    The kit is an absolute work of art and the stuff Bruce said in his interview with Nick Barnes is really promising. Can’t wait to see the other kits.

    I feel like today is a proud day. We’ve been tinpot when it comes to retail for years. When I first started working amongst marketing I realised how much we were missing a trick with a fanbase like ours and couldn’t believe how **** it was. When I heard about Hummel I thought it would take years to finally get everything sorted and it would be gradual.

    but they’ve aced everything and managed to get every single thing right and every issue sorted. The store looks top quality and I finally feel proud of the gear that represents our team

    We won't be selling Jobe in the summer. I reckon we will make enough money from the home kit to buy Jude to join US. Real Madrid ain't seen anything like this......

    I don't think it's a case of finally getting it.

    He got control of a club that's had no investment in it for nearly 12/13 years.

    He's probably worked his was up his list of priorities.

    Whether you personally like the kit or not, literally nobody can deny that Hummel and SAFC have nailed it and it's a collaboration that will make everyone involved a lot of money.

    Great start to the new partnership.

    Don't buy shares in a club mate. The last time that happened Quinny and his mates rinsed people to take full control.

    The info I heard was that the away is mostly all white with blue and green accents annd the ship badge and the third kit is like a weird bluey-green shade with the script badge.

    that di canio’s knees with all the kit info on RTG has said the same

    I also like how Hummel's PR team could be ours and vice versa. If anything theirs is better.

    Dare I say it but today felt like a bit of a new beginning with things. New manager in, club nailing the kit launch etc. feel good factor maybe starting to return?

    That’ll happen with positive results on the pitch.

    I think maybe 3 quality signings will have me excited for the season, otherwise yeah, I probably won't be all that excited until something changes on the pitch.

    Positive media and feel good factor can be massive for the club this season, confidence will be the key to success and having a fan base glowing off the pitch and happy will transfer to the pitch. Don't forget that almost all teams within the club done well last season with the first team probably being the only one that under performed.
    Again though it needs to be remembered that the majority of our first team last year were eligible for the u23's and whilst results were not what was wanted or expected my feeling is that with a couple of shrewd additions and a tactical switch (I hope RLB can provide this) we may well see some fruits of last years signings as they settle into their new surroundings and see what this club is like when at full tilt. At least that is my hope.
