Just a thought, & I'm probably looking at it a bit too deeply, but, with my inspector clueless hat on & after watching Lucas & Jakes interviews on TUFC tv. The training kit the boys are wearing has Pro-Direct emblazoned across the front & the 1899-2019 around the club crest.
Now is this the ' interesting ' sponsor GE mentioned a few weeks back ?
Will it be on the match day shirts come season start ?I
With P-D being such a mahoosive company I'd say it would be quite a coup for our 'little' club.
As I previously posted I have seen all 3 new kits and they have the 1899 logo instead of sponsor as the anniversary shirt. Unless they have changed for pro direct

Yes you did post that we had no sponsor on the shirts for next season and I posted in reply "Bollocks of course we will".
Commercially it does not make sense not to. Often the shirts are produced before the sponsor has been sorted and the sponsor name is added after. I suspect that is what you saw - the shirts before sponsorship contracts had been sorted.
I have heard the same re: sponsor. TUFC/PD Soccer hoping to make more of a 'concept kit' with no sponsor. They hope this will sell more and offset the lack of sponsor. I guess with a partnership with PDS the business risks will be minimal especially as the main sponsor is not that lucrative in the grand scheme of the overall income
The three I have seen are excellent and I will be buying the home one and maybe the away one and I haven't bought a kit for about 20 years.

If we are going back to yellow shirts and blue shorts I will be pleased. Much prefer those home colours than the all yellow kit and reflects the colours of the English Riviera as well.
