Demitri_C Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I looked further into the like proper stuff. Really awful clothing. I just hope their kits wont be like the clothing range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope their kits wont be like the clothing range From what I understood Like Proper would only be designing it and Fanatics would be doing the manufacturing so hopefully it will be ebtter than their clothing range. Really hate the logo, looks like a squashed fly more than a lion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read Unibet was finishing end of this season. I don’t have the article but yeah, I understand it was a ‘mutial consent’ ending of the contract. I would imagine to make way for a bigger income, possibly through RECON? EDIT- I was wrong on this, I think I was thinking of the under armour deal which was ended mutually. Was the unibet deal only ever 1 year anyway? Edited May 19, 2018 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No quality problems with any of them and I bought them because I like them. If you don't like them, that's fine, but it doesn't make them "awful".

alreadyexists Posted May 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Luke1977 doesn’t look like my cup of tea either, but it’s just not to my taste. I don’t like some brands as they’re too ‘showy’ like FrenchConnection (F C U K)- I think we’re all over the joke that it looks like a rude work but isn’t.

Ingram85 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Wonder if there is any chance of seeing the new kits prior to the UA deal officially ending? Always feels like every other club shows their shirts off before us. Just once I’d like us to be a club that has the kit out first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2018 I'm not a massive fan of the Luke stuff either, but the kit is unlikely to be anything like the clothing range. It's like not wanting a NIke kit because you're not a fan of their tracksuit bottoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I can't imagine that black and gold Luke logo will look any good on a kit. It'll hopefully be just an outline or similar in white. As for the design, there's just no way of knowing unless someone has seen a football kit designed by Luke before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I could find was a story about a guy called Gabriel telling a girl called Mary that she was about to be space raped. That's not going to look great on the terraces. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 If Recon is to be our shirt sponser does that mean they can pay whatever they went to sponsor the club? Hence more revenue for signings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 it cant be anything they want they have to follow precedent if recon are sponsoring a championship club for more than the top 4 then im sure they will look in to it, he cant sponsor VP for more than the emirates pay arsenal however if we go up everton i think is close to £20m a year so we could get away with something slightly higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just an assumption seeing as they were second shirt sponsor this season and we seem to be exploiting FFP loopholes wherever we can.
