Next seasons kit

Careful not to confuse additive/subtractive colour models here.
RGB/HEX values are used for digital on-screen purposes only.
Fabrics cannot be accurately designed or matched using RGB/HEX. Sure, you can hold up a garment against a calibrated display (I'll take a punt that very, very few people using UTC have one), but that isn't really the done thing.
You would use Pantone/RAL or other more specific (beyond my knowledge) models for such applications. In any case, fabric textures also affect the perceived colour of the garment.

I know a few numbers if you need them

I think the designer was Martha in year 2

No need for Leary’s I drink too much and chain smoke instead

[Clovius Boofus]

It's not for me. The sponsorship logo is horrendous. Walking around with a big yellow W logo is not a great look.

For £9m they can stick I love B@stards on it for all I care

[colne-claret]

Personally think it looks nicer in person.

Yeah, and it would sell loads, too .

Fair enough, it's big money, but like I said, it's looks horrendous. I bet we sell fewer shirts this season. I've not heard any good feedback amongst my social circle. Plenty of unprintable stuff, though. I bet b@stards have a field day with Photoshop. Anyhow, you pay your money and take your choice.

[JohnMac]

You need to lose the negative mindset that W = W*n**r and think positively, it actually means W*n**r!

It's a Logo and will not affect my choice to buy or not to buy in the slightest. I don't really like collars but think this strip looks smart

I went into town today walked up to the ground and must of seen over 100 people wearing the new top obviously none of these were from your social circle but it looks very popular

Interesting. Well it would be nice to get a darker tone of sky blue to set ourselves apart from W Ham and Villa imo.

West Ham.

Aston Villa.

[Pickles]

I'm another who'd like our blue to be a smidge darker.

[tarkys_ears]

Just seen a few of the clubs retweets on twitter


The kit is horrendous. The sponsor is probably the worst we've ever had and totally demolishes what is already a really **** looking shirt.

Just think … two more kits to come

[bfcjg]

It has grown on me, hard to follow last years classic though.

[Boss Hogg]

Sponsor doesn’t bother me but the collar does. It does look better live though. Seen a few about today. Hoping the away one is better.

[123EasyasBFC]

The detail in the shirt is fantastic but both sponsors don’t look great

[tarkys_ears]

Well luckily in the past few years at least the away kits have generally been better and the third's have been sexy mofos!

...but that sponsor. It's just too pikey and too big!

2021/22 away kits I liked .. last season’s ? not so much

[Kevwando]

Does anybody know if the shop is open today? I know it’s usually closed on a Sunday.

[Jimmymaccer]

Burnley Wakes week, long time since I ever heard mention of that. Hard to believe now that virtually everyone in town had their hols at the same time.

As it happens, this year they are only a week late, it would have started last Saturday, 8th July.

Does “Wakes week” still happen in any form?

Sadly I can remember them! And yep, I remember buying my new Burnley shirt to proudly wear on my jolly days in Palma Nova back in the day!!

And probably will buy one this time again despite being an old git………..

In the past now when towns shut down for two weeks in the summer, when the bus station was packed on the first Saturday with people carrying suitcases.

Is the £9,000,000 figure correct?
Has it been officially verified?

Cheers mate

[AGENT_CLARET]

Has it been officially denied

[Big Vinny K]

Has it been officially denied

No but neither has £100m been denied.
Point is that someone has probably fabricated this £9m. How would anyone but the club and the sponsor have access to this information ?

The last time we had a big shirt sponsorship deal the first time the actual figures were made public knowledge were in the audited accounts….which will have been a pretty long time after the deal was struck.

[Firthy]

When are the 2nd and 3rd kits released?

100m deals haven't been talked about all over every media outlet but 9m has so until the official figure is out 9m is all we can go off

[claptrappers_union]

I think Dafabet, Fun88, and LaBa360 we're playing between £5-7m per deal.

[Pickles]

I know it's a loophole for advertising in countries where gambling adverts are banned but from W88's perspective, is £9m really worth it?

[Big Vinny K]

100m deals haven't been talked about all over every media outlet but 9m has so until the official figure is out 9m is all we can go off

Not my point
You substantiated the £9m figure by saying nobody has denied it.
My point is nobody from the club is b going to deny any number - so that’s hardly proof.

[kingarthur]

Any news on release dates for the away and third kits?

[williamjblazkowicz]

A mate has told me that it's possible to request a shirt "from the supplier" without a sponsor if the sponsor is a betting company. "They have to do it because of religious beliefs etc". I've not heard of this before. Is this true or is he talking rubbish?

Your mate is wrong unfortunately, I emailed Umbro and asked because I'd have one without the sponsor.
Contractually obliged to sell with logo on and come pre printed there saying

You're not wrong, but id imagine that's more for players than punters

[williamjblazkowicz]

I thought as much to be honest! Shame really as kits look so much better without sponsors. Thanks anyway!

[williamjblazkowicz]

Probably. Am I right in thinking players under 18 can't wear a gambling sponsor? So if a 17-year-old was to break into our first team, they'd have a different shirt with no sponsor (or a different sponsor)?

[Wembley09]

Watching the Premier League summer series last night and saw a couple of Villa fans in the crowd wearing the W88 sponsor shirt.

Had to look twice, I thought it was maybe some Burnley fans on holiday taking in the game

[Pickles]

Youth teams don't wear gambling sponsors but in the situation you describe, they'd wear the normal first-team shirt. Doesn't matter about their age.

Hearts Umbro 3rd kit….take a bow

[kingarthur]

..

[wilks_bfc]

Now that’s a shirt

[forzagranata]

Now that’s a shirt

Umbro really have produced some classic away kits for West Ham and Hearts...

[Pickles]

It's a joke how nice the Umbro shirts are for literally every other club other than ours. It's mad because Burnley shirts are going to be some of the most visible.

[burnmark]

Hearts Umbro 3rd kit….take a bow

Reminds me of the ‘Tailored By Umbro’ range that the England kits used to be.

[NewClaret]

That is spectacular.

Some of that over here please Umbro!

[forzagranata]

It's up to the clubs to give a clear brief to the kit manufacturer. Clearly West Ham and Hearts have asked for clean, classic, white, away kits that will look cool on and off the pitch.

I guess we can just hope that the third kit saves the day for this season's Burnley 'collection' - and pray that the rumours are a well-executed joke

[ksrclaret]

Wow. That Hearts kit is an unbelievable effort.

Imagine ours like that with claret torso and blue sleeves and... wait for it... hooped socks!

[Firthy]

That is spectacular.

Some of that over here please Umbro!

There's hope for our third strip at least. Looking at the Hearts kit, sometimes less is more.
