Look out for an announcement tomorrow re a significant new sponsorship deal for next season details will be on our website in the morning

I've heard its Umbro as our new kit manufacturers and we have cut Kappa's deal short.

Umbro have split away from Nike as a seperate brand again and will sponsor Hull and Everton next season.

Would prefer this, although Umbro wouldn't be my first choice for a manufacturer, I think they'll be better than Kappa which has obviously bought a lot of complaints over sizing of the shirts. If I had to choose a brand to manufacture our kit I'd pick Nike or Puma.

Coincidentally, I was just thinking about this earlier today, how long does the buy mobiles shirt sponsorship have left to run? So when will we be having a new shirt sponsor? Can't be much longer surely.

I like the fitted Kappa shirts, just not the shorts

If it's a change of manufacturer, i would want Puma... but i think this might just be Buy Mobiles extending the sponsorship deal.

Hope not, I think the sponsor can either make a shirt look great or look terrible. Plus the Buy Mobiles sponsor is way too high on all the shirts they've been on. Pushes the ram right up onto the shoulder when that should be that main aspect of the shirt.

I asked Steve Nicholson about the BuyMobiles deal on Twitter the other day but had no reply so it could be that changing as well as who provides our kits?

I'm sure BuyMobile started in 2010 on a 2 year deal then extended it a further year which was this season.

Buy mobiles originally ran till may last year, but I have no idea how long they extended for.

does this mean we can no longer show off our pigeon chests off in our kappa shirts?

This years shirt couldve been class but got ruined by a massive **** sponser and a stupid black line. Hopefully next years will be better, its been years since we had a kit i loved.

I've grown to love this seasons shirts. But get the feeling we would get very similar again next season from Kappa.

I'm divided on Umbro shirts. Some are really nice, others are a bit amateur looking IMO.

It's about time Rolls Royce pulled their finger out and sponsered the team a lot of their employee support. Or Toyota.
