Nothing will be announced until they have agreed with either the current or new sponsors, then they will make a big announcement about our new sponsor on the website and by the magic of Nike the new kit will appear. In the meantime if you wish to see a sneak preview look at clubs like Barnsley,Southend etc and we will have a kit in which is pretty close to that design.
Have asked the shop when kit will be launched was hoping to get it for my son for his birthday at end of June. Doesn't look likely to be until July sometime.
When do schools go on holiday ? Definitely need to get the kit out prior to this.
Surely we'll have it sorted by the time we play Welling, and that's on the 6th July isn't it?
Hopefully - I thought schools went on holiday beginning of July. As its basically a catalogue kit it can only be the question of sponsor (or lack of) that's holding up.
Reckon we might see a company owned by Jiminez or Cash as the sponsor. Bumper sponsorship deal to inject funds into club and get around the FFP rules, ala Man City and the Arabs but on a much smaller scale.
What Nike get paid to do is build a brand and they have done that very well.
So much so that some on here were estatic that we were getting a little tick on our shirts regardless of what the actual shirt looked like, that we'd franchised out our Club shop and didn't even have a deal with Nike themselves.
Once you have the brand you don't need to much more than maintain it to make lots of cash. You can sell almost anything if it has the brand and you get enough famous players to wear it.
Be careful what you wish for Nike haters! I went I to the Brighton shop on Monday. Their stuff is made by Errea and is absolutely horrendous. It's cheap, market tshirts and polos with the Brighton badge GLUED on top. Made me very grateful indeed.

I meant the kit designers specifically....and it's their creative agencies that build the brand.
Being a kit designer must be an incredible difficult job. At the end of the day there is only so much you can do with a football shirt, and then fans say: we want something that looks smart and simple in these specific colours but that has never been done before. I challenge anyone to think of something that looks smart and simple but has never been done before.

Probably wrong but would make sense.
They seem to create the worst boots going too.

Their shirt will be darker, but I don't like the fact they've gone for an all red badge.
Looking forward to new kit though. If she's good she may get the new shirt for her birthday in August.
