The 2015/16 kit speculation thread

[absenteebee]

Some other thread reminded me about this...

Anyone in the know care to share owt?

Stripes thicker or thinner?

Collars?

Round neck?

Unique or template?

Is this the away kit?

Any teaser campaigns lined up?

 

[Guildford Bee]

If the sponsor has to be stuck on please can it be "stencilled out". No more ugly white patches.

Good one... Although weren't we told adidas only 'stencil out' for massive teams like Chelsea... and Aldershot.

 

[cromerbee]

Has a shirt sponsor been announced for next year yet?

 

[aawharris]

Im led to believe the away shirt wont have yellow in it next season.
Thats all i know

 

[red_and_white]

I want to stay with the yellow and black away kits permanently.

 

[theraaaven]

as long it aint anything like the new sheff utd kit ...............................

 

[alexcavell]

Stripes on the back obviously a must for the home shirt!

I agree it's been a success and good to have some consistency. I'd welcome back the light/dark blue away kits too.

 

[absenteebee]

as long it aint anything like the new sheff utd kit ...............................

Pretty sure it won't be!

They're going for a different look for their 125th Anniversary... Also have a new/old badge which has been researched rather thoroughly.

 

[big neil]

Yellow away kit seems to bring success on the road, sooner or later we'll go for black & yellow hoops like proper bees.

 

[Invipai]

It's nothjng but lazy of Adidas to tell teams they have to have a white patch, or only one of x amount of templates. They have more resources than pretty much any other sports manufacturer yet they put in the least amount of effort (Nike I understand are similar in terms of templates etc).

And yes to Black and Yellow stripes again!

Works for me if we can't have the yellow and black stripes, my favourite away kit ever

Hoops?!?!?

 

[big neil]

Hoops?!?!?

Yep, not blue & white ones obviously...

 

[CTBee]

A big no to hoops from me.

We are getting a new sponsor aswell? Although I'd like us to go sponsor free

Matchbook?

Sky-ex deal ends this year iirc.

Expect "matchbook.com" to step in.

 

[Wise old Bee]

I would like a slightly paler shade of red stripe, but front and back. Possibly white socks.

:suspect: 1 Year rolling deal at £20Million a year......................

 

[Hullbee]

Maybe our pampered players would prefer Nike this season.... Oh I forgot their yes man Warbs is off so maybe back to puma or lonsdale

It was Rösler who wanted Adidas.

What you mean red and white stripes?

May I ask why?

An old traditionalists are you?

Maybe he doesn't want to walk around like an advertising billboard

Pretty sure I read something from MD several months ago that it wouldnt be a template kit

 

[Hullbee]

That's because the club badge came off easily allowing him to take his full kit with him when he left

 

[aawharris]

I tweeted MD and asked if it was going to be another "Stock" kit, he said it was going to be a bespoke kit.

 

[TW3Bee]

So it sounds like we have sent them our own design.

 

[homerbees]

It would be preferable if we had a 2 season shelf life with the kit. Not just because of the cost. But this season for example, both of our kits are decent and I don't want them changed..

I dont buy football shirts so it won't effect me, but a single season life span is b***ocks!

If they do, could they sponsor the club at whatever rate they wanted, thus allowing MB to stack money in without breaching FFP regs?

 

[hobbsy]

No, there are rules in place to prevent this. Man City got in trouble with all the money from Ethihad as it's owned by the same family.

Although that was UEFA FFP, I assume there is a similar rule in the FL / PL

 

[wanderer paul]

I think there's a limit as to the amount of money a sponsor/owner can inject into the football club via sponsorships. Including ground naming, roof advertising & shirt sponsorship. Matchbook.com already sponsor the back of the shirt anyway.

You missed a nought out. I've corrected it for you!

 

[absenteebee]

I'd laugh if after all this speculation it's just another local minicab firm.

 

[absenteebee]

... Like MB Taxis maybe?

Sadly, it won't happen. The days of keeping a kit for two seasons are long gone.

Frankie the Snitch's landscape gardening?

 

[hanworthbee]

I just think they look better

 

[jlove]

Has the club approached KLM?

 

[Sydney Bee]

Has the club approached KLM?

We should check with DHL first

 

[FJBee]

Echo sentiments around the black and yellow away kits, been a big success in my eyes, and would love to see them stick around

 

[jlove]

Has the club approached KLM?

For the away, yellow, kit but it would clash on the red and white, now it uses the Deutche Post yellow.

 

[Aussie Bee]

Does it really matter? They can play in purple away for all I care - red and white at home and sorted

 

[Mr Tree]

Sadly, it won't happen. The days of keeping a kit for two seasons are long gone.

i thought some rule had been introduced? (though i'm probably thinking of something 10-15 years back that's since been superceded!)

 

[Big Seb]

I'd like to see salmon pink and sky blue quarters with a red V (shoulder to waist) for the away kit to reflect our heritage in this anniversary year

 

[wanderer paul]

I don't believe the club ever used 'salmon pink' in their shirt colours. Claret and Blue, I'm led to believe, were the colours used.

 

[Kettering Bee]

I want to stay with the yellow and black away kits permanently.

Yep, c'mon you Hornets!

 

[wanderer paul]

Yep, c'mon you Hornets!

Maybe the club should be asking you, what the colours should be next season?! :yes:

Mr - "I don't have anything to wear!" - Kettering Bee!
