I'd be shocked if we had a unique template, not sure anyone does with Nike? Even Man City or Barcelona don't have unique templates.

But up to date replica kits aren't cool, full stop.

I like the training gear stuff, kits don't interest me. Obviously it will all be Nike training gear from next season.

But if you want Spurs training gear you'll buy the Nike ones. The amount of money they will lose out of people who really liked the UA stuff to work out in, and may go and buy generic UA stuff is negligible compared to the amount we will take from Nike for the deal.

I know commercially it won't really matter in the grand scheme of things, I'm just saying what I'd prefer - which matters fuck all, just my opinion. I'd still keep buying UA anyway.

It is. And changing kit supplier relatively regularly maximises revenue streams.
The trend recently has been actually to sign very long term kit deals for mega money, such as Utd's 10 year deal with Addidas and Arsenal's with Puma. I imagine we will sign a similarly long deal, especially as a lot of other teams are now tied in for many years.

Would of loved UA to be a real long term deal.

Probably not.
On Nike, not exactly a company I respect, but lets not kid ourselves, reputations aside all the big sportswear companies have ethically dubious practices.
UA had a good go of it, most the kits were decent, some pretty nice, though this years is really terrible.
Nike tend to make pretty simple designs and ehough they are templates they are often well thought out. Not against at all. Mind for me the simpler or "boringest" kit the better.

Tottenham seal deal to switch kit from Under Armour to Nike - sources
Tottenham have finalised a deal with Nike to become their new kit supplier from next season, sources have told ESPN FC.
The club's five-year deal with Under Armour, worth £50 million total, ends at the end of this season and the sources said the deal with Nike is worth roughly three times that.
Spurs will join rivals Chelsea in wearing Nike shirts from the start of the 2017-18 season but the deal is still someway short of the Blues' record-breaking 15-year contract with the U.S. sportswear giant, worth £60m annually.
The deal will bring Spurs in line with rivals Arsenal, who earn £30m a year from Puma, but they are also behind Manchester United, who have a deal with Adidas said to be worth £75m per year. Manchester City reportedly earn around £12m annually from Nike although that deal is up for renewal in 2019.
Tottenham's partnership with Nike will increase speculation that the company could have a say in a naming-rights deal for the club's new stadium, scheduled to be ready for the start of the 2018-19 season.

These are fine, but I'm not at all happy about the idea of institutionalising the navy shoulders. A bit of chopping & changing & dicking around with the design from year to year is fine, but our shirts are white, not white and navy. Our shorts are navy, with a Euro exception. No other combination of colours on an on-going basis is ok.

As long as we don't end up with red socks, like England had, I'll be content.

It's a toughie for me. Unique kits are all well and good, but unique has a habit of meaning unusual which tends to be divisive.
UA have been good overall and I like having a big and growing brand, however. Nike and Adidas have flagship stores in the major cities and shopping centres. You can't avoid Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid kits, but ours have always been difficult to find. For the casual observer, the bigger teams are associated with greater visibility. If every time you walk into a Nike store there's a Spurs kit stood next to the other big Nike clubs on the way in, we'll just enter people's sub conscious as a bigger team, which is especially important in the foreign markets etc. That kind of visibility has such huge long term value for building our presence and ultimately our support. For that reason I think Nike is a good thing.
