CONFIRMED 2019/2020 Kit Mega Thread

[WaveyDavey]

We might be a big club now, but looking at their website they don't seem overly established (I appreciate that this is annoying for people that haven't seen the company name and want to, but there is no point me naming them again here if it means that this message/thread ends up being removed as well).

You would assume that the type of business that looks to advertise as a main shirt sponsor for a premier league team would be an established brand. Not necessarily an established brand in Sheffield, or even Europe, but somewhere in the world, at the very least in the place they appear to be headquartered. But this companies main "brand" video on Youtube has 3k views. The 2nd most viewed video has 168... I also can't find any sign that they have ever advertised with any other team or event (I obviously haven't listened to all the worlds radio and TV so cant comment there) but this seems to be their first go at advertisement/sponsorship.

If you type their name into Google the 2nd most popular result is "company name" scam. The most popular is "company name" review, which brings up websites showing only a handful of complementary reviews left within a few days of each other a year or so ago. Obviously if the money is good and Utd actually see the money then fair enough.

Apologies if it was the club that asked for the other thread to be pulled for a while for whatever reason, I appreciate the above probably reads worse than "that's a shit logo". I'd guess they asked you to pull it as they want to announce it and it not break here (we are still still watching that space!). People were/are going to Google them anyway, just a case of when. Given that I'm a nobody on a forum talking about something I know nothing about hopefully they won't be too upset. Fell free to remove this and thoroughly tell me off if needs be though.

To be honest how many of this type of company ARE you knowledgeable about...... I bet most of us would answer zero to that question. Looks like they have been going since 2005, They seem to be quite a big name on the opposite side of world but have also gained UK licenses last year and get very good reviews from industry review sites. The "scam" result you found on Google looks to be just one post on a forum from someone who had used this company a few years ago so not a common thing.

Bearing in mind how many people watch the PL worldwide I bet there's a large amount of people from the other side of the world to who this company will be one that they recognise.

Just to put the thing about Twitter followers into perspective......

A mate of mine works in banking.... He works for a company that is part of the Santander group but you would have never heard of his particular company name.... Their Twitter accounts etc... are followed by low numbers of people but they have a turnover in the hundreds of millions at least.... He deals with people most days who are making bank transfers of six and seven figure sums..... When you are looking at companies like this in the financial sector they are not all well known to the public and not followed by loads of Joe Public people on social media.

I like the logo.

Working in financial services myself, I see your point regarding big names not being in the public domain - particularly private banks, who your friend will work for (Carter Allen?), who by their very definition do not promote themselves on the same scale as commercial banks. Most of the world's largest asset managers, reinsurers and insurers are likely to draw blank faces from the majority, but they still all have a credible and professional presence online. Their websites are slick and most often will have a large amount of content to attract prospective clients.

The company who were mentioned on here ticked none of the boxes from what I saw and there's very little about them out there (the geographical difference doesn't help either, of course).

Where's the other kit thread gone?

Did someone post something too accurate?

oops...

 

[bongleblade]

Not sure whether it was the revealing of the alleged sponsor themselves that resulted in the thread disappearing or the remarks about the look/quality of their logo.

oops...

 

[bongleblade]

someone leaked a variant of the sponsors initials, and then it was a guessing game of the variant, which it appears i accidentally guessed correctly... i then joked on the appearance of the logo, and poof it’s gone

Months of bollocks down the drain!

Think of the mockups, will someone please think of the mockups!

We were told last year the Ramsdens logo was a last minute rush job and that was obvious to all when it appeared on the Home Shirt. There are bound to be some concerns about how this years effort will look if the company previously mentioned is the one.

So if any of the new sponsors are viewing this site to gauge reaction please note the following;

Sponsors logos look best when not superimposed on a white background and blend into the stripes on the shirt.

Sheffield United play in Red, White and Black and sponsors colours should be adjusted to complement this.

Sponsors investing shed loads should insist that Club traditions are upheld and the Home Shirt has Stripes on the front, back and sleeves.

In keeping with the tradition theme sponsors should ensure the Sheffield United they are investing in look like Sheffield United on the pitch, not Stoke City so no white shorts

Not sure that thread was taken down due to the logo or sponsor mentioned as I believe the sponsor we have got was mentioned very early in the thread. I am guessing it got took down due to something which was said in general which might have an impact on other proceedings

hmm... i do wonder if the kit launch is due this week and they wanted to build anticipation for it by deleting the mega kit thread?

Were we watching the wrong space all along?

[HighfieldBlade]

It’s disappeared now, but without naming them this is the new sponsor’s logo, minus the name.

Thanks. Can't say I recognise it.
Does anyone know it?

 

[s4-blade]

Don’t get why it’s been removed at all, it’s not like anybody really gives a fuck about sponsors, we do need it releasing like a signing

 

[GallonofMagnet]

I actually really like that, we have links with Aussie due to the mariners right so could be a go-er

That's the one Bert was also told about

 

[LondonBlade89]

It would be such a nice shirt without that logo!!!!!

*if legit and all that.

 

[YouFUMS]

That colour is great. It's the colour most of my white shirts end up after our lass has washed em. Let's see if she can ruin that.

 

[s4-blade]

A lot of people not happy with the logo but why? What’s wrong with it? Better than some Chinese gibberish like half the league has

Always going to be plenty of discussion, rumour, and conjecture after the bigged up announcement and then nothing several weeks later.

Ooooh... you tease. Can’t wait for another 300 knocked up shirt designs

[Macfarlane21]

I expected there to be at least 5 fan concept kit mock ups with USG on here already.

 

[Selly]

Its encouraging that the logo and initials in the announcement are rendered in Red, White and Black...

 

[S6 Blade]

Saw someone say home shirt is out Friday so must be releasing both together. Looks ok that shirt though. Can confirm that’s the one my mate saw in the meeting

 

[blades95]

Something simple like this hopefully
