[Tord31]

Squad photo yesterday.

Who are the backroom staff DB and DW? Are these guys that Goodwin has taken from St Mirren?

Anyone know?

Is that pic doing the rounds on social media of next seasons kit genuine ?   Not the best but I don’t think they could top this years kit.

Not seen it but I agree they'll not be able to top the current home shirt. Should just keep it for another season.

It’s a concept design apparently and not the real one.  It’s on twitter.  Not sure how to post a link

It’s just a concept mock up from twitter.  Nothing to see here.

With the cost of living criss we are in all clubs should be keeping kits for at least 2 seasons.

Oh hold on , that would mean showing concern for fans, and not viewing them solely as cash cows.

As you were!!!

Totally agree. Rotating new home and away strips every year is plenty.

You do know the club & adidas don’t force anyone to buy the new kits?

They virtually do.

When a youngster wants a kit it’s very difficult for parents to say no.

Where do you think the finances come from to develop the club, the moon?

Selling merchandise is a major revenue stream.

Does anyone know how much the club actually make from the sale of new kits every year ?  I would imagine this years kit was a big seller.   
Clubs are always going to change kits every season for commercial reasons.  Maybe if the club charged a couple of quid a month for Juniors DNA the they could throw in a top with the deal.  
Adidas have announced prices will increase by 10% for replica kits this season so an adult top will be £60+..  that’s extortionate for effectively a t-shirt.  At least there was only 2 kits.  I think the victims are on their 4th this season..

£60 isn't dear at all for a tshirt, surely?

It seems quite a lot on the surface... but if you wear it 100 times that's only 60p per wear. The idea of paying £80 for a pair of trainers still seems mad to me, but if you wear them every day for a year that's just 21p a day and mine usually last 3 or 4 years. By contrast, you go out for a meal and it's £20 or £30 and once it's eaten it's eaten.

Some middle aged observations for you.

Probably not tbh.  A sure sign I’m getting old.

There should be a happy medium.

Change the home & away strips every season. But bring out a third strip with the promise it won't be changed for at least two years, so those less well off can buy that one and their kids are still in the latest strip.

Might as well buy them a t-shirt with 'MY PARENTS ARE SKINT' emblazoned on it. They'd get called 'third strip tinks'.

How long do we have left with Adidas? It might be an idea to start making our own kits.

Keep it in house to maximize profits.

Iron on AFC badge on last seasons Atlanta tops

[ericblack4boss]

Get Dunottar replicas to do them , have you seen the fucking shite they churn out.

 

Seriously what was wrong with the shirts be used for two seasons and alternating each year which one changed, 

Remember the best kit we ever had the JVC one was used for 3 seasons 

[milne_afc]

Who keeps sportswear(lol) for more than a year anyway?

Some right scruffy bastards.

Aye over priced at a lot of it, 

Fucking clubs play in thick as fuck fans , with no fucking sense, that's the way it works , says more about the folk buying than the clubs selling.

Something for Roberts, Morris and Richardson to do to earn their keep.

Richardson.....makes them quickly but the end product is disappointing.

Roberts........stitches his left hand onto one of the shirts and goes off sick for 3 months

Morris.......manages to make a complete batch of green AFC home shirts
