As a James College Alumni, I approve.

Alumnus. Didn't study Latin, I note.

Your assumption is correct. I studied more useful subjects.

Suggested/rumoured this is the new Manchester City shirt for next season

Absolute village.

It's boring seeing other teams announcing their
new kits and we always have to wait ages

Guess Adidas used Man United's leftovers from last season.

Our stripes appear to have black in them.

West Ham new kit

I did like the black and orange kit we wore on a couple of occasions.

New West Ham away shirt (mighty fine anyway) is available with or without sponsor.

Good for casual wear too.

10/10.

Agreed - I could see that as being a massive hit with Hammers' fans.

The long-sleeved variant is also very nice indeed.

They must have cut Betway a massive deal to be able to offer the shirt without the sponsor. I really wish we had Umbro...

Aye. Think it's a law which says betting companies can't be promoted on youth shirts, but this is a surprise. Overcomes religious as well as ethical concerns.

It's an interesting one. Does the sponsor get involved more because of the high-level exposure (TV, print coverage, official club merch) or the lower-level stuff (kids in the park, fans in the crowd)? I'm guessing it's predominantly the former, so might not be that much of an issue...

bit of a tangent, but I wonder about the value of some of these advertising deals.

How many people see 'Visit Rwanda' on the sleeve of an Arsenal shirt, and think "Oh. That's a great idea." and head straight for the travel agent?

More than you'd think, evidently: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/...articles/rwanda-increase-uk-visitors-arsenal/

It will generate them a lot of goodwill from West Ham fans, pleased that they have permitted this to happen.

Additionally, given how unusual sponsor-less shirts are, Betway may well receive more publicity this way than they would by being on the shirt, in the way we are talking about it right now!
