It's official our kit maker next season is joma. Would have rather kept macron imo.
Joma are giving us more money than Macron so it’s instantly a better deal.
I’m not particularly excited by the brand Joma as I associate it with pub teams but if they’re good enough for Anderlecht, Villarreal, Atalanta and the Ukrainian national team then we’re not in a position to turn our nose up at them.
Be interesting to see what their designs are, I still miss Nike!
Does anyone know how much the initial 3 year Macron deal was worth to us?
I have been looking at Joma kits for a while when they were romoured to be our kit supplier and I quite like the stuff they do.
I do not care who the supplies the next strip as long as it comes in decent sizes. I hate Macron stuff, as it is all figure hugging and does not suit my body shape ( waist larger than Chest ), so I am very glad they are no longer Hibs suppliers.
If that's a deal just being agreed now then they've only got 5 weeks to get everything done and the strips out before the school holidays, which I believe is when they try to get them out by. Would be surprised if they are this year.
Don’t get me wrong I’m a bit of a brand snob myself. I’m not ever likely to be buying a Joma t shirt, trainers or tracksuit to wear and I’m sure we won’t see our manager sporting Joma gear on the touchline any time soon but I don’t care really.
I’m too old and fat for football kits now anyway, my boy won’t care who makes it and he’s the only one I know that’d be wearing it other than the players. As long as it makes the club £1 more than the next best deal on the table then I’m fine with it!
My only one hope is that they do long sleeve keeper strips, that’s been my bug bear this season. The keeper strips have looked great but not the most practical for my laddie playing in goals on the astroturf! Keepers strips shouldn’t be fashion items unless designed by Jorge Campos IMO.
Interesting to see who the sponsor is.....
As long as it's green and white I don't care who makes it. I won't be wearing it anyway
Do you mean from selling strips?
I’ve no idea how these deals work but are we not simply a customer of Joma? We ask for strips, they quote a price and we buy them to sell on?
I don’t think they will be giving us a lump sum up front and then making their money back via a % of sales.
Anyone know how these things usually work?
Yeah not fussed either. As you say, more is better :aok:
I remember having my reservations when it was announced LCS would manufacture our kits as I frowned upon them as cheap and more akin to supplying smaller clubs such as Kilmarnock, Dunfermline etc at that time but I was quckly won over by some of the stuff they produced so I will be keeping an open mind as to what will come of this.
On paper a 7 figure deal is not to be scoffed at and had we gone with a mainstream brand we would only be getting half a*sed templaints so im looking forward to seeing what Joma produce.
Think it's our most lucrative contract ever for kits. Might be wrong though
