Should we be worried that it's mid May and we don't have any word on a new kit, or sponsor (kit and stadium).
In recent times, we've had a new kit used on the last day of the season.
Anyone know if we're sticking with Adidas or going elsewhere?
I appreciate there are more crucial talking points, but this is surely a talking point nonetheless.

After the vote to pick the away shirt it would be strange not to go with the "fans choice" and stay with Adidas.

The Scottish football season hasn't even finished yet? I guess the club can't tell us any news if there isn't any. Away kit is the Barca style one so we already know about that. Home kit will just be some form of Adidas amber/yellow get-up. |

Oh no! Is there a doubt about the new Barcelona away strip now? What next?

false maths...
It is a false assumption that buying the new kit as soon as possible is good for the club.
It could be of greater benefit to wait a year, and i will tell you why.
The cost of a new shirt is not equally distributed. The couple of pounds manufacturing cost incurred in the Far East is often marked up by by a factor of ten by the time it reaches retail.
Of this the clubs are likely to see only a few pound at best. The rest is profit for the middle men and agents etc.
Now if the same fan was to wait a year to buy the shirt, they normally enjoy up to a 50% discount. What I have done is send the difference to where it can benefit the club.
Obviously if the sponsors wised up too much they may wish to reduce the amount they pay, I would counter that they are paying for a years exposure but are getting 2, the year the players wear it and the follwing year when the fans do, so we should charge them double....
