kingantti1874 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 No idea why we build up suspense around strips. It’s just annoying tbh rather than exciting. get them released and on the shelves as early as possible and maximise the holiday crowd. shove the teasers where the sun don’t shine.

Homme Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Even the quality difference between Joma and Macron is huge. Macron far superior.

Bob Loblaw Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 The Joma box could be anything. If we hadn't unveiled a new sponsor it'd be careless to just leave it out. Yes it could be a mistake and it's them, but equally it could be a bunch of training tops we buy in bulk for training camps or something. Pretty confident it will still be Umbro.

I know I'm a large in Adidas, Nike, and Umbro tops. They are always fairly similarly sized, and it's consistent throughout the years. With some pissy wee brand like Joma, it's a total crapshoot if it fits or not. Might be a large, might be an XL, might be bigger than that. Next year it might be different. It's a complete ballache. I really hope these turn out to be some daft cheap training shirts bought for some charity event or something else, and not a sign of things to come for next season.

Joma make first class quality strips : I know because my local team used them for years and one strip lasted two full seasons of full on play. Whether the commercially available stuff is made to the same standard is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixHearts Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 As far as manufacturers go, Joma is fine. Nothing special but not as bad as some suggest. Much worse tinpot brands around like Legea, Sondico, Craft, Castore etc. Joma makes bespoke designs for smaller clubs so that's a point in their favour. It's all moot though because we're almost certainly still Umbro. (Not ITK, just an educated guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their strips are attrocious and the stuff we've had has never lasted a single season. Probably the worst I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed. I really like the Umbro kits. Only thing that makes me think it’s a new sponsor is that we signed a 3 year extension with Umbro in November 2019, assuming the extension became active close season 19/20. That 3 years would take us to close season 22/23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
