Change of Kit Maker ?

[viapalace]

Bored at work thinking about Saturday, playing out scenarios in my head, so in order to distract myself I thought I’d ask if anyone knows if we are changing from Macron at the end of this season? We would’ve had 3 seasons with them now which is often the length of these deals. As much as I like some of the kits they’ve made, I can’t help but associate Macron with non league football and it always puts me off buying one. In short, they’re just a bit tinpot. Would take literally any other kit maker over macron - aside from maybe Avec if they still even exist!

Nothing wrong with Macron, some good kits particularly last seasons change strip White/Pale Blue diagonal - much better than the mundane yellow of late.
My grouse is with the sponsor- too many betting companies. I think by now we are worth an 'upmarket' sponsor like the days of Virgin, possibly banking like Chase, Metro, Lloyds even Nationwide would suit me.

Anybody can make the next kit, just as long as it isn't le crap sportif. The kit they supplied for Palace were complete and utter abortions
