Impressed! Well done!

[MikeTheBlueBird]

Excellent news, the new kit looks pretty good.

[Jim]

Yes, full marks to club for organising this deal.

[Wintergreen]

Good news - but is there a reason why the Bluebirds play in white?

[Cokey]

Glad we've dumped Vandanel.

Should get better quality and service from Puma.

[Nigel Bamford]

"As the brand's exclusive licensee for PUMA Pro Teamsports, Genesis is delighted to be working with Barrow AFC going forward to deliver the full range of Technical Kit and training wear for both players and supporters."

Oh gawd, why do companies feel the need to talk in this way? What they mean is "We are selling you Puma kit next season" but, no, they've got to be "working with", "going forward" and have to "deliver" (what, literally?).

But, yes, it's nice a deal has been signed.

That comment about gobbledygook strikes a chord - see my "Off Topic" post!

Nigel, Jim, dont, whatever you do, look at Genesis Sports website. It is full of the mumbo jumbo stuff.

[Jonty]

Pleased that this deal is done and dusted now and announced at the end of the season. The timing is spot on and this is what it should be like every season.

Hopefully sell well over summer.

[The Poacher]

Great news and well done to the club,I may buy one this season.

Not sure; maybe it's related to our connections with the Royal Navy - ie the Navy's White/Blue tops?

Glad to see we're staying with White/Blue and Sky Blue, though.
I'd like to see us wearing an ALL White strip with blue trimmings - think we wore this once - circa Mike Marsh era.
Sky Blue was my choice for our away strip last season so I'm delighted we're staying with it.

Regarding the 'Bluebirds'. Never seen the point.
How about 'The Sea Dogs'?

Apart from the early black and white stripes, I believe that throughout the 40s and 50s we played in blue shirts and white shorts. In the 60s we had a year of blue and white stripes before the white top and blue shorts came in about 64/65. Of course, we gained our first ever promotion in those colours, so maybe there is some affection for them now!
