I know this season ours is Purple Property's, but I see Notts County are having a different one each month. Could this be a way of getting more local firms involved? Downside could be new players Shirts every month, but old could be raffles off to cover costs?

Thoughts?

What about "replica shirts"? Whose name would you have on

Print as required, choose your favourite?

I'd be happy with a shirt without sponsor's logo on!

I watch a lot of rugby super league on sky. I notice that they have double sponsoring on the back of the shirts and on the shorts, also provide space on shoulders, and sleeves.

Afraid those days are gone

a different sponsor every month kind of defeats the idea of attracting a big money big company sponsorship deal.

ie. Say a big company who's actively looking to expand and advertise, surly will be thinking hmmm yes what a good idea, lets sponsor a football club then We'll have loads of football fans all over the land and abroad will be advertising our company name on on their travels.

Imagine us doing what Notts County are doing when we struggle selling the Match Day Sponsors Box? potentially we'd have a scenario of having blank shirts some months.

Pretty sure the Football League limits sponsorship to one on the front of the shirt, one on the back and one on the back of the shorts. Happy to be corrected though.

Notts County must not have thought of all this. Maybe they can ring Morecambe for some other tips on how to run a club well.

Good news

Indeed!

The puzzling thing is still the Ground Sponsorship? Whilst I would imagine the asking price for this won't be peanuts it is a little surprising that the ground is still bearing the defunct Globe name after so long. Surely the price could be dropped to a level to attract a new sponsor in. After all some money is better than none!

How about Bert's Corner Shop Arena?

Can't remember if Morecambe wore a limited edition shirt for wearing at Wembley for the playoff finals, with the year and trophy logo printed. On the same principle I wonder if the club are printing any (collectors) edition shirt to celebrate both keeping Annapurna as shirt sponsor, and being our centenary, with the years printed.

The club are also having a centenary shirt for the squad which I suspect could be a modern version of the very first club shirt all those years ago.

Not sure what the very first shirt looked like.

The design has been agreed so we can all look forward to knee length shorts and thick wool socks....

Seriously well done to the club and I'm sure it will go down well with everybody and prove to be a successful commercial venture.

Brilliant news, well done to all involved. Thanks to Annapurna, whose logo looks particularly good imo.
COYS.

A message from the horses mouth

"Absolutely buzzing about it guys. Thanks. New centenary kit is going to be the best yet. "

Nice one Charlie

Two things: a.) shame that NCFC only seem to have one player left and b.) who would be the Shrimps' equivalent of Jake Bugg?

That scarf looks a bit orange to be a MFC. Thought I was looking at a Blackpool one at first glance.LOL

Nice touch by Mazuma to put St Johns Hospice on the front of our shirts for the FA Cup
