Silly question. Given it's unlikely we'll have a betting company on the kids tops, could they be released earlier or are the back of the shirts sponsors being printed at the same time?

For all we know there may be a JAXX style agreement where the BetPark logo is replaced by a kid friendly sponsor on the junior kit. This will also need to be printed before release.

something else Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Why not just show off the kits without the sponsor ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 If the sponsor is paying for an advert and then we publish the billboard without the advert on it, i'd imagine they'd be fairly pissed off and claim a chunk of their money back. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is suggesting we advertise the kit without a sponsor but surely we can show one pic of the kit without a sponsor to the fans. All seems like a big drama over nothing.

The promo images which are shot will also be used on the club shop to sell the replica kit. They will require the sponsors logo to be on them so it’s better to have it complete with the logo than not. Also the sponsor is paying good money for the space and they will want their brand showcased wherever possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All seems like a big drama over nothing. Anytime it's seen in public, it's an advert. That's effectively what shirt sponsorship is, and what the sponsor is paying for. It's also why we'd have to accept a vastly reduced amount if we wanted to sell a version with no sponsor, and then hope we made up the shortfall in extra sales. No way we'd take that risk.

ONeils4oyarder Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Each to their own, but I'm baffled to fuck at the excitement and frustration that a new kit release seems to bring out in folk... ...me? I honestly couldn't give a fuck what they look like 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kit design fan I always look forward to ours and other kit releases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 See if everyone in the world was the exact same and had the same likes/dislikes and turn ons it would be a right boring as fuck place. I quite like to see a new strip but don’t get overly excited about it. However when I was a kid/teenager (long time ago) I would have been all over Twitter and this site waiting on the release. Not everyone is a middle aged Burberry wearing dude. Too many folk on this these days just looking for a reason to moan like fuck at and about other folk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those posts. My favourites are usually on a match day when someone announces they are fed up with the team and cannae be arsed going to the game. Even though I would class myself as the older generation I still buy one strip per season. Of course it helps if you have a six pack :-) So I look forward to the annual unveiling of the strip even if it is later in the day than anticipated......ahem....

Onthefringes Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 The kit release is straightforward? It’s the porridge dribblers on here and social media that have most of us impervious to any perceived charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirParkCornerExile Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Don't know why everyone is getting so animated. I'd be amazed if its much different from every other strip we've had of late. We are getting nearly as boring as Celtic with "traditional" tops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont i think they are taking the piss they release virtually the same top every year and expect fans to pay £45 a pop and the only thing that changes is the collar 9 times outta ten. If they are going to do that they should just stick to the same strip and stop taking the piss out the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
