simo Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 If as people are saying our sponsorship deal with aap3 runs out after this season , do I presume right we'll be getting another new kit (our 4th in 4 years) ? If so the club are seriously taking us for a ride ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 (edited) Reckon we need to try to get out of the addidas contract too. Give manufacturing our own another go, or go to a smaller less well-known manufacturer. addidas couldnt give a sh*t about us, I reckon.

NickG Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 Think this season's kit is alright, and should be decent quality with good manufacturer. Didnt a rule come in about number of new kits / longevity? Don't overly care about design (although prefer centeenery or 80's kits to normal stripes) but would like a kit, any kit! To last few years - partly for identity but mainly fairness to fans who can't afford annual £40 per child. I only buy for cup finals so not had many!

Saint Garrett Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 (edited) Everyone has a new kit every year. Yes it is a joke but can't ever see the club moving away from that. I hope for proper stripes and yellow/blue away kit. Bring back the traditional kits and they will sell sh!t loads. Personally think the kit was as good as it ever was in 2011/12 promotion season. Superb red and ****e striped hit, and a great yellow kit. Not hard to please. Edited 28 June, 2013 by Saint Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 We had done well to hold out from yearly kit changes for so long. It's a shame we have followed suit, but inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not a manufacturer, they are a sports brand, they buy from many different factories in Asia ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they would out-source the actual production of the clothing, but it is their name on the shirt so the buck stops with them. Afterall, they are the ones creaming the fat royalties.

mikeyc Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 The problem is not with adidas. There are plenty of nice adidas kits worn by other clubs, including some with stripes! No, the problem is with whoever it is at the club that chose or approved this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 Even if the sponsor was the same, both kits would be changing, adidas have been doing that for a good few years now. Also, dunno if you noticed, but all of the Umbro kits changed every season as well for the past 5 years, (apart from the one we were in admin and couldn't buy any new stock).

jjsaint Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 With all the changes to our kit I amiine by 206/7 our home shirt will no longer be a shirt, but rather something random like an ice sculpture or a herd of wildebeest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshiresaint Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 Adidas think that much of us that they gave Us a replica of Bristols kit. Surely we could go else where and get a better kit. One which will go with our future plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 ...with the announcement of our Umbro deal in 2008 ! Yes, should have been past tense there. Odd how due to administration we continued to use that same kit for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 Can we have some early mock ups on what we think it will look like please. My sources tell me it will be based on this template, just with more stars as the chinese like stars. Every player will have a number 7 on their back.

Yes, they are the supplier (not the manufacturer) so any technical complaints are down to them but, as MikeyC said above, someone at SFC has given the approval, therefore the design, colour etc. has been a club decision !!
