Dredd Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Hummel make some pretty bespoke kits so maybe we’ve been allowed some design influence. Happy with this to be fair. Check out St Pauli’s rainbow kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Unsurprising given how amateur the supply chain has been for Bristol Sport manufactured items the past 2 years. Right idea (economies of scale, ownership of supply chain), wrong execution (slow, risk averse, poorly managed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the quality of the gear was utter gash, I'd imagine. This season has seen me return both a shirt and a coat (twice) for Matthew because of the stitching. I've loved having more control over the designs and the look of the kits the last few years have been outstanding, but the quality doesn't match the design.

The Robins will continue pioneering kit design and style in collaboration with the innovative Danish sportswear company. City Chairman Jon Lansdown said: “I am really proud of what we as a club and Bristol Sport have produced over the last six years. We’ve continually progressed including winning EFL kit of the year in 2017/18. “We have reached a size where we want a partner who share our values and can help to take us to the next level and in hummel we have found the perfect match. “The partnership allows us to make a more technically advanced kit while still retaining a uniqueness that is symbolic of us and our supporters. “Our sales of shirts are greater than they have ever been. Hummel’s experience and global supply network will help us to cater for demand and develop our designs while keeping our individuality.” Founded in 1923, Danish sportswear brand hummel are one of the oldest teamsport brands in the world with an incredible footballing heritage. Mark Underwood, Managing Director of Elite Group UK, hummel’s exclusive brand partner, said: “At hummel UK we are delighted to partner with Bristol City. The club has so much history, we are going to have a lot of fun bringing the heartbeat of the Football Club and the city into our kits and training ranges.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I’m hearing lots of other clubs have had kit delivery issues with them, Sheff Weds is a big name but also Forest Green who cancelled their contract with them. Are we just moving from one problem supplier to another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when TFG made Lotto's kits in the UK under license then simply stuck their own brand on themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 On a related note, I wonder if this will still mean a free shirt for U12s? Possibly slightly greater cost up front of stock for the club and it’s whether the benefit will financially stack up* *Even if it doesn’t, they should keep it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastside Moonwalker Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 So are they moving to Hummel or are hummel teaming up with Bristol Sport? It doesn't seem like a straight up swap of sponsors, more like they've bought into Bristol Sport or something given that video that was posted More info here: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/city-partner-with-hummel-to-take-robins-kit-to-next-level/ City Chairman Jon Lansdown said: “I am really proud of what we as a club and Bristol Sport have produced over the last six years.

Red-Robbo Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 4 minutes ago, Silvio Dante said: Apparently doing Bristol Rugby’s kit if BEP are correct, so rumour was half right. I think that would be Hummel's only Rugby Union shirt, if true. They are pretty big in Europe - and in sports like handball and volleyball - but the UK clubs that have their wear are pretty small fry. We'll be their biggest contract bar Rangers.
