All contracts with clubs had now been cancelled, KPMG said.

Canterbury supply kit to a number of big sporting teams here in the UK, Including:
Portsmouth FC
Cardiff Blues RFC
London Wasps RFC
Leinster RFC
Yorkshire County Cricket Club
Hampshire County Cricket Club
I have quite a bit of their leisure wear (I’m actually wearing a Canterbury top right now), and I do see them as one of the better leisure wear/kit suppliers in the market.
It’s a shame to see them go into administration like this, but this is becoming all too common in the business world these days.
