Random one but, given the Nike deal has all but ended. How come 25/ 26 signings are being paraded in the Nike kit? Is there a contractual obligation to do such? Could the club use retro gear to promote?

We are contractually committed to Nike, till August, as I understand.

31st July 2025.

They extended it the August because of the Covid season as I understand it.

That’s why there are no numbers on the back. They don’t want fans buying the Nike kit when it’s about to be replaced.

Yeah, as people are saying, due to Covid the deal was extended until the end of July. As it stands, until then any player announcements and pre season games will need to be in the Nike kit unless we can come to a deal with them for an early termination.
