Title: Do we have a new shirt sponsor this season
Post by: Ged on July 05, 2015, 12:01:34 PM
Any news on a sponsorship for this season or is it all being kept secret until signed
Hope it's Fullers London Pride myself

Well in the early pre-season videos the players were wearing Marathon bet on the training gear, but in the player interviews this seems to have gone in favour of plain gear.

Methinks a new sponsor beckons with the kit announcement...

Well, I promised Fullers that if they became our sponsor, I'd donate a pint of blood, and they seemed happy to go along with that idea, so hopefully they'll keep their side of the bargain
Title: Re: Do we have a new shirt sponsor this season
Post by: westcliff white on July 05, 2015, 03:17:14 PM
the option was on our side I believe, so if it is a decent amount take the option or do a deal with someone else where if we go up we get a substantial increase in yearly sponsorship.

Seems a bit pointless to be selling the last years away kit as our new season third kit, at buy one get one free, 2014-16, if they are changing the sponsor

That's actually a good point. Wonder if the club will offer a swap for those who have it, so they can get 'up to date' so it were

True, understand the volatility of sponsorship deals but there's no sense of advertising the kit as a 2 year kit when the terms of the sponsor deal allow that deal to be ended after the first season. 
Our official partners include iPro, VisitFlorida.com , Metro bank, motor village, carlsberg and apsley tailors.

Hold on, how can the Club have the cheek to charge £40 still for the black shirt (supposed to be this years 3rd shirt) if they're changing the sponsor? Put it this way, if that's the case, there will be a lot of fans kicking off.

The kit will stay the same, with sponsor changed. Like when betfair replaced Pizza Hut on the home kit in 2002

Title: Re: Do we have a new shirt sponsor this season
Post by: aaronmcguigan on July 05, 2015, 06:19:32 PM
Well the kit is sold as 2014/16, assuming trade descriptions act will kick in and everyone will rightfully kick up a fuss, or maybe the new sponsor as part of the deal will cough up to replace them

Marathonbet  have an option on a third year as part of their deal but haven't decided yet or Fulham are looking further afield for More money either way they shouldn't be selling shirts with Marathonbet on until it has been sorted
Title: Re: Do we have a new shirt sponsor this season

By all accounts, Marothonbet have removed Fulham from their bio. Read into that what you will.

When the new kit was being linked I looked online for the best looking sponsor and found a few blinders. Mozilla foundation comes to mind. I'm a technical Neanderthal so will try and post a picture but realistically won't be able.

iPro is our new sponsor. I have it on good authority, its a 1 year deal. The shirt looks decent sponsor dead centre with a black collar.
Title: Re: Do we have a new shirt sponsor this season
Post by: westcliff white on July 14, 2015, 01:22:02 PM
we have done a one year sponsor deal, that's terrible IMO, surely we could have got a longer deal with someone. also seems the black shirt is our away shirt for next season, online they have the link for the new home kit (nothing on the link though) and the black kit listed as our away kit usually by  now it says third kit.

Don't IPRO sponsor Derby? not saying they cant sponsor two teams just asking

I don't think this is true. A photoshopped image (on not even the correct new kit) with iPro on it has been floating around. I stand to be corrected but what's your source?

if so, that will be the best logo we've had in relation to our colours and shirt.

Don't know how to post it, but if it's the iPro Sport logo, then it will be very minimilistic (basically a stylish writing of the letters in black, with the i dotted in red).

Plus the kids will hopefully be able to have it on their shirts, so that they look more authentic

'leaked'  is the incorrect wording, as it's a mocked up version of a kit we will not be using.

Going to reveal both the sponsor and kit in unison, meaning for our friendlies we'll be wearing a sponsorless version of last years kit.

OH FUDGE OFF!!! Surely you can still show us the design of the kit, then have the fans 'pre-order' the kit whilst they go into production.

If it is still awaiting League sign off that would be both stupid and risky.  If it's a design that fans love and pre-order en masse only for the League to turn around and say it isn't acceptable the club would be in a pretty awkward situation.

I imagine it's for the sponsor's placement, size and product (e.g. maybe if it's a gambling/alcohol brand, it may require more signoffs..). Just guessing though.

Exactly - so if any of that changes then it may not look as good.  So if a boatload of fans pre-order it to then dislike the corrected design the club would have to deal with the blowback.  Ain't no one wanna deal with blowback!

Surely someone working at the club must have known the sponsor blah blah blah needed FA approval. So why commit to advertising to launch it on the 16th if they couldn't guarantee it? I promised my daughter I would take her to the club shop this weekend and buy her it but judging from the announcement that might be a waste of time now.

I wouldn't care so much even if the shirt wasnt launched until Christmas but don't tell us a date and attempt to tease with a collar then a sleeve, if you have no certainty it will even be launched then. Not taking away from the great news that we are getting a better sponsor, that can only be a good thing for the club but its the manner they have delayed it that is disappointing especially for kids who wont understand the reasons.

Lets hope it is as nice as we are hoping, when Fulham say something is exciting it usually isn't.

I saw that but take that to be the sponsors logo and positioning not, the kit design otherwise it would take to long to get anew one sorted prior to the season. The club as I say have released teasers of the new kit already how silly would they look to then change it, am convinced it is about the sponsors logo etc, maybe also exploiting the option to have another printed logo on the shorts or back of the kit like some other teams have done in the past

I don't really see the fuss. It's a kit. We'll see it eventually, just sounds like the club are trying to ensure we have a decent deal in place with a reputable sponsor. Can't complain really.
