Didn't we sign a 6 year deal with Hummel?

I know there's been problems with their UK distributor and maybe that's been a clause for City to get out of the deal but in my opinion it would be a massive shame. Have loved the stuff Hummel have put out and they've been really happy to work with City on design and make it something individual.

To be fair, the OPs hit rate has been excellent recently - calling the Towler deal and team changes that didn’t look obvious against both Wigan and Sunderland. He’s clearly got a source, and the Wycombe link on the commercial side ties up with Phil Alexander.

I’m in the camp of the Hummel stuff being excellent so would rather this didn’t happen, but there will be a get out clause on the deal with them, the distribution makes exercising that a consideration and it’s a plausible one.

If true, could this be linked to why shorts, socks and other hummel clothing has been added to the rewards scheme for the equivalent points of roughly £10 and under, trying to clear stock? Also only certain sizes with some items, we never usually sell cheaper this early on in a season, if at all ??‍♂️

Why would we ditch Hummel after signing a 6 year contract with them.. think the OP might be having us on..

Nope! Bang on. JL fuming at Hummel. Lots of failed promises, financial messes lingering as well. Was going to wait but decided to pull the plug before the globally televised Man City game. Will also be next seasons home kit, away kit will go to the third kit and be replaced. Don't think away will be popular, but harks back to the Thorn Security early 90s kit

Sorry what?! It’s February.

What is going on here. Am I biting on a big wind-up?!

If this is true, reading between the lines it seems we could be switching kits immediately. 

This could be an operational thing. You can't buy a mens shirt from the online shop so it could be that the teams are running low on stock also and can't replace them.

It feels like something is definitely amiss.

No sign of Hummel anywhere to be found, which would suggest a change might be imminent.

Good spot.
