Puma Kit Next Season 09:23 - Apr 10 with 2269 views

Just heard that Puma will be our official kit partner for the 2024-25 season and they've agreed a four year deal.

Certainly not the worst option available

Hopefully they will have a decent pricing structure and range of options, for those that will want buy it.

Used to love my Puma King leather boots !!

Good enough for Man City so hopefully we might see some decent kits from them - that said, they were responsible for that fetching City away kit that transitioned from cerise to lemon via peach as the in between colour and another third kit with a paisley pattern that my Dad would have been happy with on a silk tie back in the day. I reckon someone at City ‘had a word’ as some of their more recent shirts have been OK. Their 24/25 home shirt, already leaked, looks OK. I hope we return to proper evenly spaced bar stripes, it’s about time.
Talking of Puma Kings I remember having a pair of George Best signature boots with moulded studs. The attraction was not Bestie but the fact that they were signal red leather uppers with white trims / Puma swoosh and white outsole / moulded studs = footie boots in Saints colours! Got them from Bentalls in Kingston and they were the most comfortable boots I’ve ever had on firmer pitches.

Is it just me that is bemused by the fuss about this?

A genuine shock for me to today realise that Brighton Buddha was harping on about it to the Echo’s Alfie House in September about wanting us to have Puma kits.

There I was at Sunderland in September, thinking that our humiliation was due to crap tactics, application and effort. But alas it seems the kit was also to blame.

I think it would be fair to say kits mean a lot to some fans and not a lot to others. I suppose you could say it represents the identity of your club in a visual format - recognisable colours / design + the badge ect, so some get quite excited about the prospect of a new kit release.
I have to confess an interest in them as I used to work for Olympus Sport and replica became an area of responsibility for me. Did several major launches in-store in our ‘301’ megastores (usually Oxford Street, Liverpool or Glasgow) and at one point got very involved with pitching to Man U for their replica contract - so instead of Adidas or Umbro it would have been an Olympus kit, plus we were looking to brand and run their Club shop / superstore, which is exactly what Nike do now. We got pipped at the post in a three way tussle with Umbro & Adidas.
As for the BB / Puma stuff you have mentioned, I really don’t know what that is all about - actually, giving it some thought, perhaps the BB thinks the players will transcendentally absorb the spirit of the puma from the logo on the shirt and run faster! 🙂
If you Google ‘Puma Spirit Animal Positive Powers’ you get this - Puma as your spirit animal helps you to find your inner ferocity and psychic awareness. Take a look at the positive traits of the puma spirit to know more about your true self. Adaptability / Opportunistic / Intuitive / Intelligence / Courage / Independence / Balance / Confidence / Observant / Leadership / Protective. You hear about half of those words / qualities in every BB press conference - how many times have the players been ‘brave’ this season?
That started off as a light hearted quip about running faster but I might have just cracked it as I wouldn’t put it past the BB thinking that way.

will the home kit be red and black with a yellow streak down the back?

And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head
