Talking of kit design in general, check out the absolute bobbins (from Pete Hoppins) spurted out by Nike over what is basically a template kit for Barcelona (it’s essentially the same one Croatia use) My favourite quote is the one at the end....this sounds like the biggest freeloading corporate you’ve ever heard of....
For 2019-20, the Blaugrana deviate from its traditional striped home jerseys. Instead, it will debut a checkboard print inspired by the gridded streetscape of Barcelona’s Eixample district.
The neighborhood pulses with creativity, and its residents are acknowledged as the building blocks of the city’s future.
“Barcelona is a club with a bold and adventurous philosophy and that resonates throughout the city,” says Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director.
Influential figures from Barcelona’s broad sporting spectrum joined FC Barcelona’s players and pioneers from the fields of fashion, science, food, music and art to unveil the kit and celebrate their shared spirit, culture and identity.
In 2015-16, Barcelona’s kit swapped its traditional stripes for hoops. The checkboard design is only the second shift from the club’s norm and provides a fresh interpretation of Barca’s world-famous colors.
“Barcelona is a special place and the football club is the heartbeat. We are all fans and the style with which they achieve their success inspires us every single day. Bringing everyone together like this really highlights the unique things that are happening in our community,” says scientist Laura Souek (presumably as she was quaffing down her 19th free carva)
How much is our sponsorship typically? £250k? Is so, that won't make a bit of difference to us, especially since Rat would just keep it. Thus, would love to see us with no sponsor and a bigger crest.
Hopefully not a betting firm this time. If your sponsor is sufficiently dodgy that you can't sell kits to children with their company's name on it's not a great sign
I remember when we had an unwritten policy as a family club not to be sponsored by gambling or booze companies. Would be great to go back to that ethos.
The Barca kit is shite, and the gift about how it's only the second shift from stripes is nonsense too, they've played in half and half shirts a couple of times before
Hummel's effort for Cambridge's new away kit, based upon their 1993 away kit.
I quite like it.
Really impressed with the way Hummel produce stylish bespoke kits for even small clubs, when you look at the lazy template shirts many of the big clubs have

May I point you in the direction of the "like" button.
Have been extremely impressed with Hummel ever since we have been involved with them. Not only are our kits decent but the kits for the other clubs they do are very good and unique to that club, not just any old catalogue like you get with Nike.

I hope to god that Rat negotiated a deal where the club gets more money in The Championship.

I very much doubt RD took part in any kind of negotiation with them, it would've been someone else, Murray maybe?
I also think the sponsor to replace Betdaq is the more financially attractive deal, in the short term, whoever they end up being.
Not that it matters much as the budget won't change no matter the sponsorship.
Those Charlton ones are brilliant, obviously without the sponsor and the new sponsor but if they were our kits, which I know they’re made up, but you’d have to be very happy with that. Just add a little customary special Charlton part to it such as maybe it saying Charlton Athletic in a very similar red throughout the top.

lets just have this and be done with it...no sponsor
