The Kit deal with Macron runs out at the end of this season. Debbie alluded to some exciting news surrounding this……

Really hope that Hummel or Kappa are going to be up next!!!!

Hummel have had huge distribution problems. As nice as their kits look, I can't see us having them. Umbro are producing some very nice kits at the moment.

Kappa?!?!? Is it 1997?

And Hummel just give the same basic template kit to every team don’t they? Their isn’t much variety in their kits.

I doubt it will be Hummel as their kits have to come even further than Macron. Hummel make their bespoke kits in Lithuania and their general/teamwear stuff Turkey and Asia. The issues with supply have been largely down to the realities of post-Brexit transport between the EU and UK.

So expect a UK based supplier with a factory in this country.

Maybe someone like castone or hope and glory to keep the manufacturer british.

For me, personally I’d love adidas to be doing our kits again, although I doubt this. So maybe puma or new balance would be great 2nd choice if we have a non British company.

Am just pleased we don’t have to worry like with previous owners if the kits are going to be made by Temu

I went to Matalan last Thursday and they had some really nice beige chinos, 78% polyester too.
I'm sure they could be a possibility for suppliers

Nothing to do with Brexit transport, and more to do with material from Asia to Lithuania. No material not kit made. Not that a bubbles like you know's the difference.

If it’s not Adidas then Diadora or Lotto are the only logical choices.

I said it at the time we did well to use Errea.  Each to their own but unless you're a chav or a fat lad that cant run the length of the pitch, who on earth wants to walk round in Adidas 3 stripe
Errea


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Kappa are a complete disaster - very nice designs but appalling logistics and delivery.

Town would do better to have a UK supplier or go back to Errea who never let us down.

That’s alright. Some decent Umbro efforts in this season’s lineup (that Hearts away shirt is a thing of real beauty).

How much input do we have with the design? A lot of manufacturers have a set design so kits look the same. Can we ask for changes, like making numbers more visible for example?

I liked that one, sponsor aside. It reminds me of my early years watching football in the 90s, before the game went mad.

Carlisle United are with Umbro and their adult shirts are £45 (£1 less than Town).

….also, I was speaking to a Cherries fan not long ago and he said they have a limited number of sponsorless shirts for sale, and they sell like hot cakes. Not sure how MyEnergy would like that, but I do!

Probably because their main sponsor is a gambling company. I know they can’t add the sponsors on the children’s shirts so it may be some odd rule linked to that.

Funny you showed this shirt. The thing I don't like about the new one is the etch a sketch shoulders, notably lacking from the one above.

I really like plain shirts with minimal fussy patterns and frippery. But that's me.

Anybody old enough to remember the candy stripes in the late 60s ?  The image of Matt Tees wearing it is etched in my memory forever.
I think they looked smart and at the time they were unique in the league when all the kits were exactly the same.
