Shirt Hoax/Leak with Sponsorship

[Coq au vin 0]

Alright Captain Pedantic! I meant since the early 1990''s when I started to remember things...

And you still haven''t helped answer my question.

Personally, Pinto looks like he''s made up of a skin from FIFA, his features are all out of sync.

Anyone with technical know how could know this up quite quickly.

Cant believe we would let Brentford beat us to the launch of a new shirt sponsor.

[Matt Juler 148]

I believe that if this is true all the kids shirts will be sponsor free so will look very smart.

[ec-p 90]

If true, nice kit, quite retro, shame about the sponsor.

Thanks, I assumed Asics was just the kit not whole sponsor, Flybe was low cost flights that was a Norwich based company and Proton was a Lotus affiliate. 1/3 but shows what I know.

In that sense, could then be true, we''re lumped with a gambling sponsor. Would prefer the Langley School sponsor that was on the youth teams shirt.

Wasn''t aware of this - is that an FA / EFL rule? Good news if this is the case. Doubt it''ll be an option for adults too, given the reaction so far.

I think it would be nice if you had the choice to purchase a replica shirt without sponsors logo.

I''m sure most of the sponsorship revenue comes from TV /press exposure, not Joe public wearing his shirt into the city centre!

I meant 1/3 for me... ''Tries hard but needs to know home county better''

[quote user="Morgan"]I meant 1/3 for me... ''Tries hard but needs to know home county better''[/quote]OK, I''m sure we''ve exhausted this one now. If it''s OK with you I''d like to keep the rank of Captain. [:D]

You can incorporate it into your name if you want? TCCanary aka The Captain Canary??

It''s yours

"The current code, which was introduced in 2007, includes the removal of sponsoring operators’ logos from all children’s merchandise, such as replica football kits, and the requirement for adverts to carry information about the Gamble Aware website."

Given the new working relationship Archant seem to have with the club, I doubt this story is true. They''d be stupid to jeopardise this relationship by publishing the new kit before its official launch.

I''m sure the club have informed Archant that this kit isn''t accurate, but are happy for people to go along with thinking it might be. Creates a bit of early attention.

[Greavsy 2,412]

The report on the pink un is interestingly presented, it reporting on the fans reaction to the perceived leak, and offers no comment as to its authenticity or otherwise.

It''s clever, and a no lose, in my view.

If it''s fake, they were just reporting a reaction.

If it''s true, they told you early, albeit unofficially.

As you say Lincoln, it creates early attention either way.

Viva Leo Vegas.

Ahthankyouverymuch.

Creates attention, but more importantly gets some fan feedback ?

No problem with gambling. People need to be adults about it. Nutty places bets each week and its for a good cause and companies take the money if the bets lose. Gambling companies are part of our capitalist system like Aviva etc. Nice looking shirt anyway.

Found it Re > Bidstack advertising. Quite an interesting read. I don''t think you need Linkedin to read it: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/our-norwich-city-shirt-sponsorship-worth-james-draper

A little redundant now, given this potential leak, but as with most years I took a crack at 3 kits for us a few weeks back, based on elements Errea have used for other teams.[IMG]https://s4.postimg.org/4rukxn4bx/GOTGOTNEEDIRV.jpg[/IMG]

[Crabbycanary3 994]

Nice work Mason, like them. Is this the sort of stuff you do in your day job?

[Lessingham Canary 99]

Good effort Mason, like them! are you a graphic designer?

[The Bristol Nest 513]

Hope it''s fake as it looks utter garbage.

[flying high up in the sky! 1]

Gambling is legal so don''t know what the problem is. If you don''t like gambling don''t gamble. The kit looks great. Hope it''s real.

[Feedthewolf 4,846]

Good work Mason! That green and black hooped number is a bit tasty, I''d be all over that.

[Legend Iwan 30]

Nice work, Mason. That white and green kit would be lovely as an away shirt.

That''s impressive Mason. Do you design other stuff? Was wondering about a Rays Funds logo for us PUPs?

[JF 694]

I was told a few weeks ago that the new kit had a green band running down the arm so looking at that picture I think it''s real. I quite like it.

[Robornio 106]

Great work again Mason. Every year before the kit comes out you come up with some spectacular designs, that usually end up miles better than what is actually released. If only the club would hire you as a design consultant, instead of letting a non-creative exec sign off yet another Errea eye-sore. If only.
