    Yet you had no idea the majority of the big european brands produce in Europe now and simply import fabric from China or Pakistan. You're digging yourself in deeper here. Would you like me to list the factories for you and post pictures of them?

    Go ahead.

    Ajara Textile In Georgia are the only significant football shirt manufacturer I'm aware of in Europe and they're fairly new.

    Adidas, Umbro, Nike and Puma don't make any secret of where theirs are made and (other than a small amount in Georgia, they're all made in the Far East). Kappa are more cagey and I've no idea where they make theirs, but I'd put money on it not being France.

    But I'll look forward to your list. <ok>

    How much money? £1000 for the Turkey Earthquake fund that Kappa, Errea, Joma, Oneills and Hummel dont produce football kits in Europe?

    The only one of those I’ve heard of is Kappa and I didn’t even know they made football kits.

    What kind of level of kits are we talking here?

    You've not heard of Hummel?
    We are talking Everton level of kits, so top end Championship level.

    For what it's worth, Georgia isn't in Europe although for some reason it's often mistaken as being.

    Edit: might have to take that back actually. Just went to Google to confirm what I thought I was pretty certain of but it seems to be far less definitive than I thought. Ignore me...

    Don't admit you're wrong mate.

    Dig your heels in and double down.

    I'm certainly happy to accept that at least Joma and O'Neil's make some kits in Europe, but they're hardly 'the big European brands'.

    Adidas and Puma are in a completely different league to the rest, at least as far as European brands are concerned.

    Whenever I think of Kappa, I just remember when I was a kid & other kids wore kappa tracksuits & get called Kappa slappers. I seem to recall it was the start of a few fights.

    In international terms, there's only Adidas and Puma in Europe that make the top ten sports brands (Reebok's on there, but it's not European any more).
