No matter how hideous it looks, some people would still want to own exactly the same kit as what the players wear. Does anyone know if other clubs are selling shirts with the sleeve sponsorship already on, off or with a choice of either? My point being who in their right mind would have that on their sleeve if they had an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfoxkev Posted 14 July 2017 Share Posted 14 July 2017 Can't add much to all the other negative comments....It looks awful.....So what next in this pursuit of having our football kits becoming advertising hoardings...Maybe a local Bangkok brothel will sponsor our shorts with a message / logo on the ass of the shorts ..I will leave the design of this to those of you with more vivid imaginations??

They do nothing over and above what the rest of the Premier League clubs do on pricing, in fact we are the only fans who really get a bit back with free stuff at games. Look at Hull/Blackpool/Cardiff if you want to see a club where the owners don't care - why don't you try and drive our owners away and we might end up like that. You should be thanking our owners every day that we are in the position we are in. I take it you have 0 idea about business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have at least put it in a circle to match the Premier league badge. Thank f**k I got this season's home replica before they added that eyesore.

Also, pretty sure the money they make off the supporters is thanks enough. You are allowed to be grateful for the investment the Thais have made, the success it's brought, the contributions they've made to various good causes in Leicester etc AND still be allowed to criticise certain decisions they make you know.

rn9013 Posted 14 July 2017 Share Posted 14 July 2017 14 minutes ago, LittlethorpeFox said: My point was more referring to the fact that football shirts are mainly for kids. If a grown adult is doing anything more than shrugging their shoulders at a purple badge on a football kit then they need to get out more IMO I respect your opinion, but I disagree. Every guy (and some ladies) in my office own and wear their respective team kits to footy matches or to play footy in. I can assure you most of us get out on a fairly regular basis, so the idea that replica kits are mainly for kids is IMO not the case. In fact I would have every confidence in assuming that most clubs sell far more adult shirts than they do kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleolly Posted 14 July 2017 Share Posted 14 July 2017 It's all a major conspiracy I bet puma genesis had no idea that there was going to be a sleeve sponsor, I've just been to the club shop and the kits now have visit Thailand on the back of the shirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i am getting at is the outcry, as normal with LCFC fans, has been way over the top and petty.

lgfualol Posted 14 July 2017 Share Posted 14 July 2017 Can't get over what they've done to that nice shirt. That sponsor is going to bother me every time I see it. Something just seems a bit off about this whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about taking it out of context, stop getting so emotional. This isn't about the teams performances and to my knowledge Susan Whelan, Top or Vichai were not in any of the starting eleven during the previous 3 seasons. I am talking about the business side of things. When the owners arrived they kept promoting the club as a real fans club, now we have made the transition from a fans club into a corporation where gate receipts and shirts sales have minimal impact on the clubs finances as all the money comes from TV revenue and international advertising. My opinions were not purely about the shirt/patch, just another example how the club do not regard fans opinions on such matters, simply told like it or lump it.

My 9yo has turned to the dark side & supports mcfc (to be fair he was born up here & the in-laws r all man city fans!!) But i went on their website to get him the new home shirt & you get to choose if u want the sponsor/prem league badge or both. They even give u a chance to have a nice manchester worker bee for the manchester bombing charity!! I bloody love that black kit & was gonna pick one up when i next came down but not now! Ruins the whole look of the kit in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a tad harsh. He's the supporter liaison officer, he doesn't have the power to choose a sponsor that goes well with the kit or to create an option without. That would be well above his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
