Stifler Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 That is the one! But with it being Nike will a computer whizz kid have to try and re-create that jersey and put on the coat of arms and the Logo to send to Virgo etc etc I should imagine Nike would have a system in place where sponsors and logo's can be added ontop of them and a bulk buy price guide aswell for any local teams wishing to use that shirt and possible sell on to fans.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 If this falls through, we should make NOFC ones for our games! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah so have we moved away from the Virgo idea now? No, but people keep saying the teamkit idea is a good one. The problem being that there is no way a bulk order of Nike shirts is going to be as cheap as the Vigo ones could be. Also, it's not like there is any chance of Nike being involved, the Vigo idea is just so much more likely to be a success because they'd be an active partner in the whole thing. I don't even have any involvement, but this seems pretty obvious to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah so have we moved away from the Virgo idea now? No but this template seems to a popular design so Kaizero is finding out if this would be a viable option, if not then it looks like we will stick to the Virgo plan, if we are given permission from the SBR Foundation.

Guest WashyGeordie Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 A quick mock-up, but something like this? http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9428/sbrf.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Really like that. The sponsor logo isn't great but the Town Crest fits nicely and goes with the red nike tick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sponsor logo isn't great but the Town Crest fits nicely and goes with the red nike tick Aye, the proper sponsor will have to be similar to: http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/images/product/large/NewcatlseUtdHSS0304.gif Unless it's a box, or the SBRF make their own design of a sponsor for the shirt.

nobby_solano Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8360/adidasbobby.jpg had a quick bash at an adidas one, can't help of think that the town crest reminds me of the old fulham badge for some reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I know what you mean. But it doesn't matter really cos SBR did play there The more i see the town crest on the shirt the more i prefer it to our badge! Still love our crest though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 The mock-up from TU is pretty impressive- one or two tweaks and we're there. Now this may sound slightly ambitious/running before we can walk, but how about every shirt has a red no.9 on the back of it? Its certainly a symbolic number to NUFC which carries a lot of pride and heritage to it as we all know. It might be a step too far and collide with the 'keeping it simple' option (which I agree with) but I think it should be something to keep in mind...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 A quick mock-up, but something like this? http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9428/sbrf.png Aye great shout. Definitely something classic with a Newcastle logo on more than the football club logo, town crest is perfect. SBR foundation should also be right across the middle like that. Definitely no shirt manufacturer though! I'd pay £25 for that in a heartbeat! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the old fashioned tops used to look like. No name just a number. It looks really good on my 60's TOFF's shirt. Can't find a link with the number though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 SBR foundation has gotten back to me now, and their first answer is not a good one as they say they're not really keen on commercial projects at this time. But they would like to discuss the matter in even further detail before their final decision and there'll be discussed a commercial participators agreement just in case. I'll give you all further detail on everything as soon as there's a final decision. Though at the moment it's not looking too good, but there's still hope.

OzzieMandias Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'll be very surprised if the foundation go for it, and the more the product looks like a replica shirt, the more likely the project is to run into trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Fu** sake. What are the plans to persuade them then? Detailed sales plan. More in-depth analysis of the market. More in-depth description of the project, the thought behind it, why it's being done and more along those lines as I think it's mostly that they fear it may be seen as anti-ashley/current Newcastle regime that's keeping them off, which is fair enough as I understand them not wanting any trouble with the club. And even with this not being an anti-anything shirt, it could still be seen as one by the club. We'll be talking more though, I'll remain positive as long as there's not a definite "no" out there.

Stifler Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Fuck, how can they say no to a donation? I don't even think you asked them for funds for the initial start up either. Can you not get back in touch with them and try to stress that this is for the foundations interest, it has no commercial/private profits and such?

It's about them endorsing the project and their logo being displayed on the shirt, which would be pivotal to "sell the idea" to anyone considering one.
