Allegedly While not a fan, surely the badge needs to be to the side and manufacturer ditto other side, u can’t see them very well otherwise , also it will balance it out, is the LONE stripe just on the front or back aswell? If it is on the back then will it be black number or is that classed as stripes… in which case a white back? That will look terrible. Are socks white with a red band , that will be the only thing that u cd do to try and make it kind of saint like. Oh it’s awful if you ask me.

They know that will be the case at every club and that it will soon be a market they don't even have for adult shirts. If Saints gave the option for no sponsor it is hard to see nany if any replica shirts being sold at all. Of course the main benefit to a sponsor is having their logo on player shirts during games on TV across the world, but the replica shirt market opens it up for many thousands of mini billboards for them for brand exposure.

If Saints gave the option for no sponsor it is hard to see many if any replica shirts being sold at all. So, basically half the Prem team shirt sponsors (are betting companies) and they don't appear on the majority of shirts sold (assuming more kids shirts are sold than adults), and those sponsors are fine with that, because the real value is reaching millions of eyes via TV and other media. So your point about it being a hard task for the commercial department is therefore incorrect. They have already done it. I don't follow your point above about no shirts being sold unless a sponsors logo is on it, or is your reply poorly worded and you meant none would be sold with a sponsors logo if there was an option not to have it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people pay extra for Prem badges and names etc to be added. Wonder if some would pay extra for sponsors logo added - so as to make the shirt more like the one worn by players?

Or, would there be a market for paying more to NOT have the sponsors logo. I don’t think it is, it’s last seasons shirt so probably all they’ve got left in stock. There’s leaked pics of Celtics 22/23 shirt online with no sponsor. I may be wrong and my memory failing me, but I thought either the Ireland football or rugby shirts always used to have a logo on them, but it was possible to pay more for a sponsor free version. Like I say, not sure of that but just what I thought I remember. Personally there’s no way I’d pay more to have a sponsor on a shirt, they pretty much always make the shirt design worse.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 7 June, 2022 Share Posted 7 June, 2022 Nice to see the club dragging out the kit launch until they've finished editing some pointless two minute video for its release; rather than actually releasing it early and trying to capitalise on some sales. It's also a World Cup year, will a lot of fans be buying internationals shirts this year? In all truth probably not. But then again I haven't bought a football shirt for maybe twenty years. Waste of money. Then again maybe I'm just old. 🙂 I've never understood why clubs take ages to drag out kit launches. Just do it once the season ends. Presumably kit manufacturers have been on this for the past year? Just seems the Southampton Way to delay it until July and then not actually make them available to buy until mid-October once all the faults have been ironed out 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
