aawagner011 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The real question is why that brand new United top is marked at 30% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdu Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The real question is why that brand new United top is marked at 30% off.My first thought, too, then I remembered being in Lillywhites and other sporting goods stores in London and it seemed like everythin was on sale, even the new stuff.

shaydre1019 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Man, those brazil uniforms looked pretty bad, imo. The green on the sleeves, i thought, was intended to be like a big piece of elastic and fit tightly around the arms, but it's just loose and shiny and looked bad on just about everyone except for hulk. The shorts also look kinda cheap with that huge white stripe on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Darren Rovell reported Nike is selling Umbro and Cole Haan. This explains why they are moving Manchester City to Nike.Here's a link:My linkThe person who commented on the bottom of the article about Nike gutting Umbro is spot on.No doubt. That's shady to buy a company, strip it clean, and then dump it with a, "Well, yeah, you're making more money every year, just not enough for us." The 'profitability' of Umbro wouldn't be an issue if Nike didn't syphon all its major assets.

aawagner011 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 New PSG kit. I like it a lot, though it doesn't really fit them. Not really PSG without the red stripe, though I still dig it. Looks fresh and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest23 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Darren Rovell reported Nike is selling Umbro and Cole Haan.

The 'profitability' of Umbro wouldn't be an issue if Nike didn't syphon all its major assets.This is standard operating procedure for the modern executive:Step 1: you need to show that the business is growing so you make a few "strategic acquisitions" to expand your "portfolio" and "reach in the marketplace" maybe even "grow your presence in new and emerging markets". Plus you'll "improve margins" through "shared costs and synergies".Step 2: You've got too many brands and no company strategy, your acquisitions are dying on the vine because you aren't investing in them because you don't want to "cannibalize your core business" so it's time to divest some "non-core assets" and "free up cash to perform cutting edge r&d" and of course "focus on the core business & consumer". If you've really screwed things up you have to "get back to what you do best".Rinse and repeat until you've collected enough stock and you can take off in your golden parachute.
