RedM Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Just now, redpole said: So kids won't be able to get there free shirt for holiday!! Depends when you go on holiday I suppose. Mid July is before most schools break up isn't it so technically the shirts might be available for the summer holiday as such. I don't know what the arrangements were last year, did you have to collect them from the shop once you got your ST, if so you might have to wait until those are sent out? I thought there would be a delay with the launch, as I said the players aren't about until the first week of July for photoshoots etc, and probably the media department are holidaying too as they work most weekends during the season and don't take a break. It will be a quiet time now until the transfer frenzy starts. Now news here, move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am wondering (I wasn't told this, am just speculating) if something is changing with the sponsor, despite previous comments from the club. My guess is they will be milking the 'pre-order' on the purple shirt every way possible, before releasing a shirt that might canabalise those sales.

Actually almost every Nike kit last year used the same template and it's looking they've using a modified version of it for all kits this season. Umbro also use the same templates but modify them slightly and Adidas has 2-3 templates which they would mix and match between, it's one of the main reasons I love Bristol Sport being the kit supplier, they may not cater for the very large blokes like me but they do make unique kits that I like.

Good point, I'm now thinking the club may have done this wrong. If it was down to me I would have released the home kit first, people would probably have purchased it just because it was the home kit and would have something to wear on their holidays ( which seems an important factor to many). Two weeks before the start of the season I would have launched the purple kit, it seems wildly popular and then people would most likely want that too. Now it seems people are ordering the away kit and will wait and see if the home kit is very similar to last season, and if so won't be in such a great hurry to buy?

But how often do you see the same template in the same league being the same colour scheme? I know Nike had the same templates but for the majority of what I saw it was mainly international teams who had it, Man City and a couple of foreign sides.

That'll be down to the teams, most suppliers ask them what colour combination they would like and give them examples. Only reason you don't see it a lot it because clubs tend to have the same schemes each season with the exception of away kits. Also top tier teams get special preference in their choices.

Olé Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 On the subject of shirt sponsors, if we need an alternative gimmick to the hashtags this year, Schalke's new sponsor is putting contactless payment chips in the sleeves of their shirts (can be used in the Veltins, which is already 100% cashless - in case you ever waste time queuing up without knowing ). http://www.sportbusiness.com/sport-news/schalke-signs-innovative-sleeve-sponsor-deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
