Kits

What about those that did the shirt sleeve for the FA Cup..could they be potential sponsors for this season in some capacity? Shirt sleeve/shorts ..?

Quoted from HertsGTFC

But unlike Fenty don't you think they've earned a bit of trust?

No.

Quoted from aldi_01

Either way, it’ll be stripes, pretty unimaginative and not available in long sleeves…

Wrong. This coming season we will be wearing vertical hoops instead of stripes.

I don't think it's fair to level the due diligence card at the board regards myenergi. They are a young company which brings a level of risk and they have grown very aggressively which adds risk. They have however been backed by Terry League. As a young company, redundancies are more concerning than when they are made by Young's. 100 jobs under threat at myenergi is a quarter of their workforce, whilst 285 at Young's Marston Road is a much smaller proportion of their workforce.

There are huge problems with clothing supply chains and the big clubs obviously take priority as they sell more shirts. Barnsley played their first friendly against Worksop last season in their 2021/22 Puma away kit due to delays with their new one. I understand why we might not have it yet, but surely we could have seen it and given people a chance to pre-order it?

There are Premier League clubs that haven’t revealed or released their new kits yet. We’re still 7 weeks away from the start of the season; I don’t think it’s particularly unusual or concerning.

They’ll be released in the next couple of weeks.

Of course a Football Club should do due diligence on any company they may be hand in hand with especially something as major as shirt sponsorship.

True but as HSBC were happy to loan them £30m as recently as this April according to press reports it’s unlikely any DD undertaken last summer would have thrown up a problem

Yes they should, but I don't think this a sponsorship you can suggest a lack of due diligence over. As a relatively young company in a volatile industry, they are obviously at risk of going pop but banks are happy to lend them significant money and Terry Leahy backed them.

There are a few signs that point to there being a potential wobble with our shirt sponsorship, and I think it's fair that a few of us are concerned about that.

Leahy is an avid Everton fan probably still reeling from those two defeats in the seventies and eighties and put his foot down.

I’m not too concerned about MyEnergi, friend of mine works for them and he says they’re flat out most of the time and it was the temps that haven’t been kept on. My main issue is with Macron, they seriously need to up their game / sort out their issues regarding getting supplies to clubs, otherwise clubs won’t be renewing their agreements.
