ONeils40yarder Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 are we getting another home strip again this year? It only feels like a few of months ago that I bought the current one for the weans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EightSixteen Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 are we getting another home strip again this year? It only feels like a few of months ago that I bought the current one for the weans Afraid so, Commsworld was only a 1yr sponsorship but came with a substantial 6 figure sum attached apparently. The deal with Puma is a four year number though (1 yr into it) so I don't think we'll be expecting anything to radical for 2011/2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadywellToi Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 As far as I know, home strip staying the same but changing main sponsor. Away kit is changing from White as the kitman hates it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCC Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Do you think we will get the sponsorship deal with coca-cola who are also entering into their 125th anniversary in May this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballso Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Dunno about the kit man hating it. He was raving about it last year, comparing it to his other favourite team! If we're changing away strip, it'll be more to do with sales in mind for the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its safe to say his position changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its safe to say his position changed. We've had plenty of white away strips recently, I doubt it's taken him until this seasons strips to come to this conclusion. Probably more likely it'll become a 3rd kit to allow a new away strip. That was the usual plan until a couple of seasons ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense. The white kit was the kitman's idea and he still loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

something else Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 You would think the club would have this kit out asap so the fans are getting there moneys worth. After all we're nearly half way through the year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StAndrew7 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Our anniversary isn't until the 17th May, though? The "year" of our anniversary runs through 2011 and 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but it wouldn't do any harm to release some pics of mock ups and get a bit of hype around the kit. I'll be disapointed if its not out for the start of the new season at the latest.

I'll be disapointed if its not out for the start of the new season at the latest. I don't disagree with any of that, either. I thought something else was getting at why the strip hasn't been released, but perhaps I mis-interpreted. There's a quote on here from Alan Provan saying there should be a mock-up of it ready in April. We've got another nine days left before that's not true.

Welldaft Mk1 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Afraid so, Commsworld was only a 1yr sponsorship but came with a substantial 6 figure sum attached apparently. The deal with Puma is a four year number though (1 yr into it) so I don't think we'll be expecting anything to radical for 2011/2012 True - but do we know for sure that Commsworld are not renewing. Let's face it if they don't think they have had their moneys worth from 6 games in Europe, top 6, two national semi finals and a FINAL then no sponsor ever will. The exposure alone from our win on Saturday in terms of media coverage would have cost them a fortune ordinarily. Front page of every sunday sport supplement. Strangley on that front we have proved a bargain for our sponsors this year........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this would be do-able by the club but would it not be a nice tribute for the team to wear a 125th Anniversary Kit in the Cup Final??

Not sure if this would be do-able by the club but would it not be a nice tribute for the team to wear a 125th Anniversary Kit in the Cup Final?? I don't know enough about Commsworld to really comment on wether or not they'd consider continuing the relationship. I suppose their value in our sponsorship depends on what the six figure sum is but I don't think they could deny we've had a successful season and we're potentially going to be high profile for the remainder of the league and the Cup Final. In regards to the 125th anniversary strip... Claret and Amber is paramount to the MFC identity/branding so I really can't see them using it for such a high publicity match tbh. I wouldn't want them lifting that cup in anything else than Claret & Amber! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcalf Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Think Commsworld placed more value on the knock on business it could get directly through being associated with the club, i.e. recommends to businesses involved with Motherwell rather than the exposure on the jersey. That said the exposure they would get this season could change their way of thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EightSixteen Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Possibly mate, I was just speaking on more general terms. Put simply, they'll need to weigh up the positive impact it's had on the business against the cost involved for the sponsorship. Whether or not a 2nd agreed sponsorship deal would yield enough value will be a huge decision for them to make however that might not be on option! I wouldn't be surprised if a sponsorship deal has been agreed with another brand, money in the pipeline and that it's just not going to be announced til the 125th celebrations start. If not they've left it hellova late... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
