There doesn't seem to be a specific kick supplier pre 1975.
Europa appear to be the first with the logo

Yeah but pre 75s, manufacturers emblems were unheard of.

City keepers sometimes had the small umbro diamond on their shirts in the early 70s.

Far fewer kit suppliers back then: Umbro, Mitre, Litesome, Bukta.

Then post WC74 in Germany , Adidas and Puma started to make inroads with their insigna, and Revie brought in Admiral.

Was that when the TWS changed from yellow and blue to white?

It was around 76 from memory, same time as the vermin introduced their Smiley logo in a bid to reinvent themselves from the dity cheating ****s everyone knew them to be.

Admiral came from nowhere.

Not sure what year they switched from white to yellow/blue.

They nicked the all white from Real Madrid - typical lack of class copying another club's strip.

Yeh I remember as a young lad in the early seventies you didn't see people in replica kits.
It all seemed to explode when Admiral came into the market doing the England,Leeds and Man utd kits

Brilliant.
Why use it as yet another opportunity to be negative about the club?

If the club is incapable of capitalising on this once in a lifetime Cup Final and exploiting the Umbro news, then no one with any semblance of a brain can have any faith about the marketing acumen and expertise currently at the club.

Its not me being negative. I think any news is good news especially when it's more investment in the club. My point is why has the launch been so low profile ? It should have been announced with a press conference and a fanfare of trumpets. And it should have been headlined on the sports pages not a lazy cut and paste job stuck on the inside of the business section. Like having Geovanni at the game on Sunday, what was the point if no-one knew he was to be there?
In the same edition today, when FA Cup Final tickets are on sale at the KC for the first time ever, what do you think the HDM carried a feature on ?
'Are FA Cup Final tickets too expensive' and another load of ****e about supporters not being able to get tickets etc etc. The story would quite as easily have been, 'Hull goes Cup Final crazy...'
And on the BBC tonight, hundreds queuing at the KC all day, many overnight and the report says 'dozens'. Someone is dumming the news down.
The city should be decked out in flags and banners for the Cup Final, Hull City should be everywhere, but outside St Stephens what have we got ? Posters and information about Hull FC and how to buy a season ticket. Is there anything in the city centre to celebrate City reaching the FA Cup Final, like there was the first time we got to Wembley. Surely we, the club, the council, haven't got complacent already ?
Point being, which seems to have gone over your head, the club should be milking this occasion for all it's worth and I don't see much evidence of it.

Thought it was creepy the way the kid at the front of the queue said 'Thanks to the Allams'

Absolutely, I think there are so many opportunities that the club's marketing department don't seem to be capitalising on at the moment. Not entirely sure the reason as incompetence seems a bit too harsh on them.
 
It was very odd that we didn't announce that Geo, Ash and Deano would all be guests on Sunday.

The kit obviously hasn't been released yet, as they're still trying to decide which dodgy looking new tiger to stick on it.

Are they changing the Tiger? if so i think it will probably be a more frontal toothy aggressive looking Tiger.

I know they did have some new tiger designs, but I've no idea if they ended up changing it or not, though I'm pretty sure the new badge will have no text on it.

sounds quite retro could be a nice kit

It sounds like a petty spiteful old **** changing whatever he can in an attempt to reassert his authority.
 
The badge shouldn't change. There's just no need. We've had this before with mad owners changing the badge, Pearson changed it back to our traditional tiger when he came in. It's fine. Just leave it ffs.

Isn't the traditional tiger the one with just a tigers head from the 40's?

Obviously the words weren't always there but the tiger's head is the same one it was before it was buggered about with in the 90s.
