Macron confirmed as kit supplier for the next 2 seasons

[BriggBlue]

Ahhh, now having Hornsby on trial makes sense

In fairness most people don't have time to go on Twitter/SZ during the day and only a small % of the fan base will have seen it.

So our sponsors are effectively the Govt - HMRC must be chuffed

That's now @Jai, by tomorrow morning it will be up there with other big headline pictures that I'm not allowed to mention. It will definitely trump it though.

Need to see it clearer but they remind me of Wimbledon from when they were in the Prem.

Away kit looks like a Man Ure home shirt!

The main rule about kits is that it needs to look like your team’s kit.

It’s not good if people see it and say is that Wimbledon?

In fairness to the club, i think they wanted the takeover, new shirts , season tickets to all be one big annoucement. Unfortunately they have been beaten to the post on the shirts and the new sponsor.

It is what it is now and they should IMO announce the shirts now as without blaming them at all that surprise has gone.

I INSIST the club make the announcement now !

Love the away kit

 

[tommy tucker]

Red kit is awful. Why go away from the yellow ?

red away shirts was nearly always our away strip .I know this because the Southend fans team was given a red kit to play in when theey finished uesing them .Minus the club badge which was removed .

 

[leeblue]

Yellow away should be the norm.
Not red.

 

[South Bank Hank]

Holding the shirt up for the camera is great but if only there was some clever way to see what the player would look like wearing the kit.

 

[SUFCGoals]

I have no idea who Tommy is and why he should "keep spoiling things" (which implies this is not the first time he's "spoiled" something).

I'm sure the marketing team at both C2C and the club are annoyed that these leaked pictures have got into the public domain, but they really should have been a bit more careful to keep it under wraps if they didn't want it getting out. It appears they've just gone to a railway station in Southend during operational hours - in this age where everyone has a camera on their phones and access to a social media account, it was pretty inevitable it would get leaked.

I'm afraid I have little sympathy if they failed to assess and manage the risks properly.

Not just the marketing team either...

 

[Strykr]

Red? Cant express how much i dislike that. We are the blues or yellows we arent Orient ffs

 

[tommy tucker]

Shrimpergonzo i dont know you and you dont know me If you dont like what i say Dont bloody read it .Like you i am entitled to have a say as you do .If this site has become a closed shop I will stay off it .I cant be doing with being told what i can or cant say .By the way i do like the home shirt if that is what it turns out to be .Sorry maybe i should not have said that i might have spoilt something .

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Wow, some good stuff is going to be in the shop soon!
Hopefully lots of stock across the size ranges.

Historically up to 1934 Southend (and most clubs) wore black & white stripes as their away kit if required. In 1934 Southend appointed David Jack as manager and one of his first actions was to use an "Arsenal" red shirt. for away change. He also tried to bring in several Arsenal type changes hoping to get some reflective success, unfortunately it failed. Southend finished bottom but one and had to apply for re-election.

 

[Richard Hearn]

Yellow shirts are vile.

FACT!
END OF!

 

[Holy Joe]

I have loads of old red shirts from 90' and 00's, it's certainly a colour that we've worn many times before

 

[smudgster]

4 weeks ago I would have been happy if we started the season in string vests !

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

That home shirt is horrendous. It would have been better with white stripes like the early 60s. After all, we are blue and white, not blue and yellow. It was only because of Vic Jobson promoting Laing Builders, that he was affiliated to, that yellow came into it, as they were all about yellow.
Macron, we are blue and white. In the 70s, we even had 2 songs about blue and white, sung in the North Bank.
It could have been this. Much better.
