Stifler Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Some Twitter ITK wannabe was saying he’s heard that it’s Lucid cars. It’s a decent shout as it happens as PIF have invested heavily in them and they are building a factory in Saudi Arabia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 They need to release the kit asap because I’m sick to the back teeth of people discussing this fucking shirt sponsor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't see the PIF wanting a gambling firm as the sponsor for another year. Just makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 If it’s still Fun88, then it’ll be a reminder, however small, of the Ashley era. Was hoping for a complete clean break from that cunt this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Poor Burnsie will have seen his arse if it's not Saudia. All of his personalities have verified it with one another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Depends what kind of patch it is like. I'd rank it: Embroided badge directly onto shirt > Embroided patch >>>>>>>> stick on badges of any kind With old shirts you can pretty much guarentee that rear lettering and sponsors are gonna deteriorate over the years - but at least you could bank on the brand and badge staying. Some of these new shirts with stick on club badges simply aren't worth buying imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: 3 kits released so far (Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City) and Brentford keeping the same kit from last season. But aye, big delay.

nbthree3 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Most the time we don't announce the new kit until July so we don't get the chance to do it last game of the season, we did over lockdown as that was tail end of July anyway. Last time I remember us doing that pre-Covid was 2015? The Jonas v West Ham game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but still seems to make no sense considering we don't get much money from sponsorship and the gambling laws (the sponsor showing on tv). Find out soon anyway.

I know players kits generally have it screen printed directly of some kind to lessen the weight etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find out soon anyway. They may not have been able to get out of the Fun88 deal. They can’t just pull out of the contract and if you were fun88 would u want to give up the sponsorship when the club is finally on the up and thousands of shirts will be sold. it could just be a case of we are stuck with fun88 till the contract runs out Edited May 31, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway we're all speculating as we don't know what's happening. Hopefully we will find out tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Its just a sponsor and its the most I've been teased in a post/pre season since the Andy Cole money was burning a hole in our pocket and nearly every forward in Europe was linked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
