The New Makron Shirt

The kit deal with Le Coq Sportif comes to an end in the summer with Italian sportswear company Makron due to take over. This company is somewhat of an unknown quantity and would not be many fans preferred choice of kit supplier not that we ever get a say in these matters.

The new Makron home shirt looks to be ok at least in terms of the design as they have kept the stripes and that alone will keep most people happy. There are bound to be question marks about the actual quality of the shirt. Many of these budget kit manufacturers have had complaints about faulty garments especially after use. There is not much point buying a shirt if it is going to end up in the bin after a few washes.

We never seem to get a top class kit supplier such as Nike or Adidas. Even the return of Umbro would be preferable as opposed to a cheap option. If someone wanted to buy a new tracksuit or trainers and went to their local sports store it is fair to assume the Makron range of sportswear would not be the first port of call. As far as sportswear is concerned you tend to get what you pay for so a high quality kit supplier would surely see more sales and revenue for the club.

The company originates from Italy so it would not be surprising if we suddenly develop an appetite for signing a few Italians to model the shirts in a cynical marketing ploy (Lie Tie etc). Going from Le Coq Sportif to Makron feels like a backward step regardless of how much of a forward thinking company they might be.
