Talking of your clubs statements remember the Brexit one they trotted out I'm not really worried about shirts tbh, I'm never likely to buy one, it does sound ridiculous doesn't it, but do you know - or are you just guessing. No, I can't remember any Brexit statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more to do with finding any manufacturers who are willing to have their name associated Miah Edited July 8, 2019 by BobBobSuperBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he looked like he needed a few quid, so we were glad to be able to help out There are currently just the 3 tents at Rovers although only 2 were up for sponsorship (maybe the 3rd is for the mystery missing shirt sponsor) .

Whichever club that is..! Big respect for that! Do you get sponsorship guaranteed for the whole season, or do they have to review in on a month by month basis, to check that the “stand” hasn’t blown away..? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I remember thinking it didn't sound right, but I really don't know. Is it harder to make a quartered shirt? Maybe there's a local company that could help you out? Bespoke designs (that for you would still look like a Tesco bag no matter how well done) and in the shop on time with great stock control from a local supplier. Can't remember their name, i think they already make shirts for a club about Rovers size Bath City. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t you get more press exposure if the thing came crashing down..? Think about it... if you tamper with the guide ropes and a moderate breeze caused the “stand” to come crashing down, News cameras would project your companies name nationwide. At worst.. you get mobile advertising down Gloucester Road/Muller Road (depending on the direction of aforementioned moderate breeze) How did you get to a position of being able to afford “stadium” sponsorship, when you miss such subtle marketing techniques..?

As they're not sewn anymore, I would imagine a 'stripe' would be equally difficult as quarters Miah. They're pretty much printed nowadays I think so it would be more difficult than a plain red shirt (for example) but certainly not as tricky as is being made out. They would have been more tricky to manufacture back in the day I guess but they're a single piece of fabric nowadays and just follow a pre-programmed pattern don't they?

richwwtk Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 You see amateur teams playing hockey/rugby etc around various parks wearing blue and white quarters quite often, so I can't imagine it's a template that takes any longer than other kits to produce.

Ronnie Sinclair Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 how long does it take to procure a shirt that is somewhat reminiscent of a jester / mouldy battenburg pattern? They could always revert to the whiteboard coloured in quarters idea, get plain white t-shirts and colour in the quarters themselves with blue felt tip (colour by {massive} numbers perhaps?) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have thought so...although like you I don’t work in the business of manufacturing football shirts. Blackburn have a unique pattern therefore if it is true then they should experience the same problems. In fact any club who doesn’t wear a generic one colour shirt (ie hoops, stripes or a band around the chest like us last year) should have the same issues? Wycombe’s quarters were out this time last year but not our so far this summer. Plymouth’s quartered away shirt was out in June last year, and if you think quarters are a challenging design you should see their away kit this year, also released in June.
