Don't know that but the share price in NY is down 96% in a year.
Must be more worrying for big Premiership football clubs than us.

I believe they have!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Block chain hype. Someone probably made a bunch of money and lives in a tax haven.

Iqoniq didn't even have their app finished at the end of the season. Still can't download it from the App Store.

Why we would sign a contract with a sponsor that has no product is yet another howler from King Kris. We're not alone though... at least half of Super League teams fell for their charms. Don't think Loch Lomond / alcohol brands are allowed.

I be surprised if the shirt would be anything other than the traditional hoops for the anniversary. Mind you, the club seem to think they know what the supporters want. :D

Its not about the product, its about the money. If they paid then I have no issue with the fact they have no app. Who cares.

I thought the Hummel 2020 home shirt was a smart design and this seasons home shirt was striking (although very different).

Surprising about Iqoniq, seemed to have sponsorship with 90% of SL clubs this season (which I thought was a little bizzare).

As for 2022 kits, surely tradition has to be the focus. Taking a modern approach and looking at recent kits produced, if Hummel designed something similar to the Errea 2016 collection (all 4), i think it will turn out fine.

You'd think so wouldn't you?

Given the training kit I expect tradition won't extend to the traditional coat of arms badge. I'd be very pleasantly surprised if it did but I suspects Rads to too wedded to the whole rebranding thing to revert.

I don't often buy a team shirt but as it's the 150th anniversary I'd quite like to buy one but then the Costa Coffee badge would put me off.

I wonder which idiot decided to change the badge just before the 150th anniversary? Had they kept the old badge a bit longer they could have used it on the anniversary shirt and then if they really wanted a rebranding exercise started with that the season after the 150th anniversary. It even makes sense marketing wise as it could be branded a new era starting after 150 years etc. By changing the badge just before the 150th anniversary season they risk putting people off if it's stuck on a supposedly traditional shirt. Hard to market tradition if it's not traditional. Lets hope the coat of arms makes a return for next season but I have my doubts it will.

Good post Dave 😊 I don’t think the new badge would have looked as bad as it does if it was Cherry, white or even black! But the colour that it is, is, as you say, Costa Coffee colours 🤨

I'm still not bothered by the change of logo. Looks nice and clean to me.
