Not going to happen, is it ?

Would be nice.

I just hope we come up with something a bit more inspired design-wise for next year.

I just hope we have a shirt full stop. And of course a sponsor.

Just invested in Ellgren's 1980s Fulham RL SHG Alarms shirt. Loved it at the time & still do although not as much as the red, blue & yellow quarters shirt.

Baby steps here DC. Can we improve on this year’s shambles? The answer has to be yes. Shirts by Christmas? That would be sensible but to do it we need sponsors in a line. Actually we need some sponsors full stop. I reckon we could and should but red line - 2 weeks before season starts.

Even if , as per usual, replica shirts for next season aren't available before Christmas I don't think there's any good reason for the club not having a range of other items ( jackets, hoodies, hats etc..) ready for sale ahead of the festive season - especially not if we remain with the same kit provider.

IIRC the club have signed with Errea for multiple years. Errea sponsor Natoli as well. If they run their design process like most companies, the shirt will have been designed a while ago. It wouldn't surprise me if Smashlings are our main sponsor for 2024. I would be delighted if the jerseys would be ready for Christmas.

I certainly hope they have come up with some more engaging/eye catching designs for next year. Errea do have some really nice stuff, but this seasons shirts were a bit bland and 'stock option', no doubt down to the rush job as previously discussed.

I'm the idiot because I'll still end up buying one regardless, but would be nice to see us do something a bit different, especially given the extra exposure next year.

TBH I wouldn't mind something similar to 2019's jersey. Simple yes, but very traditional and strong London branding.

Yea

I have at least one top a year from about 2008 to 2019, including some of the special tops we did (Bash tops and LBSA acadamy one). But 2019 was last year I got a top..... Might have a punt on one this season

You would hope they are urgently employing talented backroom staff if any of the blindingly obvious things that need doing in preparation for jext year get done.
