As reported by TSC, New Zealand outfitter Canterbury is in dire straits in their European division. Teams like AZ Alkmaar went back to Quik and Deportivo signed with Lotto shortly after their jerseys were presented.

This was due to the Kiwi company not following through on their obligations as far as per their contract with various clubs in Europe. Their success with designs was great but that did not translate into numbers and sales.

Canterbury is mostly known in the sports apparel industry as one of the top companies in the world of rugby.
