    A big blow to Nike to lose such a fast-growing footballing nation.

    Bad switch by Russia. The adidas uniform templates are awful.

    The current templates aren't bad actually, it just doesn't look good for everything. For instance, the Germany home and Chicago Fire home are the same model, but while the German top is one of the best ever the Fire one is a bit off in the look and feel. This was more of a move for cash from Russia in the end though. A big payoff for one of the fastest growing footballing nations that is definitely earned.

    So the contract for England must be different for each team?

    The contract for England is with Umbro. The clubs contract kits on their own.
