JAMMY1980 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Won't be Adidas, won't be Warrior/New Balance. The shirt sponsor will be more interesting than who makes the strips. It's our best chance in years to maximise revenue from this and will be fascinating to see what kind of firm we can attract (plus for what money). How do you know it won't be Adidas/warrior/new balance?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 How do you know it won't be Adidas/warrior/new balance?? The new celtic strip is new balance, maybe suggests a move into Scottish football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Given that this years kit met with universal approval the only way is down for the next kit supplier. Added to that there will be the return of a sponsor so more angst will show from amongst the support. Will the shade meet the exacting standards set by the fans as they seem to have their heart set on this particular shade of Maroon ? Can the sponsor adapt their logo etc to fit into the colour scheme ? Will the money received for sponsorship of the strip and from the kit supplier itself meet with approval ? Will the extras such as T shirts, jackets etc meet with approval ? A tough sell from the new supplier and sponsor awaits methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been stock shortages/issues with Adidas all along have there not? Can't say I get that bothered about who makes the strips, they change too regularly to get attached!

Wolfstar Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Mind our third kit next season will be a very big seller, who won't buy a kit with the family name on it? Could be 6,000 sales on the third kit alone. I also think as the home top will revert back to our usual badge then the actual kit may not change too much, it really depends on the sponsor plastered over the front , if it is like the wonga logo that must put people buying the top.

hmfcdoug Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Errea They specialize in the kits that the new 3rd kit for next season will be like (FoH names woven into strip) and have tried for the Hearts contract before Adidas got it. Also makes more money for the club as I believe the way the kit deal is structured with Errea means clubs make a higher margin on gear sold. Errea gear has come on leaps and bounds since last time we had them, they do some really good stuff now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanjo Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Apologies if already posted but this http://www.soccerbox.com/99720 is a really nice shirt, and reminds me of the home top of 1986/87 (minus the blue stripe and the Corona sign!). 1986/87 top, for posterity http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/en/teams/h/heart-of-midlothian/old-heart-of-midlothian-football-shirt-s9047.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollo Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I think in order to maximise sales (and I know its pressure on parents etc etc, but we need to continue to make money, and I know it depends on the club getting enough in!): Home shirt - minimal branding, basic, plain, darker maroon, white collar and cuffs. No flashes, nothing gimmicky, no surprises. Away - give fans the vote on some old and new away designs. Reverse of home, candy stripe, inter style, and some new designs 3rd - already done, to include fans names I just think it will ensure maximum sales across all shirts, like I say IF we can keep up with demand.

I do know that Carbrini are owned outright by... Sports Direct There are quite often licensing deals and the like and although this particular one is fairly unusual, it may be the case that SD had the rights to take half a Fila contract or something similar and used it to increase brand awareness. Or maybe someone even sold half their kit deal to raise cash. This season's Hibs kit deal is with Just Sport who license Nike Teamwear stuff. However, some of Hibs' training kit is branded Avec, which is wholly owned by Just Sport. I haven't cleared up much, I know- politics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of this statement is that whilst on the whole you are completely correct, the annual 'kit design' threads are absolutely brilliant with classics designed everytime. With the exception of this season, most of the kits you see designed on here are far better than anything the club come up with. Will be sad to see adidas kits go, is great to see HMFC wearing kits from my favourite sportswear make and think they have all been class. But if the club gets more cash, then fair enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterion Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Go down the Southampton route and make them ourselves. No branding. Did Rangers not do this in the past to good effect?

I think the point is that NB are dropping the warrior brand, as it is a terrible brand. As long as it's nothing scaffy like carbrini, that should be the main consideration.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Liverpool might be Warrior's biggest name, but despite the poor efforts for them they've made decent kits for Stoke, Porto and Sevilla. A kit similar to a few of those and we'd probably be on to a winner. This season's kit is the best we've had, so like others have said we'll likely be disappointed when comparing the new one to the current one. Most of our kits in recent years have been pretty good, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
