ThunderPower_14 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I say this every year but we always seem to be one of the last to see our kits. We haven't seen a good leak since palletgate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 3, 2016 Moderator Share Posted May 3, 2016 4 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: I can't remember the last time we wore a new kit in the last game of the preceding season. It certainly hasn't happened since the start of the nike days which was about 10 years ago. So I'd say there's very close to zero chance of that happening this time. Given the exposure that the last day of the Premier League season gets across the world, it would only be possible to do this if you were staying with the same manufacturer from this season to next. Otherwise the outgoing manufacturer would never forego their final day in the sun in order to help someone else hawk their wares. So I'm going to say there is definitely zero chance of it happening this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Yes, good point. Not going to happen. Plus with a new manufacturer we'd have had a big unveiling by now if we were going to debut a new kit. Edited May 3, 2016 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Should make the players wear a full white strip - to coincide with their lack of fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) I don't think it's limited to just manufacturers but sponsors too. I believe that for at least the last three years we've had a different sponsor so we've not been able to showcase a new kit early as the deals presumably run for the entire length of a season.

Ingram85 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Would be nice to see a leaked pic though, I miss pallet gate and sport shop worker boy Delphino knows what's up, hogging the knowledge all coy like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2016 Does Delphino know this year? I haven't seen him post anything. Was his source Macron based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan. Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The thought of a big kit launch makes me cringe. They should just use mannequins as we are short of players that want to wear the shirt ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 why is our kit manufacturer and sponsor getting worst season by season? it would be less embarrassing to have no sponsor at all and the shirts made by the local junior school kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not. Under Armour is much better than Macron. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Under Armour are the 3rd biggest sportswear brand in the world, clear ahead of Puma in 4th and only behind Nike and Adidas. They sponsor Steph Curry who is the biggest marketing draw in sport in 2016. They'll do okay for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, how do you define "worst"? These are companies paying us to promote their brand - the only thing on which to judge them is how much they are paying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
