Say what you will, but I think the kit looks beautiful. It's a nicer version of the 08/09 kit which was lovely in it's own right. KoS fits well on the shirt too.

If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Each to their own. I liked the one before it with Big Cyrille in the shop window of every William Hill's around the country.

Love it , looks better in person

Doesn't necessarily mean the revenue has to be £1/2m can go up to £10m without having to report a P&L.

it was under £3m in tbe last fully declared accounts

It's those stupid white bingo wings

Cool, really doesn't have anything to do with the conversation which was people saying the stated turnover seemed too low but thanks for your input.

Well it does as you said the evidence was estimated well it’s accurate looking at companies house

He's recently had deals with Waitrose and John Lewis

Are we in an episode of Dragons Den?

8 years ago to be fair.

My first reaction when seeing this was that I thought it looked pretty nice. Then again, I really didn't like the kit from last season, but it seemed like a lot of people were raving about it. I guess we're impossible to please!

Skimming through some of the older filings on Companies House it looks like back around 2013 they were turning over 5-10 million but making a loss and reading between the lines that has dropped off further.

It’s hardly likely to have grown much since then - they’ve been selling to the John Lewis group for a few years now

Think you are likely right. Looking at receivables its double what they are in the current year. Would suggest a figure aroud £2m is accurate.

I think the King brother’s could shit on some of our fans doorsteps and they’d just say ‘thank you for the fertiliser Mr King sir’

 

[alexccfc99]

Sponsor stinks of Doug sorting his brother out or an FFP fiddle I can’t lie - shirt is nice tho

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Best thing Doug can do now is announce a signing so we can all forget about the kit lol.

 

[clint van damme]

Oh no a few fell in to my basket and I clicked order... such a shame

Shirts or razors?

Its yet more genius planning from DK and Robins ....... planning for the lazy git trend of wearing beards & mo's to die down (any day surely) and we'll be ready to pounce and fund the club with wealth of (approx. eleventy billion) riches. I'm off to by some KoS stuff right now!

 

[Robinshio]

king of shaves are a similar size to the Tallon type sponsorships we used to have in the old division 1
They would not be paying more than £100k max

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

Despite preferring all Sky Blue kits I like this one.

 

[theferret]

The sponsorship issue aside, I really don't like that at all. Lots will love it though and I'm sure it will sell well.

 

[TomRad85]

Serious question... does anyone know what the rough amount is for a front of shirt sponsor for a Championship club? Using generic, middling clubs like say Swansea and Hull as an example? Genuinely no idea what you're supposed to be getting for this kind of thing.

 

[torchomatic]

@torchomatic Won't be happy...

I'm not. Rubbish.

 

[coop]

We get KOS Wrexham get united airlines probably done it for free

 

[slyblue57]

Quite like it, need to see it close up, would like it alot more if Hamer was wearing it

Absolutely no idea and no evidence but I would think maybe a couple of hundred grand? I’d imagine plenty in the championship are a lot less than that and in the 10s. Most aren’t huge businesses, a lot are from the area and SMEs.

Saw something that says the average for a Championship team is around £500,000 a season.

It's one of those things that's rarely stated. Such and such company has agreed a new shirt sponsorship deal for x years. The club is delighted and so are they blah blah

 

[theferret]

It's all income to the club and we need as much of that as we can get

I don't think we've maximised income from that main shirt sponsor tbh.

Besides, plastering it with multiple sponsors will turn people off from buying it, so would be a false economy. People would just buy retro shirt remakes from 3rd party retailers in even greater numbers. I like to think that we won't see any further relaxing of the rules on shirt sponsorship beyond where we are now.

Don’t you dare!!! My F5 key is already in pieces.

As you say, rarely any info on it but looks like I might have been way off.

That might be offset by how many betting company sponsorships there are though. Outside of Betting Companies it’s midsized businesses who aren’t going to have huge marketing budgets.

 

[Speedie's Head]

Taken together they have the back, sleeve and shirt front sponsors they're possibly not doing too badly compared to last year I'd guess. And we're shot of Boyle.

I worked for a company a few years ago that was quoted £500k for a Championship side. We ended up going for a small League One side at £100k.

 

[RegiswasGod]

I hated this one

My favourite shirt!

I guess there's ground advertising within those figures too that we don't get not owning the stadium.
