bigfatjoe1 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 i'm very sure such details arn't made public. We usually get some indication of the value. Also, can someone confirm that we get the money from Hillstone's on top of this new deal. I wonder how much all that comes to? Could be a nice bit of business.

Midsblue Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 This must have been in pipeline for ages after the rumblings of Hillstone and the pinch in the construction industry. How long has the new batch of away kit and merchandise been "on order" at the club shop? The delay was to allow Hillstone to be replaced by Cabrini but what about Carbrini replacing Carlotti? Both brands are owned by JD Sports so perhaps Carlotti will remain for the home and third kits but Cabrini on the Away. Carbrini could then replace Carlotti for the new home and away kits in Season 2009/10. It'll be unfair if the home kit is totally rebranded with manufacturer and sponsor because kids will want the new one and being a parent, I've already forked out for kits for my little one so that she's a beacon shining out from the likes of Villa, Blues, Wolves, Coventry, Derby....and on...and on...... Hopefully a further announcement from Alan will dispel any concerns?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
