Returning to the sleeve sponsor issue, the scuttlebutt in kit obsessive circles is that they are looking to do a league wide deal, somewhat like the one the Bundesliga has with the Hermes logistics group
One challenge here will be finding a firm that does not conflict with at least one of at least one of the clubs' existing "partners".

Heh. I've seen worse, but the home shirt looks somewhat less attractive in close up.
Taking of worse, the tangerine and graphite monstrosity springs to mind of course which also appears to be making a comeback. Some wag in the Shed End has got a flag in those colours with the Bates-era prancing pussy badge in the centre. Well, I assume it's a flag and not the remnant of an XXXXXXXXXL shirt
Good stuff that, and the last one reminds me that when I'm back in England I really might have to shell out for one of these beautiful Karl Marx-Stadt tops from Copa (and on searching for the image, I see dalliance has provided the product descriptions on the Copa website, so congratulations on that gig dalliance!).
They've got a gorgeous zip top as well, which would be more managerly (one or two of you will remember I have a very long-running, albeit currently dormant, Football Manager career going with Chemnitz, which has resulted in their real life iteration becoming the closest thing I have to a German club I care about), but I'm not sure that shade of blue would entirely suit me as a long-sleeved thing.
Wednesday had one of their periodic fan steering group meetings last night - one of the things learnt was that the home kit next season will be blue with white sleeves, and the club will manufacture it themselves. There is a historical precedent here, we wore this design in the late 60s / early 70s.
Roma made their own kit and training gear a couple of seasons ago, due to some contractual foul up. It was striking, albeit unsurprising, how much nicer it all was without being festooned with multiple Kappa logos or whatever. They slightly reduced the desirability factor of the polos and tees by using weird vinyl badges rather than embroidered ones though.

Given my age that was the first Wednesday shirt I can recall and, therefore, their "proper" one.
I'm not that arsed tbh - Puma are shite and NUFC are pricks anyway - but am mildly excited by the internet tittle-tattle that confirms we'll have red numbers for the first time in donkey's years, which is both traditional, and allows for stripes on the back of the shirt.
Well the scuttlebutt on that is that Wonga's replacement is going to be Sports Direct, so perhaps Childcrusher And Sons Amalgamated Cotton might be more appropriate.

Wow, the badge on that shirt looks like a really nasty iron on transfer jobbie.
