The kit is hideous with and without the sponsorship.
The design is low quality, I was looking forward to seeing what umbro produced because West Ham always have nice kits but ours is terrible really disappointed in it. Hopefully the 2nd and 3rd is better

Hope they do the kids version up to xl

You can pre-order online now.

Like most - actually all - shirts, it'd be better with no sponsor. I like it otherwise

nope not for me,

the long sleeve one makes the best fist of it

Talking about for me and I’m the same size and weight as when I played for Junior Clarets. I’m 48 So there aren’t many that can cay that ( though I’ll admit I’ve shifted 7 inch from my max belt line)

Gambling promotion; I won’t be buying it, despite thinking it’s a cracking design. I’d pay for a sponsorless one but hey, not to be!

Whenever I’ve not liked a current kit, I’ve always bought one of the retro ones at the Club Shop, instead.

Why I’m asking what size does child go up to I’m the same size now as when I played for Junior Clarets.... so presumably they have a kids (sponsorless ) shirt to fit me.

You have very strong opinions on gambling; what is your view of BFC effectively being saved by Barry Kilby and his money which he made through his gambling business?

If we were sponsored by Ladbrokes, William Hill or Coral, no one would really care. It’s because it’s got that foreign muck on the front.

It’s just a shirt.

Yes, it spoils it massively, although I wouldn't go as far as saying 'foreign muck'.

It's just a shirt, it's just a ground, it's just a player, it's just a club.

It's just shite.

I remember Burnley turning down an good offer from Time Computers at a time they were sponsoring wovers because it meant defacing the shirt with their logo... wish we felt the same now.

Interesting that Heaton has modelled the keepers' kit. Players supposedly on their way out don't usually do this.

I didn't know Hazard was a keeper

In fairness how many could name the business or even what it did. Very few. It was never really well publicised.

There’s a market for gambling. But I also agree with a lot of the sentiments against it.

Like anything a balance.

Its not very good is it?

I liked the black away from last year , hoping for some better options.

I agree it would be a lot better if you could buy a shirt without the sponsor on it, the club should give this option and take a bit less money, perhaps they would sell more shirts.

Every time I’ve bought a new kit when we’ve been in the PL, we’ve been relegated. If someone gives me £40, I won’t buy this one

Chris Wood the new number 9...?

Not many I guess but that’s not really relevant. I asked a genuine question of a poster who is very anti-gambling.

Glad Wood has the number 9 squad number, goes with his branding, goal celebration etc, a little thing that could make a small difference.

I could be wrong (I often am) but I understood Kilby made his money through Europrint which manufactured scratch cards which, among other things, were put in weekend tabloid newspapers as freebies.

It may well be possible that Europrint had the contract for other scratch card games, perhaps for the National Lottery and possibly for other lotteries around the world. But there’s a difference between being a printer and being a publisher. To put Europrint on a par with Bet365, Paddy Power, LoveBet and the like is akin to blaming the printing industry for the production of pornographic magazines.

Is it really hideous though? It's not like our kit actually changes much. Variation on blue sleeves/claret body and a different sponsor.

It's the printers job to make it pretty and eye catching, much like gambling advertisements.

No, it's the printer's job to print it to a design commissioned by the client.

Gambling advertisements are created by advertising agencies to a brief set by the client.

It's all about the client. They commission, they pay, they advertise, they make profits, they ruin lives.

With Wood wearing 9, it would've been nice to see McNeil with the number 11 shirt.

I notice that Everton and Wolves have only just today launched their new home kits.

My suggestion would be that they come together with some of our own to form a support group.

Anyone heard any inside info on the away kit and whether there’s a third kit this season? Colours or anything?

Blue away kit and green third kit.

Hope they come with the clips.

The best shirt in the photos is the one that Wood is wearing.

For those dead set against the gambling logo buy a Burnley ladies top. Bit slack around the chest for some but trial and error will get you there.

Not sure what you mean - a good sized one will fit my man titties perfectly

If this is in regards to BK his firms money came from inventing bingo type scratch cards/ lottery. They didn’t print them “for” the papers until BK sold the company... they owned the newspaper game cards, not the newspaper companies.

They printed scratch cards.

He's still involved in several lottery companies.

He didn’t leave after selling the original business he retained control as board member (from memory) and continued working on other projects.

Isn't that pretty much what I just said...

Not really the point I was making that Barry Kilby’s firm was not just the printer, but he owned the rights to the games; which his firm designed. So no not the same point.

Yes, so Barry Kilby owned a firm related to gambling. I'm not sure what point you think you're disagreeing with in any of my posts.

You're arguing over how I phrased my original message. I never said they didn't come up with the games, I said they printed them and it was for them to make them pretty and eye catching so that people would play them, much like gambling advertisements. No?

Has anyone picked up their shirt today/had it delivered?

How does the sizing/fit compare with the Puma shirts last year?

Barry’s company printed the bingo cards for newspapers some years ago.

That’s a bit unfair. Gambling can wreck lives, including the lives of the families of addicts. The extent to which it’s promoted these days is absolutely disgusting. I hate the links that Burnley FC has with gambling companies and the way sport in general is linked with gambling. I hate the way gambling ads saturate the media. Even things like bingo and the lottery.

I wasn’t disagreeing with your point, but your initial post positioned where it was in the gambling argument, read as though you were suggesting they only printed not ran the games for the papers, anyway diff on same hymn sheet now
