Love to know the thinking behind this in a high-level meeting. ”Spreading the kit release over two weeks will really heighten the excitement for it!” ”John, don’t you think people will get bored of seeing the back of the collar or repeated pictures of the badge after a few days?” ”Of course not, don’t be ridiculous. You can even run a poll to prove it if you like.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we ought to extend the teasing to signings..first a left boot, then a right ear lobe etc. A bit like the mystery guest on A Question of Sport. Always remember one episode, it was a chap mowing some grass in hotel grounds. Real toughie, even Dad couldn't work it out. Straight back to Bill Beaumont's team and one of the guests got it within a millisecond. Stunned amazement in the audience and from Coleman, thinking it was one that no one could get. The guest, I forget who it is, then gets them to replay the video....he was staying in the same hotel and was watching it being filmed from a window As for kits, love that Brentford effort. Always loved the Coventry 70s brown kit, bet they shift a few of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Don’t know how to share tweets, but Jon is now opening taking the p*ss out of fans who are making good points. I like the fact he’s open but he’s coming across as a very unprofessional ******** right now. It’s his toy and he can laugh about it, doesn’t matter how the fans feel. Not the club I love, and certainly not a club I admire anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 It’s funny how the people that get the most offended on Twitter are those who come across as absolute knuckle draggers in their own profile. Happy to dish out the ‘bantz’ but not very good at taking it back! More importantly, if you’re a fully grown adult who is badgering people every day about what a football kit looks like or when you’ll be able to buy it, then take a step away from the computer/phone for the sake of your own wellbeing and get some fresh air! The amount of grown adults getting their piss boiled about this is a pretty sad state of affairs. It’s a football kit FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron W Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 It’s an interesting new strand of marketing that the only reason anyone is enjoying the kit launch is because it pisses people off, I can’t say I’ve ever heard of it before. The new Brand Manager has some living up to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Feels like this crosses a bit of a line for me. Not sure the tone is very helpful. Perhaps if JL had built Bristol City from the ground up he might have earned the right to tweet like this; when he’s basically the fortunate benefactor of his Daddy’s billions, I can’t help but feel he might do well to wind his neck in a bit. I realise some will just find it funny, which is fair enough, but the fact that it divides opinion (as the replies on twitter show) is enough to make me question it.

No. But I can see why some might be, and given all the negative PR around the club recently - the post-Christmas capitulation, the season ticket fiasco, Adam Baker - I’m not sure this is wise. The problem is JL is tweeting like he’s Scott Murray. But he doesn’t have that popularity or rapport with the fans. He doesn’t have the credit in the bank with the fans. He is in that position solely because his Dad is the billionaire owner. I personally think he would do well to tone it down and take a more professional approach.

Personally couldn’t give a fig for the kit (or badge really if I’m honest) and grown men losing their stuff about it is pretty funny, whilst also giving us something to discuss over the Summer. However JL in my opinion is just not doing himself any favours. It’s all coming across as a bit condescending from him from what I’ve seen (as our others on the media team at BS) and just unnecessary for a major player at our football club. Say what you like about the other ‘suits’ such as MA and SL, but they wouldn’t engage in this petty crap as it’s just not professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t care less about the kit release (though having experience in brand management it probably isn’t recommended to drag it out this long), I just think he’s misjudged the atmosphere among the fans and there’s no need for his attitude that makes it appear he thinks he above everyone else.

Exactly. At the end of the day, it doesn't read well when the billionaire owner's son is openly winding up the club's owner supporters - whether he means it as 'banter' or not.

Lrrr Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Fans are the ones responsible for the whole thing really, constant comments/tweets of '#announceadomah' or whichever player probably gave them the idea for #announcethekit, just the fans who do it in the first place can't take it when the club has some fun with it. The recent post about the loyalty scheme its just comments of announce the kit already etc. If its true about it being Thursday they've given hints each day for a week before it, so what, its not a big deal. Cardiff have given a teaser picture of their kit saying its not being released for another 11 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind a teaser but 64% of people said they don’t want one today, and they still did it anyway. You’ll see the post I was referring to above, it’s all being done for JL’s ego and for him to take the piss out of a fan for saying how it is, is incredibly unprofessional. There’s having a laugh, but it should be at your own expense and never a paying fans. Tin pot and pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
