New Kit Thread - slag off what you want in here

[Jabbawolf]

There's probably some "brand" collateral to think about. I can't imagine anyone was happy with our away kit

Alan liked it....but he also has a man-bun.

Does he? This is new news to me

That.....that explains a lot

According to this, 'long term' deal worth £1m per season compared to £3m from Adidas, agreement reached to break the Adidas deal early. Their deal with Newcastle will be £5m per year. Huh?

That makes absolutely no sense at all if it's true. Surely that's wrong.

The only thing I can think of is that Fosun want to do something different with the leisure side of things as seems to suggest that Castore would be responsible for playing and training kit only. Otherwise it does seem an odd deal yes

That would be my thoughts as well. Adidas tend to take all proceedings from the sale of kit and give the club a royalty on numbers sold. I wonder if this deal is on more favourable commercial terms.

 

[Kenny]

This is the key part "Castore deal is only for the kit supply contract and does not include wider retail rights."

Fosun want a proper cut from the shirt sales rather than a lump sum and then a few £ per shirt.
Example would be if Wolves did what Troy Deeney said today and signed Ronaldo and they sold a crap load of shirts, Adidas would make more than Wolves. Flip it to a deal where Wolves control the retail rights, and the club would be better off (still wouldn't make as much money as people think from selling kits though)

 

[Norman Deeley]

Think this is one where I trust Fosun to have done the numbers.

Some days it's just easier to tie it back than brush it out of my face constantly.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Gets me off the hook for wearing an Alice band anyway.

 

[Alan]

If I had the time/skill, I'd braid it. As it is, I have to wait to find a lady friend who can put up with a guy who paints his nails and wants to braid his hair.

I'm not keeping my hopes up.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

I wish I could wear an alice band

I’m only jealous due a (very) wide parting!

 

[Jabbawolf]

Gets me off the hook for wearing an Alice band anyway.

That, sir, is inexcusable...

 

[Alan]

No harm done, I knew what I was inviting. You don’t wear painted nails and a bun as a guy in Florida without expecting some raised eyebrows (and more than few random passers by calling me the f word).

 

[Tony Towner]

Floridian?

 

[Alan]

Almost that bad.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That, sir, is inexcusable...

It's laziness, not doing my hair properly when it's long. But I'm banned from wearing them now, you can rest easy.

 

[Alan]

So... what's an alice band?
