New Kit thread 2019/20

[gibbinson]

I bet we play in the new home kit against Millwall

 

[Mad Cyril]

So we're still not releasing the kit on Monday. That just says more information. Less than 2 weeks til the start of the season by that point ???

What's the problem?

It's not like you have to break a football shirt in like a pair of school shoes.

To be honest I'm another that doesn't really understand the way we launch our new kits. The whole reveal at MTBD is very old fashioned for me. Fair enough if that's when they want them to go on sale (again something I don't really understand), but surely in this day and age they should do some kind of flashy, creative internet reveal long before the end of July?

 

[Ricey]

Obviously a spoof

I agree. If it's a sales reason, then I think they are wrong. I think it was once asked at one of those Q&A things, and the answer was 32 kits(Adults were just shirts), if I remember right were sold on the MTBD that season, including kids kits. If the launch were about 2 weeks earlier, I'm sure more would sell, as fans could proudly wear the shirts for longer before the start of the new season, especially if it's a cracking shirt. They could still sell the shirts and full kit at MTBD as well. Yes they won't then sell so many on the day, but the combined total will definitely be bigger.

I think they are allowed to wear them in friendlies(A big bunce from Paddy Power), but not in the League. They break the current FA rules. It looks disgusting. Let's hope that the FA keep it as it is.
FA Statement.
The FA has also asked the Terriers for their observations about the new kit.

“The FA has clear kit and advertising regulations for all club matchday kits,” an FA spokesperson said.

“If we believe that any club has breached these rules we will look into the matter and, if required, will take the appropriate action.”

FA rules state a playing kit is only permitted to have “one single area not exceeding 250 square centimetres on the front of the shirt”.

The kit is awful but I wouldn't mind Southend being sponsored by a fast food establishment.

Wimpy would be great however I would also be happy with Kebab 2000, Kebab World, Chick Stop, Balti Lord or Balti Lord 2.

I would like to see a total ban on gaming firm advertisement.

I hope Southend are never sponsored by such a company. It just looks so tacky.

It looks like he's already yodelled down the front of the away shirt.

I don't see how they're allowed to do it, they banned alcohol sponsors they should do the same with betting companies.

It is. You literally cant have a sponsor logo that big. Huge publicity stunt to get everyone talking about Huddersfield and PP. They said on their site the shirt wont be available to fans until next week. When they will inevitably reveal the real shirt

 

[MK Shrimper]

Absolutely. Gambling ruins many lives, it should be banned from sponsoring anything and advertising on telly or online and pushed back into the dark like smoking or drink driving.

That’s right, ban everything you don’t agree with and screw the thousands employed in the industry because a tiny minority can’t control themselves.

 

[Grayson]

Calm down you lot. I won't even get onto the argument about gambling companies, but will keep it relevant with football team kits instead.

Paddy Power will likely not even feature on the actual shirt at all.

GVC (owners of Ladbrokes, Coral and some more) are ending all sponsorships and donated their Betdaq ones to children's charities, such as on the Sunderland shirt.

Yet drugs are banned, millions will take them this weekend and the vast majority will got to work on monday morning. I wonder what addiction causes more pain?

Well I obviously didn’t look at it from that angle - thanks

I’m not saying ban it, but ban the advertising and encouragement of it. These ‘great offers and odds’ they are forever peddling. Smoking isn’t banned but you can’t advertise it. Betting should be the same.

That’s your respected opinion. I disagree.
