I'm hoping for Hi-Tec, Slazenger or Fruit of the Loom.

If you were in anyway market savvy you could see we've got our official footwear partner there with Hi-Tec, our sports casual and terry toweling sock partner with Slazenger and official t-shirt to just be worn under a jumper if it's a bit cold partner with the 'Loom.

Still leaves us open to a mega-offer from Spall for the kits themselves.

Sondico for goalie gloves.

You'd cut rather a dash on the mean streets of Shrewsbury in that.

Back when the Bhatti Brothers owned the Tatters, what was their sportswear company called?

I like a Hummel kit, but I doubt very much they pay the most.

Depends on how much our stock has risen this season. Castore were presumably giving us the best deal most recently. We might be more attractive to Nike or Adidas now than we were 2 seasons ago, but it's possible we're still worth more to a brand like Hummel.

We need to at some point (I think we are anyway) look past the money upfront and work the exposure angle. Forget city centre shops, millions of people worldwide use Nike and Adidas apps to buy their shit, I'm not sure about Hummel, Castore, Gola or whoever but I'm pretty sure that's not the case with any of them.

They do, and Nike and Adidas push their stuff to the other outlets in a way that the other brands can only dream of.

Well I guess all that will be taken into consideration, and if they care about the whole global branding as much as they appear to, then it might well be a case of going with a smaller upfront financial deal in exchange for better exposure, and probably better quality, let's be honest. Depending on what % of merchandise the deal gives us, we could still end up making more if we're selling 20 or 30% more units than we are currently.

My favourite kit has to be Mexico’s 1978 effort - made by Levi’s

I mentioned Synthetico Twattini because, along with Hamtonesque yachtwear and playing high-slung air bass to Level 42, it was one one of the quick Gareth Tests of the 80s. You lot need to have a word with yourselves.

The dark green v neck is excellent.
