New kits.

[TopCat]

Much has been said in advance of the style, colour, cost and quality. (through FAB members, or those in the know)
But has anything been said about release dates?

[GetIntoEm]

be a few days after the season starts, we are crap at stuff like this

[AGENT_CLARET]

We don't make them

It always seems strange how long it seems to get kits out now.

They have a very short shelf life so you’d think it would make business sense to get them available as early as possible.

Kits are designed for young people and yet they release them just as the 6 week school holidays are ending, surely sense would be to release them first week of July

They use to be available around start of July as was able to get the new one for birthday before going on holiday

Are we still tied to W88 Shirt sponsorship next season?

Are we still tied to W88 Shirt sponsorship next season?

I thought it was only a one year deal but we might be trying to get as much out of betting companies whilst we can before the shirt ban comes in 2026

[GetIntoEm]

i hope we are sponsored by $ROCKY, i dont know what it is, but i like their pitch side advertising

You won’t be surprised to hear it’s crypto

The founders of Castore, Tom & Phil Beaton, feature in the Sunday Times Rich List in the 40 under 40 category - worth £334million.

I don’t think there will be much colour in the second and third kits

I was expecting a white away kit and black third kit...

maybe

[NewClaret]

White and black then Tony?

[NewClaret]

maybe

Thanks

[burnmark]

Black away kits are becoming a ‘thing’ for us. Had quite a few since the first one in 2014.

[colner]

Am hoping for white shorts in the home kit,we seem to have a successful season when we are wearing them. Being greedy,hooped socks too please

I maybe wrong but if we've an all white away kit I can't see us wearing white shorts at home too unfortunately. White shorts and hooped socks should be on all our home kits

[IanMcL]

Will we still be our Claret and Blue?

[CoolClaret]

If they look decent the club would be best getting these out on sale ASAP to give the fans some good news/feel good factor after what was a torturous season.

My mate who's got a box at Castore has just sent me this prototype. Apparently Pace's daughter has had quite a lot of input in next season's design.

I reckon they'd sell a fair few of those shorts if they sold them as boxer shorts / PJ's

I actually thought you had it right about the colour of the away and third kit, Rileybobs. Unless things have changed. Maybe CT is more up to date.

[Stockbrokerbelt]

All claret, all claret, all claret.!!!!!!!!!

[deanothedino]

We don't make them

We order them though. Plenty of other teams manage to get them in for summer.

What does a box at castore get you?

[Rileybobs]

Exclusive preview of kit prototypes, premium seats at the production facilities with meal/bar etc, the usual kind of stuff.

[AGENT_CLARET]

And plenty don't, yes we order them but again we don't make them it's not in our hands

[Rick_Muller]

Delay is always related to sponsors for clubs like us, we need to maximise income hence shopping around for deals. Clubs who can release new kits before the end of the current season (like Arsenal for example) don’t have to change shirt sponsors every year

[Myk]

They’ve already got the designs for the next 2 seasons done I overheard while on the stadium tour

I remember when they’d parade the new shirt at the last home game of the season. I’m sure they’d even occasionally wear it for the last game too.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

1) all claret with blue pinstripes A) all black with yellow pinstripe 3rd) all white with claret pinstripes

They could only do that if having the same supplier and sponsor

[Bosscat]

1) all claret with blue pinstripes A) all black with yellow pinstripe 3rd) all white with claret pinstripes

Bowler hats and breifcases to match

That’s what I’ve been told

[deanothedino]

Of course it’s in our hands, it doesn’t suit the kit sponsor for them to be so late.

Hope not in the case of the home. That’s not a Burnley kit

[burnmark]

I think the last time we did that was at the end of 2010/11 season when we wore next season’s Puma home kit in a 1-1 draw with Cardiff. Fun88 stayed on as sponsor, so as been referred to, it was much easier to get the kits out.

[Funkydrummer]

They'll look like oompa loompas with those socks on.

I remember Akinbyi in all Claret… 2006ish? And maybe one in the late 90s

It really isn't in our hands we're the buyer not the maker and it's also got a lot to do with the sponsor change but you stick to what you believe if its an excuse to beat the club with

I’m not “beating the club” but if you think the club isn’t responsible for finding a sponsor and getting the kit sorted in good time then you’re being incredibly generous to them.

[burnmark]

Yes we had an all claret kit under Cotterill at home. I do like them as an alternative for an away game but just doesn’t sit well with me wearing it at home. Been too much chopping and changing of home shorts and socks in recent years.

[TheHistoryLecturer24]

None of the above ..

Haven’t you been banned once??

[TheHistoryLecturer24]

Haven’t you been banned once??

No never to my knowledge ? Why would you think I'd been banned ?

[burnmark]

Good

The deal with Castore as a manufacturer was signed a long time ago.
The outreach for sponsorship across all team categories started at the start of the year. Expect the adults and kids sponsors to be different again.
