Would be a great idea. I know a club did it a good few years ago. It does make me wonder who has the final say on our kits
So this new kit deal then
- Thread starter Melvyn
- Start date
I don't get what the hashtag is, just #playfor?
It's always bee announced around that time of the year. I have a late July birthday and I used to always get the new kit as a birthday present as it had only been revealed.
I don't get why everyone is getting their knickers in a twist about us apparently having a "late" unveiling this season.
I just give the info, i really don't see the players playing shirtless in august.
Not having a pop at you, mate; just something I've been meaning to say with a few weeks having seen a fair few meltdowns about shirt unveiling dates etc.
New kit deal seems to stalled like our signings
Like last season it seems like whilst other clubs prepare all our staff are on holiday, probably benidorm.New kit deal seems to stalled like our signings
I hear Rio's nice this time of year
Nah strife with crime and corruption plus I heard last min flights to conduct "important transfer related business" are much more expensive this time of the year.
Please not Warrior!
Adidas > Nike > Warrior.
Warrior in combination with Chevrolet would be the worst case for me. The kits and shoes from Warriror look cheap. Plus that hideous Chevy logo would be the worst kit ever. I will wait to see which company it will be in the end and if Warrior should get the deal, buy this years kit as soon as possible. It still looks decent and growing on me, probably because of the transfers we have and could still make. Hope for Adidas, would be a nice change and i believe Nike have nothing left to surprise us anymore.
Worst kit in a hundred years, Nike are really shit.
We're getting 53 million a season to write a name on our shirt. Bloody hell!
And since when did Mike Keegan start to work for BBC? I am quite sure he worked for MEN up until just a few days ago.
How much money we are getting from all sponsors in one season in the 2015-2016 season??
Chevrolet: 53m
New kit sponsor: 60m
Chevrolet: 53m
New kit sponsor: 60m
I know these posts were a while ago but Uniqlo are not historically a sports brand but they have been stepping up their sporting interests. I believe they sponsor some of the top golfers and Novak Djokovic. No reason why they wouldn't consider entering the football market, especially with a chance to sponsor united as that would be one of the biggest they could go for.
And 60 is at the lower end of figures that have been touted.
I think it is a nice enough kit - but then again for that price.. who cares? I never cease to be amazed how much commercial pulling power this club has.
It's definitely later than last seasons because I was able to buy the kit for my godson's birthday in June last year.
Last season release was the anomaly being in June rather than late July.
Probably something to do with rip-offs. If the club came out with, say, 3 versions to be voted on the rip-off merchants would have them all produced long before the official supplier released the chosen one.
I'm surprised they didn't go with a big 4th July launch to capitalise on the upcoming US tour, not to mention the seemingly increased popularity of the sport in that country right now.
Couldn't care less who makes the kit, if they pay us £60m or more per season.
He switched jobs very recently.
So this new kit deal isn't for this season? Are we sticking with nike for this season and then the highest bidder will make it next season?
They wouldn't get much media coverage on the 4th of July, would they?
Surely they are going to have to finally get this tied up soon, is taking alot longer than most people thought as it is.
My theory is Adidas, and Warrior are willing to pay what we are looking for but we would far rather stay with Nike, Nike have the right to match any deal we have been offered, but are waiting to see what we do in the transfer market before they commit this sort of money on us, so either way I expect a September announcement.

Nope, most of us will be outside barbecuing and at the beach.
For that amount of money I doubt the club cares how the shirt looks or who's making it. It might as well be from Adibas, Nkie or Fuma.
Our current kit should be this....
The new one is all about the sponsor, not the club badge the way it should be, its hideous.

The strange thing for me is that the name Chevrolet has more impact than any logo ever could. It's a unique name, it looks nice, it sounds exotic and mysterious. Whereas the logo looks like a bent plus symbol covered in custard.Our current kit should be this....

sounds like a bidding war, hopefully some of that money at least goes to the Club for players/transfers!
These shirts are going to fly off the shelves, amigos.
I really hope they went for the plain text instead of the Chevrolet logo like this one:
Ah, it's their gold bow-tie emblem apparently and not a badly drawn & wonky cross.
Will they have to recall 8.4 million shirts when the stitching comes apart?Our current kit should be this....
