Adidas lost out on that battle.I wasn’t aware that Wigan were changing their kit manufacturers this summer from the JJB brand to Umbro, but they are.If you want to purchase shirts of your favorite Premier League clubs before they disappear from the shelves, visit the EPL Talk Store where we have a collection of all 20 clubs plus some rare items.
That’s interesting about Wigan. I wonder if they are opening up bidding for stadium naming rights, too? One has to think that JJB wouldn’t be too happy about losing the uniform rights.
Where was the original announcement of the release dates for Premiership kits? I don’t doubt you but am curious about the primary source? Thanks.

Is it possible that JJB is getting out of the making uniforms biz, and they simply decided to sell the uniform rights?
