What even is that? it looks hideous. When does the contract with Puma end? hopefully we can bin them off and get Nike on board as soon as possible.

Good for the club's coffers but i hope that we will soon see betting companies banned from sports sponsorship like tobacco firms

Won't happen - the deals are far more lucrative than with any other company

Bin Puma and get Adidas not Nike

It’s a sad state when sponsorship logos are bigger than the club crest

Sponsor looks massive. Don’t have any other complaints so far having not seen the rest of it.

Looks hideous.

Please, not Nike, their kits are shite.

I've decided that if I am going to buy a home shirt for the new season then I'm going to lose some weight so I can fit into a large kids size with no sponsor on.

It does look a bit like Labia360. Write your own punchline.

A record breaking shirt deal according to the club, I wonder how much we actually get from it, I'd guess peanuts compared to the money from staying in the league. I'd rather the club considered promoting local based companies for less cash over some big stupid betting company plastered everywhere. I enjoy betting and used to work promoting quite a lot of them and I have never heard of Laba360. I don't mind the Dafabet one because it wasn't enormous on the shirt, this Laba360 is grim.

Shirts cost £70+ with Nike, I'd rather we didn't. Just get a designer that will make a traditional Burnley strip

Laba means gamblers in Maltese - only spelt a bit differently

Apt name for a betting company!!!

I don;t get everyone raving about that Nigeria kit. I liked the dark green one much better. Opinions I suppose

Some like traditional plain shirts..some like modern busy shirts..i prefer the latter. I like the Nigeria one. Anyone remember the Switzerland one with the cross on it? I thought that was fab. Denmark have had some smart kits too. I like shirts to be different..stand out.

Some will disagree, infact most will but I loved the silver kit we had....

OssyClaret · Post by **OssyClaret** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 10:33 am

Looks awful!

I hope the money is big money in comparison to previous deals and that they have paid up front.

Seems strange, to say the least, that we have almost a start up company on our shirts as a premier league club.

Dom · Post by **Dom** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 10:34 am

I really want a smaller company to make our shirts, something more bespoke that the standard templates we always get.
Hummel would be my choice. The betting company logo is horrible. It's f***ing massive too.

That Nigeria one screams trying too hard to me. Our 91-92 shirt is one of my favourites. I remake of that would be great

I'll reserve judgement until I've seen the whole kit but the sponsor logo looks huge on that!

The hope is the logo is so large for marketing purposes - given it is a sponsor announcement news release

By that i meant that i hope the Government clamps down on betting companies and bans them from sponsoring teams, competitions etc.

Can see why the club takes the money in the current environment but i hope the wider picture changes soon

I don't like that, the 360 is bloody awful.
I hope the kit is better, but looks like a round neck which I don't like either.
Not promising.
