It's good to hear there's been some positive comments about the new home and away kits.
There's been murmurings about people being not sure about buying them, due to:
1. The price
2. The fact that Martin Dawn are the sponsor.
Yes £44 for an adult shirt is a lot, especially if you want to get it customised. Lots of people have mentioned that they could reduce the price and increase turnover/profit. That might be theoretically true but it's a gamble because there's no data to support if this would actually occur. Clubs therefore pitch their shirt prices at the same as the competition (similar with ticket prices). I also think that the quality of the shirt and potential Wembley appearances are more important factors for shirt sales than the price. I can't really justify buying one at the moment but will probably ask for one as a birthday present!
Not buying a shirt just because it's Martin Dawn on the front seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. We can speculate about why MD are sponsoring us and why we might have turned down other offers, however the fact of the matter is that:
1. We're pretty skint
2. Shirt sales are a good way for the club to raise all important income
If you're boycotting buying the shirt due to the sponsor, then maybe think about exactly what effect you're having on the club, and whether that's what you want.
I don't want to sound too preachy - and these discussions have happened when people said they'd boycott over the treatment of Tilly - however we absolutely have to get out of this league and if an extra 500 shirt sales lead to an extra £10,000 (assumed £20 profit per adult shirt) that we can put towards a potential signing or loanee) then it might just make the difference.
UTBs!

You got the away kit wrong, so half the people you know are the wrong kind of people ? :smile:

I know the discussion for the design of this seasons home shirt is now moot, but Man City just revealed their away strip...
If we're still with Nike next season, I wouldn't mind that for next year. Should we start a thread for next seasons kits now? :dim:
