SuperSAINT Posted 16 July, 2017 Share Posted 16 July, 2017 Virgin media now also our shirt sleeve sponsors - https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-07-16/virgin-media-southampton-shirt-sleeve-sponsorship Can we spend the money we get from that on a player, please?

Kenilworthy Posted 16 July, 2017 Share Posted 16 July, 2017 I did notice the kits against St Gallen were suspiciously lacking a left arm Prem badge even though they had the right arm one... It is nonsense that they expect to sell the logo as an add-on extra. It should come as an integral part of the replica shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 16 July, 2017 Author Share Posted 16 July, 2017 It is nonsense that they expect to sell the logo as an add-on extra. It should come as an integral part of the replica shirt. The NEXEN logo is part of Man City's. They're not charging any more for them anyway, it's the same cost as two Prem badges: "The Virgin Media sleeve badges will be available in the Stadium store and Westquay store when purchasing Premier League badges. Fans may choose either two Premier League badges or one Premier League badge and a Virgin Media logo for the same price of £6 (badges only), or £18 when purchased with a name and number. " Mind you, the only reason they've done that is because they've already sold a load of shirts with two Prem badges on. I'm amused that the second post on this thread mentions the sleeve sponsor thing yet it takes them 9 months to bother to tell the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluto Posted 16 July, 2017 Share Posted 16 July, 2017 Poor thats its the same sponsor, i would have expected a separate deal to maximise revenue. I also find it strange that sponsors are missing from shop training gear in recent seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't already know that you're on the wrong thread. See also any clothing with a brand on it and carrier bags when they used to give them away before the law change.

The9 Posted 16 July, 2017 Author Share Posted 16 July, 2017 (edited) Poor thats its the same sponsor, i would have expected a separate deal to maximise revenue. I also find it strange that sponsors are missing from shop training gear in recent seasons. We might have signed an exclusive deal which didn't allow for a second sponsor (it wasn't allowed when the deal was signed), and only been able to sell the space to Virgin Media. As for the training kit, they have to do something to make the player-worn stuff different from the replicas or you get nobheads selling it as authentic all over eBay...

Mowgli Posted 16 July, 2017 Share Posted 16 July, 2017 On an entirely different point, I thought the team shorts looked quite classy on the pitch yesterday. Definitely (thank goodness) a different cut to the replica shirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 16 July, 2017 Author Share Posted 16 July, 2017 (edited) Team shirts ... Yeah, last years were skintight, had a different pattern on the material and an extra panel under the arms. Haven't seen any decent pics of the new ones to see where the differences are for the new one yet. Actually pics 15 and 18 here seem to suggest a similar diagonal vent panel under the arms on the new matchworns too - there are a couple of seams that aren't on the replicas in the red bits around the armpit: https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-07-16/gallery-st-gallen-southampton-pre-season-friendly Edited 16 July, 2017 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfahaji Posted 19 July, 2017 Share Posted 19 July, 2017 Just seen Sunderland's new kit- hideous IMO. So glad we don't have thin stripes like that. Really? Don't get me wrong, I love our kit and wouldn't change it, but I really like Sunderland's too. Reminds me of our 2003 UEFA shirt which is one of my favourite Saints shirts.

Can't even be bothered to check if this season's Bournemouth third kit is based on an existing style or not.

Matthew Le God Posted 20 February, 2018 Share Posted 20 February, 2018 (edited) Can UA terminate the sponsorship contract because of our relegation？ If they have such a clause in the contract then yes. But no such details have ever been revealed and I struggle to recall an example of that happening with any other club. What is more likely to be in the contract is a reduction in the amount they pay if we go down. I don't see why relegation would mean they'd want to end the deal entirely, teams in lower leagues than the Championship get sports companies deals.

Pamplemousse Posted 20 February, 2018 Share Posted 20 February, 2018 They make Aston Villa's kits, so there's no reason for them to want to cancel. Probably there is a clause that they don't have to pay as much if we're relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenilworthy Posted 20 February, 2018 Share Posted 20 February, 2018 It might be that UA could pull out of football kits and reach an agreement to end the contract early. Saints are their flagship club in England at the moment and UA probably are not too happy with our current situation. We have seen contracts terminated early in the past - our deal with Admiral in 91 was meant to last 4 or 5 years and ended after two seasons.

Don't get me wrong, I like throwing together mock-ups of actual kits from actual rumours and information (I prefer the FC12 FM template, for the record, nice clean lines), I just cba with all the nonsense with "what would x's kit look like with y's branding on it?" because it's completely pointless. If it's an actual kit that might exist, I'm all for someone putting together a decent version of what it might look like. I did all the kit designing scribbles in school and painting Subbuteo teams too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
