Should be £100 at that size, the amount of material they’ll need to use.

Yes, but it’s allowed for another year, unlicensed firms can’t be advertised after 2026

£80 for the basic shirt is a disgrace. Genuinely don’t understand the logic. It’ll just push people towards buying the snide version.

If we win a trophy in it, it will be an instant classic!
That should be it moving forwards, an option to purchase the shirt without a sponsor. A great move by the club, one which I'm sure will go down well with the fans who strongly opposed gambling companies on the shirt.
I do wonder how that would impact future sponsorship deals though, as that's surely a key part of the contract - having the sponsor's logo printed on all replica kits.

Looks like the crest is on it differently on each version;
They never had a choice.
It wont happen again in future unless the same unique situation presents itself.
What do you mean? There is no rule to offer a sponsorless shirt, is there?
Or you mean they realise the strong sentiment of the supporters and felt it will sell a lot more if they make an additional offering?

Yep, almost certainly it's written in the contract that sponsor must be on the replica shirts as well.
The unsponsored version is almost certainly a one-off, brought about because Stake are in the last year of their deal with us and the ban on gambling sponsors is soon to be enforced. Stake have no power to prevent it.
Premier League Central Register of Club Gambling Related Agreements Clause 3.5.2 of the code: “Ensuring that mechanisms exist to enable supporters to have the ability to purchase adult replica kits that do not include gambling sponsorship logos, in the event that they are not otherwise available for purchase.”
Still with Stake eh, had hoped it'd be gone but oh well.
