June 2, 20251 yr Not seen the name around much these days. Glad to see they are still kicking - even though it's Boston, Massachusetts now rather than Bolton, Lancashire.
June 3, 20251 yr Iirc, once Adidas bought them, the brand went quiet. Could be wrong with this, but I seem to remember the brand going independent again, or something of that ilk.

June 3, 20251 yr Couple of UK companies can produce with their logo under licence so just glorified team wear really Leigh RL stuff is Reebok this year and produced by a company in Leeds

June 3, 20251 yr I know it's ridiculous but i did feel a twinge of disappointment that we weren't the first club they came back in to English football with. Would have been a good marketing story if nothing else.
June 3, 20251 yr Yeah Each to their own but the last few kits they made for us were fucking dreadful I also think as a brand they're on a par with the likes of Fila, Dunlop, Slazenger, etc. now I.e. prime Sports Direct fodder

It would've been lovely, but we've already got a multi-year contract with Macron for kit manufacture (ending 2030/31), and Victorian Plumbing for sponsorship (ending 2026/27).

The word "no" is available. If that confuses any of them then upgrade to "wtf do you call that pile of shite ?" can be tried.
