All you'll ever find inside franchise shirts is c*nts.

In 2 years time will our kit suppliers be Spall?

Will the new third kit be available in medium, SA?

I think the bigger kit deals dont include any shirt sales. For instance Man UTD may npt actually make any money from shirt sales because the brand recognition for Addidas is so big sales are upped in other ways.

Admiral and puma are connected I believe

Not totally out of the ordinary to see two kits. This nike advert from 2010 has Rooney in an England kit made by Umbro. As I beleive Umbro and Nike are part of the same company. [Link]

YW - dream on. FTFC kit is direct from the Puma catalogue, the only difference is the crest. Our kit is bespoke so the quantities are less than for a catalogue product that are premade.

Maybe I should have started my last post with - could you imagine if .......

I imagine you need to be much bigger than us to get a sponsorship payment from a kit supplier. Who wears Puma shirts? I can only think of Arsenal, Leicester and (wince) Rangers.

I hope we don't end up with Franchise labels in our shirts ;-( . Although it would be funny if they found AFCW labels in theirs :-)

Do we get a sponsorship payment from the kit manufacturer? I've got no idea what the merchandise business model is, but I would have assumed that at our level the only bonus we would get is the unit cost for our kits (effectively how much profit we make when we sell).

Kit suppliers seem to change ownership almost as much as the kits themselves...

SA - would I? ?? 😂

Although it will be interesting to see if the new 3rd kit gets more use than the yellow away kit.

CW - I wouldn't be so sure on that.

Puma is Admiral's parent company before all you consipacy theorists start.

Cheshire - from the OS: "In support of the kit lifecycle commitment made in the Club’s Fans Charter, the deal will first introduce PUMA third kit, Training and Bench Wear from the start of the 2017/18 season, alongside the Club’s current 2016/17 home and away kits, before launching a full PUMA range for the 2018/19 season." From which I think we can infer that the blue and yellow kits from last season will feature next season.

Presumably the money that Puma are supplying may help strengthen the squad

So it's the 3rd kit launch, puma, does that mean we still have admiral for 1st and 2nd setup? Because then it would be a full kit launch

The Puma stadium anyone..?

Hillsy - Luckily we don't have a deal with Errea, which appears to be who the franchise use.

As long as this doesnt happen ... [Link]

This kit milarky smells.

Hmmm, I thought the current home and away yellow kit have been the best for a long time, and really good quality, so am gutted the admiral thing is ending next summer. Cue off the peg puma templates just the same as all the other puma wearing clubs, and judging by seeing puma kits for arsenal, Newcastle etc - naff quality material and printed logos and even badges
