News Dana White says next fight kits will be made by either Nike, Under Armour, or Venum

[Zarate]

Karl Kani.

why not fubu?

 

[Volador]

Lol at Venum. Underarmour makes sense, GSP would promote them constantly so they might have a history of being successful with mma. Not sure if Nike would give UFC too much importance.

I really hope they get rid of these shitty Reebok patterns. Let the fighters go nuts with the designs. Give O'Malley rainbow shorts and things like that. People would actually buy their favorite fighter's "signature" shit. The current model of "black" vs "white" vs "gold" is fucking horrendous.

 

[blaseblah]

Venum is probably the brand that would stand the most to gain being associated with the UFC. I don't know how much they could offer though.

 

[Spiderbite]

Under Armour you say?

 

[Steve-French]

Just let them go back to sponsors. Nobody is going to buy those overpriced fight kits anyway.

 

[EXOICHO]

Venum is a legitimate MMA brand, 100% of their focus is targeted towards MMA gear which is how it should be. That being said Under Armour makes some quality stuff and I wouldn’t be mad with that, I constantly wear their gear for training and find it comfortable and durable.


Nike would be the WORST choice, they’re too political and I can’t picture fighters wearing basketball shorts to fight. Keep that toxicity away from MMA.

for once I actually agree with you, WTF?

Reebok simply couldn't wait to get out of this deal


They got out faster than Fox did

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Venum would be interesting since they'd presumably have everything riding on it and would need to make shit that would sell to make their money back.

Can't see it being them though, unless they work out a different deal with the UFC where they get more of a percentage of sales.

 

[Mesos]

My moneys on Underarmour. They have the most to gain from UFC. Nike is fine they already have alot of brands associated with them so they are in a take it or leave it position. I see a situation of Nike offering a good deal but not all in like what Underamour would offer.

Also Venum doesnt have a chance in hell lol

 

[Dirge]

what was that cheap ass malt liquor sponsor they used to have?

Now that would be epic on fight gear

 

[Dirge]

Proper 12 apparel?

 

[AllSmyles]

Why not Hayabusa?

I would actually buy UFC shorts made by Hayabusa

 

[Mesos]

Reebok simply couldn't wait to get out of this deal


They got out faster than Fox did

Always felt like a forced marriage. Think UFC wanted Adidas and they turned around and gave them Reebok lol.

Either way that’s probably why UFC wont even bother with Adidas and going straight to Nike/Underamour for a deal

 

[SouthSide971]

100% sure it will be under armour

 

[Chomsky Honk]

these weren’t too bad

 

[Doughie99]

Good riddance Reebok

absolutely. F**k Reebok. They started off un-impressively and then just went downhill from there.
They can Go Giblert Themselves.


Sounds to me like UFC already made a deal, it's gonna be one of those 3, and it's a done deal I think already.

 

[Bones245n4847]

It's obviously Venum, people just throw big names out and the 1 outlier is the actual one. Like kids talking about I'm either going to Harvard, Yale or local community college and they obviously going to CC and saying it's to save money.

 

[Sweater of AV]

 

[Amerikuracana]

They will have some tough shoes to fill.

oof

 

[milliniar]

Venum has that kind of money?
