Neil Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Really like the new top. As people have said it's a bit thin but overall a very tidy strip. One thing I've noticed is the long sleeve tops, the sleeves seem to be very long, prefer the badge this year, alot bolder and more prominent. We'll see how it goes in the wash but the material seems as if it will stand up better than the CCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 To be fair, I think a couple of sheets of Splenda would hold up better than the CCC pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonwellfan Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I got the away top for my birthday. I love it thats all I can say! I don't think I'll take it off until after next weeks game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris-A-Goalda Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Just got mine in the post and its class. Does feel like the canterbury one, but badge is much better quality. its a long sleeve medium and the sleeves r just right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic2904 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Are there any offixial news in regards to the sponsorship? I had an idea for the upcomoning years, something similar to a guy in the US who created a Webpage and asked thousends of customers to be part of his unique webpage. He sold each pixel on the screen for $1... Make up, how much money he got... Maybe we should offer companys around the area a smal section roughly 0.25x0.25 inch with their logo for the whole season for £1000?! Surely we could get 250 companies to do that?!? That surely would be horroble, but unique and probably well worth more than £200k... Stupid?? Maybe... Unique? most probably! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we could get 250 companies to do that?!? I don't think many companies would be willing to shell out any money for 0.25x0.25 inches on a Motherwell strip. The point of sponsorship is so that a company's name/logo is seen by lots of people and with this proposal the only people who would really see each name/logo would be the fans who bought the top and actually spent the time to look carefully at the big mess on the front of the strip. A stupid and frankly thoughtless idea I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muir on tour Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Its only stupid because its Motherwell to be honest. It worked with Koln, but it wouldnt work with a club the size of Motherwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell Football Club Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Its only stupid because its Motherwell to be honest. It worked with Koln, but it wouldnt work with a club the size of Motherwell. Also, that wasn't just raising money, that was for a specific purpose.

TheLip69 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I have to say that I am more than slightly concerned that we are approaching a new season without a shirt sponsor and, despite the rumours, no sign of one. Selling the jerseys without a sponsors name doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that a deal is imminent. Incredibly, we have actually offerd to print the name on feach of the jerseys feree of charge once the sponor is announced. Am I the only one who thinks that announcement was NOT aimed at the supporters who buy the jerseys but at any potential sponsor? Come on, how many really believe there will be a queue for that facility? Simply put, shirt sponsorship is amajor source of income for clubs like Motherwell and I am extremely concerned that with the new league season only a couple of weeks away our players are playing bare chested. Aye the sponsor free jerseys may be the bees knees but the reality is we need a name across our chest, and for this club, or any club for that matter, to go into a European tie minus a sponsor is unbelievable.

Not really, there was very little coverage of this tie, or Hibs or Celtic for that matter because no one cares about these rounds bar the teams that are in them. I agree with your general point though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might not be true either. I asked this question yesterday and it was met with a "Don't know yet". I don't think many will take the club shop up on their offer of putting a sponsor on the shirt. Having to pay for it? Nowt chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell89 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Like Motherwell actually gets that much money from a sponsorship anyway Its like 100k a year.. hardly going to kill the club if we didn't have one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trafficlight Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Got mine delivered first thing on launch day and I'm really pleased with it. For a start, it's great to have a football shirt without a corporate sponsor. I know sponsorship means income etc etc, but it's a nice throwback to a previous era. Puma have produced a high quality shirt - really smooth and silky - and i love the design. I've since ordered the hoody and the training vest. Guys in the club shop - the walloper with the Manchester address is me, so get them in the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 You must have the home top as the away one (although COOL) is a bit like a teabag in quality. As 4 the sponsor I will wager there has been a slight hitch with the contract which will hopefully be ironed out b4 the season starts, although if we were to draw Liverpool they may want it resolved before then 4 obvious reasons. If the rumours are to be believed then I am sure dealing with a charity is not as straightforward as a private company who can just hand over the cheque.

weeyin Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 If, like you claim, it's 100k, that could be 2 new players wages. While it won't put us into administration, it could easily mean the difference between top6 and bottom 6 (or between Europe and no Europe). For a club who tries to break even every season, that is a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Clearly more than you if you think not having a sponsor for pre-season will send us hurling into administration Didn't realise it would cause us to abandon football altogether right enough You mentioned administration. Nobody else. Again, do you realise how important £100,000 is to the club over a year? Right now the club are greatly pushing player sponsorship (more than any other year I can remember) through repeated adverts on the official website, twitter, emails, and, phone calls. Although that is for the massive sum of £275 a shirt so naw the £100,000 won't be useful in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 how much of a gutter is that we're scraping about down the back of the couch for change this summer but not that long ago we pissed 300k up against bob malcolm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
