Portsmouth must’ve had a sigh of relief when their 2009/2010 kits from Canterbury arrived even after what Canterbury had gone through (Canterbury Goes Into Administration & JD Sports Takes Over Canterbury). Pompey will wear a blue shirt, white shorts with hints of blue and strangely red socks with hints of white.

Motherwell and Canterbury revealed the home kit a while back and it created a buzz with the fans and produced record sales. More recently, after Canterbury was facing some problems, the club revealed the away 2009/2010 kits as well.

As we already told you that Canterbury Europe has gone into administration, the latest about them is that JD Sports has taken over Canterbury for £6.5 million. The deal includes global rights to the brand.

JD Sports is not known for their apparel in football. They will need to consider their role in football to either to get bigger in football or otherwise. Canterbury used to make kits for Portsmouth, JD Sports will need to decide whether to continue that or not. Previously, JD Sports also bought a 48 percent stake in Rochdale based KooGa Rugby Ltd., which was owned by JJB Sports.

Soccerlens woke up to the news of the Europe branch of the New Zealand based shirt manufacturer, Canterbury, collapsed after declaring bankruptcy and consequently all of their contracts were canceled. This happened when clubs from all over Europe were in a process of designing, finalizing and unveiling their 2009/2010 kits. But the collapse left a lot of football and non-football clubs/teams without a kit supplier.

With a subpar performance on the home kit, and a decent performance with the away kit, I was anxious to see what Canterbury and Portsmouth could design for the third kit. Personally I think the third kit was the best, by far. The simple all black kit with gold accent around the collar and sides makes for a great kit. Even the circles on the sleeves match the gold on the badge, which adds another nice touch.

This is the best kit that the rugby kit manufacturer has put out to date. I fully expect many great kits in the future, but for this season they are 1 for 3. All in all I think that Canterbury of New Zealand will have a long and prosperous life in the football arena and luckily for Portsmouth, they will reap the benefits.

With the 2007-08 away kit, I think Canterbury and Portsmouth management had a better idea. Going with a white away kit is always a good idea, however this particular kit is the better of the two. This kit provides a white base to start with then adds several blue and gold accent pieces throughout the kit itself. The blue and gold are obviously taken from the traditional badge of Portsmouth and add a great touch to this kit. Do not forget the badge on the left chest and the sponsor logo in the center, which is where it should always be.

The only issues I have with this kit is that it borderlines being too busy and the circles are back again. This time the circles were grey and not as much of an eye sore as the home kits are. I think if there were another color mixed into the kit it would have been too much, but aside from that I think it was a great looking kit.

Canterbury of New Zealand has long been known for their great kits for Rugby, however they do make some great kits for football as well. Being the kit sponsor for an English Premier League team is no easy task, you must come ready to bring the best kits out on one of the best leagues in the world. Canterbury has done just that with the 2007-08 home kit for Portsmouth. Taking the same blue that is in the Portsmouth Badge and making it the primary color for this kit, adding gold accent pieces that match the trim in the badge, providing the sponsor logo in the traditional center role and the Canterbury logo on the right chest makes this a kit worth looking at.

The only part of this particular kit that I do not like is the random light blue circles on the sleeves. They do not seem to have a purpose, they are not in the color scheme of the badge at all and are no where else to be found. Maybe it is just a design of the kit, but they could have been left off. Not a bad kit aside from that.
