Kylie Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 OK, got a reply. Nothing new , but an interesting wee bit... Hi Kylie Your request has been passed to me to offer some insight as to how we at Canterbury look at developing a new design of football stripes for our sponsored teams. Motherwell FC is our most recent acquisition and we are currently working on a new deign for this coming season 09-10. One of the main reasons that Canterbury were chosen to become the official kit supplier to the club was our development of technical fabrics which traditionally were used in the advancement of products used in Rugby where the stresses and strains of this sport were tested to the full. All our fabrics are tested at the highest level to ensure that when we put our brand name on a product the customer can be confident in the knowledge that they are buying a top quality performance garment. Our most famous football club is Portsmouth FC who play in the Premier League. The introduction of “Base Layer” fabric being used as a playing shirt enabled us to take the lead in offering the most technically advanced product in the Premier League. The fact that they won the FA cup last year saw our product displayed all over the world. Motherwell FC will also wear our Base Layer fabric for the first time in July. unfortunately we are unable to show you these designs as they have not yet been launched, but watch out for kits to light up the Scottish Premier League soon. In terms of the actual design of the home shirt we worked very closely with the club so that we understood their requirements and desires. We have incorporated a key design feature into the shirt which the fans will love. I hope that this has given you a quick insight as our development process. We are already working on new designs for next year 10-11. We will keep you posted. Thank you for your interest. Regards XXXXXX XXXXXXXX Head of Football.

Nijholt91 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The band? They haven't 'incorporated' that into any other kits they've done. Check Kylie the bunny boiler emailing canterbury lying his arse off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 That key design feature will surely be either: A. A claret hoop or B. Uncle Phil's autograph EDIT: already working on new designs for 10-11 season? So that means the new kit will only last a year again... sigh!

numpty Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 That key design feature will surely be either: A. A claret hoop or B. Uncle Phil's autograph I'm fairly confident it'll be A I do hope it's not B, by next season I'd like to think the club will have moved on enough to not feel the need for that.

Lobey_Dosser Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Reading that, I think we could have the Hoop back. I thought my days of buying new 'Well tops were coming to an end but I am pretty excited to see if these strips live up to the hype! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niall Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 EDIT: already working on new designs for 10-11 season? So that means the new kit will only last a year again... sigh! is the Jaxx deal up at the end of the season? Also, that could be a general, we are coming up with our generic designs for the following season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 It will definitely be another one-season strip as the Jaxx deal is up, quite conveniently. The fans charter has been disregarded once again. Frazzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nijholt91 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 This is brought up all the time. Read it FFS. Both home and away replica strips designs will normally have a life span of two seasons, unless changes are enforced due to contractual obligations. It will be appreciated that changes in sponsor or manufacturer makes it impossible to guarantee a two year minimum period. These changes once a year are due to contractual obligations, so why do you moan?? Anyway I'm sure the club will be working on a 1 year extension with JAXX or Canterbury. You also use the word "conveniently", what exactly are you implying?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many things that can and should be levelled at the club. insinuating that they deliberately meddle with timing of deals with shirt sponsors and kit suppliers to fleece the fans is one I'm not quite with you on Frazzle me old son!

Gaag Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 i hope that when it comes to renegotiating for sponsorship then they coincide it with the supposed on time releases of the shirts. Although, perhaps the club are happy to keep it like this as it's a little extra revenue for them? I wouldn't begrudge them that. We'll struggle to get a sponsor if JAXX don't renew this time IMO, we could end up sponsorless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 In any particular year - Buy the shirt / don't buy the shirt. I've followed 'well for 35 years - sometimes you get the shirt sometimes you don't. I reckon there are more important things in life believe it or not - it's not a gun to the head thing. If all this 'deliberate' messing about with timing impacts shirt sales overall - it will be 'well, provan and CCC that suffer not you or I. Conspiracy, Schponspiracy!

weeyin Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Buy one good retro shirt. Then you never need to worry about being in fashion with the latest offerings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkySuperSub Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I can see some peoples point of view about potentially having a new shirt every season, particularly those people who are maybe buying for a couple of kids as well, paying £30 - £40 a pop. But for others, I wonder how many of them would happily go out every other weekend and easily blow that amount to piss it up against a wall, but begrudge paying for a top that will last a minimum of 12 months.

Frazzie Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Where did I say anything about deliberate? All I said was that it's convenient, which can't be denied. I don't grudge the club any extra money - quite the opposite in fact, and I almost always buy both home and away shirts - and I probably will again this time round. What I'll also say is that, while the fans charter has been largely ignored over the last few years, I feel that the current regime, and Leann Dempster in particular, have been excellent in their communication and consultation with the fans so far. Rome wasn't built in a day, but I'm very happy with the way things seem to be going off the park at the moment. So - does that post make me sound like less of a conspiracy theorist?
