All clubs use partnership rather than sponsorship these days, in fact the RSK announcement was also called a partnership.DubaiCAFC said:
The press release doesn't go in to much detail.. and the use of 'partnership' rather than 'sponsorship'. The release is very much about what UoG are receiving and very little about what Charlton are getting..Dazzler21 said:
If you know no details why would your assumption be that no money passes hands?DubaiCAFC said:I don't know all the details for UoG deal, assume no money passes hand? What is the value to Charlton, all I can see is a lot of benefits to them?
I can remember reading a while back that the Uni might be investing in to Sparrows Lane (or did I make that up)

Someone mentioned collars on the new kit, could this be the template?0

Like all those collars. That retro Newcastle shirt is lovely.The Red Robin said:Their kits seem a bit fussy to me - like the dreaded Cabrini monstrosity - but hopefully the museum lads have had a word (??) and they go with simple.1 -
I have no reason, but I feel like I’m going to be underwhelmed by our upcoming kits, is it fact we are going castore, sorry if I’ve missed this as confirmation. Are they going to be bespoke design or back to the Nike type mundane stuff?.2

Asked TS and there is a significant financial element to the deal.
He didn't say how much.
Also asked two of the players and they hadn't seen any new shirts and hadn't heard about Castore
Didn't appear to be of much interest to them but they weren't expecting to see new kits or training gear any time soon.3 -
So potentially one more Hummel year?0
-
Castore expanding quickly. Read online they are also bringing on Aston Villa, Leverkusen, Sevilla and Feyenoord this summer.1

That's because they won't be wearing our kit next season anyway!Henry Irving said:Asked TS and there is a significant financial element to the deal.

I often wonder what's in it for Castore (or the maker of any other smaller clubs kit)? It's not like they're going to get rich off selling Charlton kits and we are a lot smaller in fanbase compared to their other clubs (the ones you've named, Newcastle, Rangers etc).sam3110 said:

They must easily sell 100k+ shirts for those clubs and much more than that for Newcastle. Rangers sold over 250k of their latest kit in a few months last summer. What kind of numbers do we sell?0 -
I suppose it’s brand awareness more than the amount of shirts each club sells.I imagine they have analysts telling them that for every EFL club they do, they’ll get x return on their sports and street wear… I know for a fact I’ve been far more open to looking at Hummel stuff since they did our shirts.1

Brand awareness, all major retail will have a loss leader or break even, at my work we give away quite a few freebies and incentives, they all cost on the P&L but help towards creating the right image and bigger picture of the companyChris_from_Sidcup said:

Look how quickly Hummel expanded after they supplied us?Chris_from_Sidcup said:

So with the club shop slashing prices on this year's kit over the last few days, do we think it is just good business sense by TS or is the new deal/kits about to be announced.
The old Charlton would wait until the start of the next season to reduce them by 85%. But a better idea would have been to do this before the last home game of the season.0 - Sponsored links:

The club doesn't run the shop.
Prices nothing to do with TS.
But yes, new manufacturer set to be announced, hopefully soon.1 -
Oh sorry I thought they had taken it back under control.0

From memory, that’s what Wayne Mumford wants to do - however depends on the contract with whoever runs the shop - if they are on a (say) 5 year contract, signed in the final season of Roland, with no breaks, then the only way to do it is to pay them off, which is likely expensivecfgs said:Oh sorry I thought they had taken it back under control.
Judging by the quality of commercial negotiations (both football related, and elsewhere) under Roland, I would not be surprised if above was the case….1 -
We are probably paying them to run it in that case.Lordflashheart said:

Elite, Hummel's retail arm, have run the "superstore" for five years.
With the deal up the retail operation will either come back in house or go to Castore.1 -
Whoever the sponsor is, let’s hope there is no repeat of last summer’s shambles when kids had to wait until six weeks into the season for their new kit to be in stock.0

6 weeks ? Some of it was still absent in November and then by Decemeber was half price on MandM sports.BFG94 said:Whoever the sponsor is, let’s hope there is no repeat of last summer’s shambles when kids had to wait until six weeks into the season for their new kit to be in stock.1 -
Looking forward to the new Castore CAFC kit whilst dreading what they are about to do with Quins who have just linked up with them ditching Adidas.
If they get the CAFC kit ready in time for folk to have it at the pre-season games and still have some stock left for late buyers pre-Christmas they will be a vast improvement.
Looking at their other clubs and involvements (like Maclaren F1) we can expect a great leisure range (or whatever non replica kit is called these days).
if the UOG deal is linked to progress for the academy, Sparrows Lane and it’s environs that’s a hugely positive step.With all the negative vibes on here about every other aspect of the management of our club I think Wayne Mumford deserves a huge amount of credit for what he is achieving. Sponsors we aren’t ashamed of etc. It can’t be easy marketing a mid table club from the third tier of English football.4 -
I think this season's black shirt will go down as a classic.6

*Shocked at this, personally I thought Keohane did a great job with the pitch maintenance this season. 😉RichmondSE10Exile said:Looking forward to the new Castore CAFC kit whilst dreading what they are about to do with Quins who have just linked up with them ditching Adidas.
