Been a few decades since I purchased the "new kit" when it was released.........but a nice kit with a hoop and no sponsor on it might tempt me ........other than the centenary kit which unfortunately didn't come in buster Blooodvessel size !!!

Hmm, maybe I’ve got the wrong end of the stick. Time will tell I suppose. Provan must be tearing his hair out, would have shifted a fair amount in the lead up that maybe won’t buy after the final.

Agree totally - no better time to sell strips than on the goodwill feeling of a cup final appearance - strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their corporate colours are blue, so unless they allow us to reverse their branding out in white we could be stuck with an ugly ‘patched’ logo. I seem to remember Zoom Airlines having an issue with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we leave you to handle the phonecall to the shirt sponsor to let them know that a portion of the advertising space they have just bought will now be left blank? But thanks for all that money though... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefringes Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I'll wager Liberty Steel won't be a prominent feature on our new shirts Personally, I'd have fallen over myself to attract RBS just for the seethe produced by them on the other side of the M74.

In my opinion the last decent looking logo we have had was Ian Skelly or Motorola. I detest betting/loan/pawn shop type sponsors as they cheapen the look of the shirt. However, if they offer us a shed load of money I will welcome them with open arms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgey Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hey UBH, can you do a mock-up on the current Middlesbrough kit? It would be spanking in C&A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I’ve mocked this up before, however, here’s a very, very quick mock up of the current Middlesbrough home and away in C&A. Very 1960’s.

Gadgey Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I just love the thick band (that could so easily be a hoop) and simple round neck. Old school but still cracking!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old school but still cracking!!! I do prefer our tops to have a slightly wider hoop/band as it integrates it more into the design rather than it just being an advertising space. For what it’s worth, similar to Celtic I would insist on a proper hoop every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 So I assume that any new kit launch has been postponed until after the final. I can understand if there is a new deal waiting in the wings as it would effect our current shirt sponsor who appear to have had a good relationship with the fans and the club. Just a shame that there will be no with no embroidered tops for sale just like 1991. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Sponsors logos are a bugbear of mine and I see Juventus fans have started a petition to get the club and Jeep to change the way their logo looks on the front on the shirt. Will fan power prevail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Once the technology catches up, I imagine TV companies will be able to superimpose sponsor logos onto shirts on the video (a bit like they can do with advertising at pitch side). That way, the sponsors could still get their product on the telly, and clubs could sell shirts without the logo. That technology isn't too far away.

Al B Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Not too sure about that to be fair. Aside from TV stuff, in the case of Man United or Real Madrid etc, you'd be asking the sponsor to accept losing hundreds of thousands (maybe millions?) of walking adverts all over the globe, and the only way they would consider doing that is if the club is willing to accept a massive drop in money.
