CHINESE KIT

[Nicesheffielder]

With the club releasing a range of training attire for the Chinese new year could this be a clue as to possible investment or a full take over?Or just clever marketing by the club ,I can't remember us doing anything like this before your thoughts Blades

 

[drblade]

Blimey.

 

[MKY]

Bizarre!

 

[Bladesman]

That is random. I doubt we are having a Chinese takeover as that money gravy train got stopped by their government.

It might just be something we are doing for local Chinese students etc that live in Sheffield.

 

[Rodley]

Fine with it.

 

[Aganarama]

Man City have done this for a couple of years now. Perhaps we should copy them winning games too?

Sun Jihai is replacing Wilder as manager.

 

[woody_7]

Just wong !

 

[s20Blade]

Makes me want to order a crispy chilli chicken, egg friend rice and a portion of salt and pepper chips.

 

[RammyBlade]

Disgusting look !

 

[designblade]

It looks alright but WHY?

 

[Spot the Vas]

No Chengdu Blades emblem as part of the pattern?

Sheffield has quite a lot of Chinese investment over the years so maybe just trying to promote the brand along side that. Maybe it will bring us luck...

They are having a Chinese dragon turn up in Windsor later. I couldn't help but think....why?

At least Sheffield has some vague Chinese link. I guess this sort of stuff is for people who buy every single item of blades merchandise for their collection?

Didn't realise Camilla was even Chinese. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Large Chinese community in Sheffield. Good marketing strategy to tap into that.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

I hear we are installing 2 golden dragons in the car park. Interesting.

 

[Mouth of the South]

Don't think I'll be purchasing but if they attract interest in the club, sells more merchandise, encourages people to attend or even helps surface a buyer or investor then it's ok by me.

Does seem odd this? It’s not like we are paired up with Chendu or owt so seems a bit bizarre

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Very snazzy.

 

[JT89]

It looks alright but WHY?

The huge Chinese community in Sheffield, most of which is centred across the road from the stadium maybe? Ya know, to tap into a potentially huge market of new fans and raise the clubs profile globally...

 

[prescotblade]

Seemingly the club producing these shirts could be prophetic.
the year of the Dragon is linked to a year of change, could be a rollercoaster, but a time of creativity. Can’t say much more about the Blades

 

[Champagneblade]

I may well get this. I was Born in the year of the Dragon and that is the year this year. It is an auspicious year in that it will probably see a Baby Boom.

It does look a big garish but it has a feel of traditional Chinese attire and of course it has a Blades angle too.

Be careful on sizes though. Training sizes seem to differ wildly from kit sizes.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

There's a new promotion at the club shop actually.

Free bag of Prawn crackers if you spend over £18.

Maybe

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Nowt to do with owt other than following suit with what other clubs have done for the past few years. New merch mid-season to make more dosh.

I bought an XL training top and it was skin tight. I'm a L in the Adidas kit.

Don’t get him started on the Royal Family. He dislikes them more than he does United.
