if kirkland is an investor in Sells he prabably doesn't get 'paid' for wearing them apart from share dividends etc, so if he signs a glove contract say with Umbro (who must be looking for someone after losing James) he will then get the best of both worlds - paid for wearing umbro and getting money from sells as an investor... ?
Its a bit of a slap in the face to Sells. If people know he has an interest in Sells but wears Umbro then some may think that Umbro is the better glove and reduce sales for Sells

I don't think many people would think that with all the other class keepers wearing them.
Goalkeeping is not just a position on the field, it is a way of life, it is an attitude on and off the field.
the cynic in me is thinking hes probably trying to juice a bit more cash out of his sponsors
Or he is just trying different gloves out in matches before he signs a contract??
I thought I would revive this rather then start a new topic, after watching Wigan today I noticed that Chris Kirkland is now wearing the Sells super4 d3o Contour (not sure what cut roll finger i imagine). game wasnt that interesting to be fair...
Dida still needs a team! lol
Why be negative when you can be Positive? Beats me!
Keepers are criticised and praised, its the keepers choice to decide what to listen to.
This is an odd one isn't it? He is on the list of GK's we are scheduled to meet on our trip to the UK, so I will be quizzing him about this one! He is a Sells shareholder though, so perhaps his Adidas contract has finally expired?
Possibly but he is still wearing World Cups, or would that be a seperate contract?
MactheCatNo1: robbrown: It was a umbro smu, roll finger, strange he was still wearing adidas boots. Maybe not that strange, I rememer David Seaman never wearing umbro boots when sponsored by umbro. I remember him wearing, nike, adidas and puma boots during his glove sponsorship with umbro.

Mark Schwarzer wears Lotto boots but he is sponsored by Uhlsport. Cudicini wears Adidas boots (I think) and wears Uhlsport gloves
We take joy by taking the joy from players and spectators.....
I don't know if anyone noticed but Kirkland seemed to be wearing the Sells Super 4 Contour yesterday against Birmingham. I really don't get why he is chopping and changing his gloves so often, surely he'd do the testing in training?

the latest pics on gettyimages have him wearing fingertips and a sells visor...interesting.
Also if you look at the last couple of games he is wearing fingertips with two fingers on his left hand fused together.
