Home kit 2023/24 - New Shirts Revealed

[GIBBO]

As I said, we signed a 3 year deal with Macron, and we are one year into it. So I can only assume our kit for next season will be with Macron.

Be interesting to see what our new owners would like to do. As far as I’m aware, RM hasn’t approved a design for next year. I’ve no idea what the lead time is for a kit. I’ve ordered one when I was in charge of my Sunday league side but that was through ProDirect Soccer, a mixture of medium, large and extra large. I’ve no idea what the time scale is for a professional club, with replicas too. Maybe best to ask @Ayrshire Blue

This is correct. The kits will Macron. To my understanding, The kits have been signed off all 3 of them. All 3 will be 'bespoke' kits. Not templates.

However, Macron do have some cracking templates this season.

We have to wait and see

Talks would usually take place around the turn of the calendar year for next season's kit with designs signed off on around the end of Feb. We were deep in talks with a Scottish Championship side this year following this format.

Well you never know, the contract might get torn up like what happened with Hummel!

Are we not 2 years into it? We have had macron kits for the last 2 years, meaning only 1 season left (hopefully!).

I like to see a navy blue, White and yellow home.

All 3 will be 'bespoke' kits. Not templates.

We hear that every year but then we see several other teams wearing the same 'template'. Only time this hasn't happened is when we had Hummel for one season.

I didn't see any other team wearing last season's kits.

To be honest I can't name names and I can't be bothered to try and look it up but I'm certain I saw at least 2 other clubs in the league wearing them.

Blackburn had the same home shirt as us last season (obvs different colour)

All kit suppliers that do bespoke kits. Work off a selection of templates / base. You pick a base and go off from there.

They all do, Nike, Adidas, Puma and even hummel

 

[BriggBlue]

In all honesty I'm surprised we even get the option of a bespoke kit at this level.

We sell at best 5,000 shirts, that's a maximum income on shirt sales of £200k. Take out the spend on actually designing, making, shipping selling etc I'd be surprised if Macron are making more than one person's full time pay out of Southend shirts

 

[Ozzer]

Off topic I know but that's pre Brian Lloyd joining.

Ray White? Btw the other player is not John Baber

One of our strangest kits. 1964/65 Season.

That is my favourite kit, The replica made by the company that makes the replicas (sorry - can't remember the name) isn't quite on the money as the stripes are a very light blue and not white.

I think the keeper is Ian McKechnie, isn't it?

Just creating some kits for a FIFA mod I am making. Here's a concept I made for a Southend away kit

Ah, gotcha. I want to teach myself how to make them in Photoshop for Football Manager. I can use templates, but I'd like to recreate some of our older shirts and there aren't templates for them, so they need making from scratch.

Good.

Only decent kits we’ve had in the last decade was the Hummel ones & that was **** all to do with him.

You can make custom textures for use on that website. I also have Photoshop and I intend to attempt recreating some authentic shirts for FIFA when I'm better at using it.
