Pointless Early 2013/14 Kit Speculation Thread

Aap3 continue on thanks to the wonders of 'circumstance.'

 

AAP3 didn't want to/couldn't afford to continue; we line up Lotus, but the deal doesn't close; we try to get a replacement (major drinks brand?) but can't finalise it in time, so keep AAP3 on at a reduced rate?

Saints were definitely looking for new shirt sponsors. They approached a number of companies that I know of. As I understand it aap3 were more than happy to be replaced by a bigger sponsor paying more money.

 

But now it looks like aap3 will be the sponsors for next year and a number of the sponsorship team are no longer working at Southampton FC.

Just to confirm to anyone unsure of the sponsor situation, aap3 signed a 3 year deal in March 2011 which covered 2011-12 (Championship season), 2012-13 (Last season) and 2013-14 (next season). There has been no announcement of any extension so far, but they will definitely be the sponsor next season.

 

I think everyone knows that.

 

The doubts have arisen due to the fact the club sent out literature selling shirt sponsorship recently, and the general rumours that aaaap3 can't afford the deal at PL tariffs. Which would be no surprise as no one knows who or what aaaaap3 is.

Wanna bet?

You name it Colin, I'll match it. Make it for charity, though. I always like to see others give to a good cause.

 

Ok. I'm not quite going to the extent of a mortgage, but £20. I expect you to give that to help for heroes. ;)

So if we have stripes then people say we look like Sunderland and stoke. If we are plain red we look like Liverpool and Swindon...

I really don't get the problem people have with looking like Stoke or Sunderland, and using that as justification for doing something different. We don't look like them; we have a Saints badge, and we'll (probably) have an entirely different sponsor to either of them. So we'll look like Saints.

If we have stripes we look like Saints. That's it.

 

The "isn't it awful we look like like Stoke" routine is peddled almost exclusively by DellBatBrettmandays.
