrda (Saints, Toulon Biarritz)

Good point, they were both hideous, especially that turquoise yoke!

As i said in the thread in the Leinster section;

Wouldn't mind seeing O'Neills get the deal (nice shirts and an Irish brand). Probably can't compete with the likes of Nike/Adidas/CCC though. Rugbytech can make a nice shirt too every now and then.
