I wasn’t sure at the start, but I like it a lot now. It’ll look great with white shorts.

    I like those stripes.

    Kit would be better if the badge was all white
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Let's be honest, the green blob is going to make any kit look dreadful. When Villa had them as a sponsor, the circle was white but Brady's negotiating obviously wasn't up to getting that deal for us.

    Perhaps we got more by keeping it green?

    I'm sure that will be Brady's argument, but if she were better at her job then we wouldn't have that monstrosity of a sponsor's logo on our shirts.

    Isn't the green bit the Intuit sponsership, the same as last year

    It is, Intuit Quickbooks became our official sleeve sponsor in March last year and we've been wearing the "green blob" since July when the last season's home kit was launched

    Regardless of the adverts, for me, the home kit is average...not enough blue for me..A bit boring...

    All of those look so much better (obviously apart from the fact that it's Villa not us) than the green blob we've got on our sleeve which is just horrendous and completely at odds with our club colours.

    I think, in itself and apart from the logos, it's not too bad, but not as our shirt; it would be ok as a training top, but not as our matchday shirt as it doesn't really represent our club colours. As you say, not enough blue.

    I’m just so pleased that we no longer have a betting sponsor, otherwise it does lack blue and looks more like a Villa shirt than a Hammers one.

    BTW the man who negotiated the Intuit sleeve sponsorship, the JD Sports sleeve sponsorship before that and all the other sponsorships since January 2022 was Chief Commercial Officer Nathan Thompson who was promoted to Executive Director (Commercial, Marketing, Digital and Content) in March

    Reports that his promotion was a step on the way to becoming Managing Director and replacing Brady have been denied by the club
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    So what on earth does Brady actually do?

    Surely Boyle Sports is a betting company?

    I can’t quite believe that grown men are getting triggered by a football shirt.😂
  • carsonroadboycarsonroadboy
    I didn’t know Boyle Sports was a betting company. Shame on the owners, as I know betting companies make outrageous amounts of money from people who can ill afford it,

    Going on where Sully started out I don't reckon you'd shame him about doing business with a betting company! I am sure eventually all gambling adverts will go the way of tobacco advertising, it's only a matter of time.

    She's Vice Chairman but not a Scooby what the Vice Chairman actually does

    Boyle Sports is Ireland's largest independent bookmaker

    The £100m three year sponsorship deal was announced last week despite Premier League clubs agreeing in 2023 to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of their matchday shirts by the end of the 2025-26 season

    Clubs will still be able to have sleeve sponsors from betting companies but it is unclear whether Boyle Sport will be on the front of the shirt or on the sleeve after this season
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    From observation the Vice Chairman's job seems to be sitting in the directors' box looking bored and grumpy
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I could do that.

    But MrsG would you refer to the West Ham fans as customers?
