You should only be able to release a new shirt when your sponsor or kit supplier changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted November 25, 2021 Admin Share Posted November 25, 2021 Great to see but would assume behind season tickets it is a clubs second highest source of income Probably goes to show how being in the Prem gives you so much extra money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we get outraged a second time at the same kit, or show twice as much outrage the first time round?central badges again ffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Notgetinya Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Brentford will wear this seasons kit next season aswell in an effort to make football more affordable for fans and to focus the game on sustainability. Brilliant in my opinion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 "Brentford will wear 2021-22 home kit again next season" In real terms I imagine it will still mean a new shirt every year. It will probably go back to Home one year, and Away the next. It was bad enough when it was like that, by stealth it went 2/3 shirts every year.

weepywall Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 It's a decent gesture to be fair and obviously good for the fans but it's PL money that's allowing them to do it, shirt sales to Brentford who let's be honest are not going to sell 10's of thousands of shirts is probably a drop in the ocean to their overall finances these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bas's perfect hattrick Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I've got a west ham supporting mate and they can get the home/away shirt without the sponsor on the front. I would love that option with city, and would def buy a shirt more often as it looks a lot better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon bristol Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Just read that brentford have introduced this,,, i remember as a kid this was always the case,,, our old hirerite kits seemed the same for ever?! seems like this is a really good idea, and if people know the kits will stay for 2 years they might be more inclined to buy one? Other environmental factors were noted, but this is a fairly murky area in terms of milking parents every summer if you ask me? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Good news I reckon. I think it’s only their home kit but it makes sense to hold a home kit and build a bit of tradition/identity over 2/3/4 years….. and not rip off supporters as much as they do now. As a pay-off let teams do what they want and have as many change kits as they like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBB Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Easy stocking fillers and birthday presents so personally happy to have fresh new kits each season. Seems all part of pre-season now but can understand people preferring a 2 year cycle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Why would we want to constrain an income stream for the club when all the other clubs in our league are cashing in? We have already have enough handicaps to being competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s laudable and it’s a model I personally prefer however, outside of the top division, clubs like ours need all of the money they can earn so I think it’s unlikely that we’ll see a change anytime soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 There will be no figures to work with, but I'd love to know the sales of shirt numbers each year. It would be interesting to be able to have home, away & 3rd kit shirt sales for A) New every year B) every other year I wonder if the sales would go up due to longer period of relevance and would they sale more of a 2nd kit if they'd had the first shirt for a while. It's not like there would be 2 years between shirts, just 2 years before each shirt is renewed. Year 1, home shirt. Year 2, Away shirt.

We have already have enough handicaps to being competitive. Revenue brought in by shirt sales is a comparative pittance. Like most football clubs, most of our money comes from the owner. Having a new shirt every two seasons would put more money back into the pockets of our supporters and also help cut the needless production of a load of shirts, which quickly go out-of-date. In addition, the dyeing process involved in making these shirts is very harmful to the environment. Some may consider that final point to outweigh simply "cashing in".

Exeter do that - mind you, their kits are usually vile. Which is odd, because red and white stripes should be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have already have enough handicaps to being competitive. You believe we get much more of a % of the shirt sales than we actually do... Manchester United are rumoured to only get around 10% of their shirt sales so what do you reckon we get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
