Interesting to see another SK Kits club have engaged the services of a very high profile sports illustrater to design their kits which Ian has then printed (as he can print any pattern).
Begs the question why we've got for such a simple dull design for this years away kit.
In such a creative town and region I'd have thought we'd have been able to enlist a designer to create asomething a bit more unique.
Unless Ian can say otherwise...
1874 are fortunate to have a very high profile designer as a supporter who contacted the club and offered his services, something that otherwise would have cost £1000s. Personally, I’m really happy with our latest offering, which was designed with the help of the management and playing staff, and based on sales and comments at yesterday’s game, I’d suggest most supporters are too. I’m sorry Mr Hashtag dislikes the shirt, and feel free to offer your thoughts next time round.
The last time Andrew and I tried to work on a kit launch (we suggested launching it in the Market) you tweeted a photo haphazardly so I'm not sure how genuine your offer is in for looking for help. But despite that next away kit change, give me a message, and I'd be delighted to help source a kit designer.
As for Northwich, that's strange because Phil the artist tweeted he'd be asked to do it. Implying that he's not just asked to do it but the club had the proactivity to ask an actual designer to create it.
Most football kit dsigners would happily create a football kit for free and wouldn't cost £1000s. FC United didn't pay C21 a penny. There are certain projects that mean more than money.
Our kit really shouldn't be about just sales. It's an opportunity (as if everything we do) to help raise the profile of our club and bring in more fans. I'm not saying Stevenage have gone it about the right way, but I reckon more kids IN stevenage might be looking at following a game or two now.
