Warrior

Warrior is one of the shortest and loudest adventures in the history of football kit makers. Born in Detroit in 1992 at the hands of David Morrow, a former lacrosse player, it made its fortune in that sport and in hockey before being bought by New Balance in 2004. In 2012 it decided to invade football through the front door, snatching Liverpool's contract from adidas for then record money, and added Porto, Sevilla, Stoke and, in Ireland, Shamrock Rovers. The invasion lasted three years: in 2015 the parent company decided football would be played under the New Balance name itself, and Warrior returned to bats and sticks. The kits remain, collector's pieces today from a brand that crossed football like a comet: it arrived shouting, left in silence and left a trail.
