Footy follower Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 I.think it looks smart.....but does look strange without sponsors on it Also.prefer white....but red and black is nice too No tops worth that money but compared to pro clubs it's no more than I'd expect to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming we're not going to go sponsorless all season - seeing as we now seem to have a multitude of commercial partners elsewhere, would seem remiss to not have anything on the shirt. £35 would seem a fairer price point IMO. I hope it sells well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it sells well though. Sure I heard a figure of £50k a season quoted to be city's shirt sponsor. It is slightly surprising that there isn't one, especially given the media interest in them surrounding their homecoming, and the ever increasing number of local businesses that have committed as partners. If one couldn't be secured, would it have been preferable to have the name of a local charity on the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 It was suggested that there were three of four businesses looking at becoming the shirt sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darin Morse Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Sorry, £50 for a shirt (even a Premier League or an England one) is a rip off. Thecupfootballblogger, Craze and Football not soccer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecupfootballblogger Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 I think it is a good-looking shirt. I have always liked red and black as a combination. It was the colour of my primary school kit a loooong time ago! Back then, too, the idea of a sponsor on a shirt was a million miles away from anyone's thoughts. I quite like seeing a shirt with no advertising on it but I understand that's not really feasible financially. By the way, I like the white away shirt too.

Craze Posted August 9 Author Report Share Posted August 9 I think you need to speculate to accumulate - price the kids shirts real low and try to ‘grow’ the next generation of fans. This doesn’t do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pethick Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 As a comparison, tomorrow's opponents Dorking charge £50 (the same as City) for their replica shirt, while Plymouth Parkway are a bit cheaper at £40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Masters Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Hi All, this a genuine KAPPA SHIRT, famous worldwide, produced here in Truro, Cornwall. I am very proud have brought KAPPA to Cornwall, Q Brands Plus are the sole suppliers of KAPPA Team Wear in the UK, IRE and CI and are proud to support Truro City, Helston, Threemilestone, and to put in context Wigan Warriors, Hull, Bradford Bulls the list is endless.

yeww Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 The markup is ridiculous. You will be paying £50 for a gym tee shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craze Posted August 9 Author Report Share Posted August 9 Tbh it could be Kappa, it could be Nike, Addidas or any other make. It could be some completely unheard of cottage industry that would have done them for pennies. If it looked good and had the Truro badge on it and they'd sold it cheaper then the units would have shifted this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Darren Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 To be fair. Unfortunately in this day and age football shirts are above the £50 mark i don’t think Truro would be on DH Gate just yet!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsman10 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Does just look like a basic training top you pick up from sports soccer. 50 quid for a local team top is ridiculous. Surly as a good will gesture they could have maybe done a 50 per cent off for Truro residents seen as they been away for a few years.

The same owners own Cornwall RLFC and their merchandise is very over-priced too. Other 'merch' beyond the club shirt pretty over-priced too.
