libcom.org/news/talking-about-working-conditions-not-crime-07122011Just saw this online when doing the rounds. The factory where a lot of Lotto sportswear is made (and by potential extension, the training and replica gear we sell in the club shop), has been firing workers for trying to form a union...and are now taking one of them to court for "defamation" of the company's image. That's a criminal offence over in Brazil. I know we are hardly the only club to use their stuff, and the other big sports companies aren't much better. Just thought it was a shame.

I hate Lotto, they make some of the worst kits ever!! Our away kit this year makes me sick.
I hope we get a big deal with Nike or Adidas, maybe even Puma. Imagine this years Celtic home kit but with slightly larger hoops and obviously blue instead if green.

Puma kits are horrible! Look at what they've done with Newcastle! My favourite kits are Umbro's. They are always classy, like Manchester City or England's kits.

That's just the tip of the iceberg compared to what big companies are doing in some South American countries and even closer to home. This documentary shows how one multi-national company has allegedly kidnapped, tortured and murdered union leaders trying to improve working conditions: documentaryheaven.com/the-coca-cola-case/

Puma kits are awful, that Spurs kit is terrible.
Think Lotto are half decent, but they made a pigs ear of our kits this season.

i liked last seasons kit, this seasons is ok, last seasons away i liked also, so overall i think lotto have apart from this season done ok with kit designs, puma yuk, there thing seems to be those tight fitting kits no thanks, umbro are good in my opinion england kits are usally pretty good, and some of there training gear is alright as well, but like rory i like addidas they would be my first choice.
and on treating workers like shit i think all big co-operations are guilty of this in way of sweat shop factorys and alike.
