Reebok can still gtfo - A-League Kits Thread

[Jeterpool]

yet we had E&C last season....

And we had black and white two seasons before. It's a change.

As wolfman said - kits were decided before Tinkler was sent packing. Club have said on numerous occasions members will get to vote on next years. We'll be holding them to that

[Jeterpool]

I am aware that has been said in the past by the FFA Overlords but lets face facts it is a cop out and full of complete shit and just used to fob the fans off.

They used that excuse 4 months ago.


How long does it seriously take to organise a kit???

If they can't get a kit designed and done within 4 months then they need to have a serious look at the organisation they are dealing with cause it ain't rocket science

We saw them at the Members Committee meeting back in maybe March or April which was when they had to be submitted to BLK so production could be started so we didn't have an E&C V1 debacle like a few Christmas' ago.

[Jeterpool]

Don't care who makes the kits, just score goals and win football games and .....get Pico to design the ****ing things

Yep. Agree. It's been mentioned on here and the Sub-committee keep pushing to have a fan designed kit.

The club are open to this.

[northern_swan]

Move away from BLK and we'd have a better set of templates to choose from

The whole concept of sublimated shirt design is the fact that you don't need to conform to a template.

[Jeterpool]

Can anyone recall such a hype and launch around a season's playing strip as we have seen this year? I don't recall as much hype and build up personally.

Great to see another major sponsor for the club. Again, this is the best position in terms of sponsors on board we have ever had.

Now we need to deliver on the field, as others have said

Not just another sponsor, another sponsor firmly in the Newcastle community albeit with a now national presence. FFA making good on its promise to strength community ties. Just have to hope whoever comes in to take the reigns continues that.

When I lived in the UK I recall with Cardiff City they said when they decided to change to Adidas it was a 12 month process in getting the kits, designed, agreed, developed, approved and manufactured ready for sale in the club store. And that is with a much bigger company than BLK and Cardiff City are a much bigger club than the Jets so I think your 4 months rant may be a bit over the top.

CQP and Hunter Ports have disappeared too.

And it's just occurred to me, that these two shirt sponsors nearly take us back to the BHP Newcastle Breakers days!

We are now the BHIP Newcastle United Jets.

[The Dunster]

Like FFS You going out on the town trying to look good you don't where pants the same colour as your shirt do you???

That's a recipe for failure. It's never about looking good it's about convincing the women you don't give a shit.

If looking good was part of the equation I'd still be looking for my first root.

Third kits in this league?

Any other logic?

besides "selling more shirts"

Shitty kits.
Shitty players.

There was something that had been bugging me all afternoon about this picture and I couldn't work out what it was. Now realised that the problem I first thought of isn't it.

That first problem was that Labinot has his shirt on which mean he hasn't scored.
More off putting though is Enver looking normal with his shirt untucked.

Okay the kits are new and refreshing, white it a bit uninspiring for an away kit but it has a good style about it with the trim. The gold for me is a bit of a let down as it just looks a dull gold (maybe it was the lighting) as compared to the gold from the first 6 seasons which seemed to have a bit of glitter to it.
Anyway it is what it is, they are the colours the team is wearing for this season, for me the bigger priority is the players underneath those shirts. Will they play with pride and passion for the club...for the fans...for the shirt?

The lighting isn't great for the gold

[stopper2]

The lighting isn't great for the gold

Yes, saw the segment of the launch on NBN and the gold strip actually looked better then it does on the pictures from the website/internet.
I always thought that back when we were wearing gold that it looked better at night under lights then in daylight.

Im a massive fan of the away kit. Ive always been a fan of teams having a majority white strip as either an away or alternative kit. really impressed that a few of the aleague clubs have it as an option this year and that a number have a third option. finally we might actually have a season without colour clashes.

Big fan of the blue and white kits
Im not very impressed with the gold kit tho. looks a bit bland.

Between the Name, Number, 2nd Sponsor and the little 'Jets' above the Names.

Nice problem to have, sponsors on a jersey!

Without sponsors or name and number they'd look pretty clean, but you're right the "jets" up the top crowds things on a fully replicated kit.

No one complained about this last year when our away kit was green even though we never clashed... why now?

I think more often than not in the 10 years of the A-League the away team has worn an away kit rather than their home one which doesnt clash either.

Plus opportunity to sell more shirts... pretty logical really!

Some people just need to complain. Simple as that really. They can't complain about the result we got so they need to find something else

I'll be honest, i whinge about it often. Not necessarily on the forum though. Mind you, it's not a massive issue at the end of the day. I do get over it pretty quickly.

Biggest mistake of the 15/16 kits is the one whole solid colour in every design.

Put the current white jersey with the gold shorts and white socks and you have a winner.

Not quite sure why I bothered, but responded to one of those BLK emails re 'Christmas in July' or whatever, bought about $200 worth of Jets gear 26 July before the sale ended (wanted a couple small jerseys for the little nephews, jacket for one of the older ones, hoodie for myself etc), got the PayPal confirmation email and confirmation email from BLK, all good. However, noticed a week later nothing came off my card or out of my account, so went into PayPal, no order there anymore - BLK site still shows the order, but I suspect those assholes have deleted it through PayPal because of the previous disputes I've had with them not delivering goods order - when the f'uck are we getting rid of those khunts??? how f'ucking useless are they :soapbox:

[GazFish35]

Contact the club.

Kit suppliers are an issue we've raised at the sub committee meetings.

This type of feedback is needed.

I struggle with pretty much every kit that isn't symmetrical.

I also really struggle with the whole idea of the gradient in that City kit.

[Roundball Enthusiast]

No confirmation yet, but I think you can lock in the front of shirt sponsorship going to a Chinese company. Doesnt mean Beechwood is gone necessarily, they can always sponsor a different part of the kit.

BLK wouldn't be dictating the colour combo, they couldn't care less what shades of blue or red or green or purple, this falls director at the club's feet, they keep on giving the kits the go ahead, are they all blind or something? Not sure why I'm surprised these days looking at the kits we have had recently they have been average at best.

If Lee was smart he'd bring back easily the greatest kit combo we have had with an emerald and cinnamon third kit.

So much for having a fan designed kit too, that disappeared quicker than our new found owners stability and ambition.

It's not like it's that hard either, use a couple of nice contrasting colours, hell the away kit would probably look good with dark navy shorts, white socks with gold lettering and switching the side panels to a crimson red and the top blue to navy to match the shorts, would make the gold pop a lot more than having the royal blue... but that's just my opinion

Best kit ever. No if or buts.

[turbojetfireV8]

def our best ever home strip, not 100% sure on the away strip, was good but I kinda thought it looked a bit like a polo or tee being so dominant navy blue, can't recall I ever actually bought one (def had two of the home strips, probably hiding in a draw somewhere these days)

Why would we design that and wear it (just in general its terrible) against Sydney, have the decision makers never seen the types of kits and colours sydney typically have.

Ugghhh you can pay tribute to an organisation without having to simply copy and past, for example you could look to utilise the various crests and insignias for the squadrons and use those designs, you could incorporate a unique design that lists all active personnel, you could do so many interesting things that could be meaningful, especially if you don't intend on selling large volumes of the kit. But yet again this club take the easy way out, I'm surprised they don't just forfeit every week.

Ideal is Umbro, hnnnng, but I doubt we'll be so lucky. I'm fully expecting something uninspiring.

or Kmart supply them from their value range, $10 a shirt... isn't Puma Shitney's supplier? do we seriously want to be in their shadow wearing an uninspired kit like they have???

I love it!
I know its part of our club but im not a huge fan of the gold, purely aesthetically that is.
So maybe just some kind of gold trim on this kit would. Maybe just gold numbers.

Holy shit that looks nice.

For those saying it needs gold. Could give it a gold trim on the sleeves, or between the red/blue but I think this is great. A good way to slowly migrate away from hardcore red/blue stripes of the Knights/Tinkler and into something of our own.

[OmeletteDuFromage]

Tried a few variations based on the comments.

Also altered the A-League logo position, cause they later announced it will still stay on the front.

How about gold running from under the arm pits down? instead of trimmings on the neck/sleeve?

P.S is this a tool, or are you just really good with photo editing? I'd be keen to try a few :P

[Hunter403]

Like option 3 (except for the central vertical stripe.

Dark blue like the old shirts not "Knight's Blue".

I still prefer the gold and the cinnamon/emerald as home and away strips. The less of a reminder of the Tinkler era the better

I would have expected an announcement on the new kit supplier by now. Perhaps the big announcement will be kept wraps until a new kit is revealed?

[MonkeyKplunk]

Considering BLK are still banging about, and even selling current kits, I'd be surprised if they announced a new supplier before season end.

[OmeletteDuFromage]

Wonder if we'll hear something soon. Would love umbro.

Also, my memory is foggy, but when Lee first bought the club, didnt he say this off-season would be the one where theyd look at design changes, like logo etc?

When Shenzhen Ledman (sp) came out and I saw them at Speers Point ground training, they were wearing either Adidas or Nike gear. Just chuck us in some of that if need be.

Far out, and they're going to get some random to design up some kits and probably get the lady at the front office to pick between two options and it be a total fxxxing disaster of a design too.

Why can't they just consult with the membership base on kits, just once.

Confirmed in the herald. Apparently John Kosmina is the National Sales manager.

Again, we have gone with an unknown brand. Hopefully we have made the right decision in regards to this.

But it would have been nice to have had a known brand.

who buys this shit hahaha ffs

what a bargain basement operation these jokers are

The whole league went with Reebok for those first couple of years.

Adidas bought out Reebok in 2006 and then clubs were given freedom to find alternatives. Some "stayed" with Adidas/Reebok, others found deals elsewhere.

Lawrie talks all about the process and bidders on Jetstream pod. Was all set to sign with an unknown Chinese kit supplier. All about the cash by the sounds of it.

http://www.theherald.com.au/story/4701184/jets-change-kit-supplier/?cs=306

The section on sponsorship though is even more worrying:

LOOKING FOR SPONSORS
Meanwhile, Jets chief executive Lawrie McKinna said the club was struggling to attract major sponsors, partly because Chinese owner Martin Lee was perceived as someone who could afford to bankroll the team on his own.
“That’s a bit of it, yes,” McKinna told the Newcastle Herald. “Exactly that, which is really unusual because this is when we need people to help so we’re not just relying on a rich owner to keep propping up the club.
“You’ve got some people who might go, ‘Oh, Martin’s there, we don’t need to get involved with the club, but that’s not how it works.’”
The Herald reported last week that Lee had lost about $3 million on the club in his first year as owner, bringing his total outlay to more than $8 million after paying the FFA about $5.5 million for the franchise 12 months ago.
“The more successful we are on the field, the more members, the more people through the gates, and then when we start selling a couple of players, then all of a sudden quite quickly you can actually cut that loss down and then get it to a sustainable loss where you hopefully break even,” McKinna said.
“He’s never wanted to make money. His long-term goal is to break even. His long-term goal is to build up the team, spend more money on the team, make the team competitive, but it’s not to make money.
“It’s to break even and build up his football business around the world.”
McKinna said an expected funding increase from the FFA this year would make little difference to the club’s bottom line as the salary cap would also rise.
