New shirt next season

[The Large One]

We've had a white away shirt before im sure.

For example...

We've had a white away shirt before im sure.

I know we had one at Palace, but that was a one off

One things for certain , a multi million £ shirt sponsorship deal for next season.

This is where we'll see some of Barber's benefits.
Didn't he manage to get something like 25 new corporate deals for the Vancouver Whitecaps in the 2 years he was there?

we have.

That is listed on Toffs as being an away shirt in the 70s, but we had white home shirts for a couple of seasons in that decade.
Not saying that was a home shirt though (collar is different).
It just slightly defeats the object in having an away shirt in one of the same colours as the home one.

Luminous orange like Bogdan's kit?

NO! We'd look like a bunch of stewards

The art to good away kit design is to retain the club's identity as much as possible by not deviating away from the club colours. Obviously if handled badly the away kit ends up looking too similar to the home kit and becomes unusable ie. our INTER MILAN kit of the 90's. But if done properly you can build tremendous awareness and recognition, ie. England - distinctive for both red and white shirts. Argentina - blue and white stripes for home, and navy blue away.

But the club can use any colour as an away shirt as the badge is an identity.

For example...

I Can think of 4 white away shirts we've had (2 were one offs), and of course we had an all white Admiral home kit in the mid 70s.

i'd like amex to be our shirt sponsors as well, like emirates do with arsenal....alternatively do amex have any cool subsidiary companies that could be our sponsor?

Unfortunately not. That can only be seen from close up, so has no benefit to the overall effect in media/ tv usage etc.

Would that be the Engand that currently have a navy blue away kit?

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Correct, they are 100% pure fantasy. Pretty certain we are with Errea for the foreseable future. As for Amex on the shirts, I don't think that will happen. Amex have their name all over the stadium, more likely to be a different nationwide/global brand, although I doubt they will be paying 5 x what we get at the moment, unless we are in the Premier League.

I did overhear someone connected with Amex say something along the lines of them being our shirt sponsor next year, so wouldn't rule it out...

A mere blimp and stupid decision - it will replaced with a Nike shirt in the new year.

Today, for the purposes of the media, it's mostly the advent of shirt sponsorship which gives a kit its identity.

For the supporters, a club's identity will have as its starting point the traditional colours of the home kit and the badge. The away kit's sporting purpose is to looking nothing like the home kit, while retaining its one piece of identity - its crest or badge.

Great playground use of caps too.

*blip

 

[Official Old Man]

Seems that overall these shirts are a winner. I love 'em. Regarding the AMEX and American Express getting their name across worldwide. I had to watch the Leeds game in Cuba (bad holiday timing) and the commentator kept calling it 'Falmer' and never mentioned AMEX. Arsenal and Emerites come to mind as a joint shirt & ground sponsor.

Clearly won't be for so many reasons........ but......... LUSH!!!

I disagree, but we tend to on most things so no worries there.

Didn't like the CAPS eh - you need to get a sense of humour.
