Anyone ordered from Fanatics? I ordered online last Friday, reckons it's been 'despatched' but nowt doing 🤷‍♂️
I ordered my first attempt from them last Friday, came Monday with 15% off. Sponsor was wonky and itnlooked ridiculous so I've sent it back and went down to the store to get one in person instead. Bit of a faff
 
I definitely need a sponsorless one for the collection. But I think this shirt might well fall in to the ‘looks better with sponsor’ category.

I know it’s a gambling sponsor which sole frown upon but it’s nice to have a sponsor whose logo is smart - or should I say inoffensive.
 
The Japan pre-match shirt - which is the same as ours but black - has a graphic to the rear.

Feel like ours should have had the same treatment to make it less bland.

As a club we are also long overdue our own typeface - something you see a lot of clubs do for branding and for their own custom name/numbers for cup competitions.
 
Got my away shirt from the Lane last week. Always used to be an XL with Adidas and still am now.

First shirt I picked up and tried on had a slightly wonky blades badge but the others all looked ok so swapped it for another.

Never noticed till I got home but only has the main sponsor on the front and no sponsor on the arm/sleeve. Not sure if it’s all of them or just the batch mine is from but think it looks a lot better without the big black Village Hotels box on the sleeve.

None have village on
I have seen both sponsor and sponsorless looks better without tbh. More retro look
 
Looked great in action yesterday, it is currently a top 5 championship kit on FootballKitArchive 👍

I love both kits there. Personally, don't like walking around advertising a company in big block letters though (particularly gambling ones).

Aesthetically the Midnite logo blends in really nicely with the shirt, but - personally - I think the sponsorless one looks cleaner and more timeless and something I'd be more likely to wear.

Versus last seasons away kit
Controversial I like last year's better


This season's is miles better.

It really is one of the best we've had in years.

Seemed to have some XL stock in today.

I got a couple. One for me, one for the daughter. She isn’t XL at all but apparently baggy footy shirts are fine so at least it will last a few years until the sponsor drops off!

... a further reason to buy sponsorless.

My view too.

Completely understand and respect why people might not want this specific sponsor on their shirt, plus some just prefer sponsorless shirts.

However, i think the shirt looks better with the sponsor's logo. Seems bare without it.
