Reebok can still gtfo - A-League Kits Thread

Viva Le Jets

[q-money]

imagine getting a kit sponsor that provided merchandise that people actually wanted to purchase and wear, what a novel revenue stream that could be

[goaliepersempre]

At the very least I hope Joel got a quote off Adam

Fold the club ffs

I did not know that about Reebok. I used to buy Reeboks when they were made in England and Nike when they were US made - much better than the asian made shit of today which doesn't last and is more about fashion than purpose.

Make Kits Great Again

[pv4]

We did get to vote on the kit when E&C came in, remember.

True

Which further begs the question why we have gone away from e&c

Jobs for the boys.

worst thing is that usually the kit suppliers bid for the honour right?

if they were the highest paying supplier that is an embarrassment.

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.

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

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.

You genuinely cannot make this shit up

[Couscous]

Are we wearing emerald and cinnamon this year?

Do Ledman Group teams tend to wear the same colour (e.g. red, like most Chinese teams)?

[turbojetfireV8]

I'm anticipating we'll be wearing netball tops this year, anything more sophisticated than that will be a bonus, let alone choice of colours...

Play in skins.

Song Jin-hyung is off contract at the end of June.

Make the call Griffo and bring him back home to Newcastle.

On a side note, how much more polished were our old Reebok kits, classic simple football kit designs, signature colours helping create a unique "Jets" identity and Reebok at least had the ability to know what shades of colours work well without attempting to sear people's eyes!

Also bring him home Griff!

Blame the club, not the kit supplier, for going that ugly royal blue with the gold nowadays. The club are the ones whom demand it's the colours used in the logo

I remember we used to have a bloke on the foz who did better kit designs than anyone at the club or suppliers did. Wish he would come back and post some fresh Jets ones, maybe even a rebranding to fill the off season.
