Perhaps the delay from the club is wanting to release it with sponsor?
Unlikely. Last year's home shirt was out before we announced Bally's.
Yeah, pretty sure it’s now 4 out of the 5 seasons since promotion we haven’t had a sponsor in place when the shirts have been announced.
I think the only time we’ve had a sponsor at the start of a season for the kit launch was the Kaiyun one (24/25), and I’m not sure that company even really existed!
Yup.
Season 1 - No sponsor at all until UNHCR halfway through season
Season 2 and 3 - Kaiyun which was at least before the start of the season but was dodgy as anything
Season 4 - Bally's which again I think was before the start of the season
Season 5 - TBC
Is this the first year that the ban on gambling companies as shirt sponsors kicks in?
Yep think so. I'm sure there'll be a lot of middling clubs scratching around for the best deal right until the last minute. I reckon we'll have been sucking up to Eon.
I think you can still have betting companies on the sleeve and the back though. It could be that the income received from both of those, from a betting company, exceeds the value of the non betting front of shirt.
