New kit

[Ricky]

Sponsors on the back ruin shirts. If the sponsor on the front doesn't.

I wish they had shirts available without sponsors for fans to buy.

 

[David Lee's first touch]

Yeah but once you get to the age of 14, it stops being funny.

Not to those immature unclean wankers it doesn't

Have been saying exactly that for years.

We're buying the shirt, NOT the sponsors.
It seems that the sponsors names now mean more than the club badge.

 

[BushBlade]

Part of the reason companies sponsor shirts is because large numbers of people buy them and then walk around with their logo on.
If shirts were available without a sponsor on them, everyone would buy them so our sponsorship money would be less.

If Celtic can offer both : Sponsored / Non Sponsored.

At the same price.

Why couldn't SUFC offer the supporters the option?

Some maybe would buy both, doubling the turnover, those who won't buy a shirt that's sponsored to death, maybe would consider spending?
Who are more important to the club, the humble, everyday, man-on-the-street, raggamuffin, non ST Buying Blade supporter or....
The front of the shirt, back of the shirt, back of the shorts, sponsor, company of "Blades' Supporters?"

 

[FriethBlade]

If you don't want the sponsor get one of the vintage Topps ones, added bonus 100% cotton too

I believe the kids would say "lol"...

I'd be all over a non-sponsor shirt. Sponsor names almost always look abysmal and nearly always put me off buying one. If I'm ever bought one as a gift, it's enough to stop me wearing one. I can see that the sponsor's interest is tied to the fact that thousands of people will be walking around Sheffield with their company name emblazoned across their chest and back, but it's not for me. Even if you could pay for a premium 'non-sponsor' version I would probably bite.

Get him to turn round, walk back about 12 feet, and smack James Shield right in his useless, single-sentence-writing-style, regurgitating-the-same-non-information, shitty-chinny-neck-beard face will ya? Reading his "stories" in The Star reminds me of being in pre-school listening to "Wot I did on me hollydaze"...

I remember as a lad thinking the exact opposite. Replica shirts used to come with no sponsor on and I longed for one emblazoned with "Laver" so it looked more authentic.

 

[Linz]

I'm ambivalent about the whole sponsor thing*, but wouldn't a plain shirt just look like an Adidas template kit with a badge stuck on?

I'm having flashbacks to last year

* I don't buy the shirts until they're cheap and only then to wear in the gym.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Away wi' the' nonsense.

How much ya gonna be stinging the supporters for?

£50+ ?

 

[TJB.]

Anyone listening on Hallam FM?

I for one can't wait to hear the new kit.

 

[whitehouse79]

dcl likes his milfs

 

[Ron_Justice]

To be fair, a well considered Shirt / Sponsor combination CAN work well. The Wards era shirts are a prime example, but when the colours clash with the shirt and the sponsor logo's are little more than a vinyl square ironed onto the front, it just looks like a shitty afterthought.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Alpharooms!?

 

[carthesis]

Che is a lot shorter than I thought. I know DCL is tallish...

 

[Worksop_Blade]

Alpharooms!?

Eccy Road based, MD or someone is probably a Blade.

 

[TJB.]

Hot daym!!!

It's got Capital One shirt vibes to it I thought...

 

[cooperblade]

My initial reaction is that it's really nice but think the shoulders would've been better in red than black.

 

[Chali 2na]

I like it a lot.

 

[Ricky]

Wonder what all 7 people who probably turned up make of it...

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

NO.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Looks fantastic TBF. So glad to see some synergy between the sponsor's logo and the shirt colour. Hope the back of shirt logo has been considered as well.

 

[carthesis]

Not keen tbh.

Shoulders should have been red not black and it'd have been ok. I like the black collar, but should have had black trim on the sleeve collars too. Personally, I like black pinstripes bordering the red stripes.

Yet again we get a kit that doesn't look as good as some of the fan-renditions on here.

 

[FleaPitBlade]

THAT is a Sheffield United shirt.
