Three's contract ends with the FAI at the end of the month + Elverys are selling all the current gear off for little or nothing. Has anyone heard if we'll be getting a new sponsor?

There was rumours BOI might take over as part of the deal in relation to the FAI's debt ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one". Bill O'Herlihy: Ah ye can't be saying that now Eamonn |

| Are they sticking with NB as the kit supplier or is it only the sponsor that is changing. TIA. |

Sticking with jacc sports as they had the licence for NB in ireland, however they also have the licence for Kappa, Under Armour, BlK and umbro so if I was a betting man I would think returning to umbro is on the cards similar to what happened at shamrock rovers. ------------- time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it. |

Giventhat Niall Quinn is friends with Boylesports founder John Boyle the Belfast bookies may have been an option? However as Boylesports are a shirtsponsor of Birmingham city it's probably unlikely ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

Yes, that’s the most likely outcome. Bank of Ireland will have their logo plastered on the new shirt in return for knocking X million Euro off the €55m debt

i think BofI are on fairly shaky ground at the minute. Their share price halved over COVID. I’d be surprised if they wanted to sponsor anyone. I’ve always wondered about companies with no presence outside of Ireland sponsoring the national team. 3 operates in many European countries so they get exposure on our jerseys in qualis and tournaments. Opel the same. Eircom, why would they bother sponsoring an international team?

They get feck all exposure as the teams don’t wear sponsored jerseys. And I doubt any fans in other countries would suddenly have decided to switch to three because Irish fans had the logo on their jerseys. In saying that, sponsorship has always baffled me in general, it obviously works for them but I don’t think I’ve ever been persuaded to buy one product over another because of it -------------  YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |

I think this is the most likely too. Given the debacle that is the FAI I can't see many outside the likes of Paddy Power who would want to be associated. Sponsorship as part of the haircut on the debt makes sense.

Elverys seem to have 2 new polos on their website that I've never noticed before. NB again but no sponsors on it but the polos never normally have a sponsor. ------------- The dark side.. And the light |

Looks like I was wrong with the polos. Already gone down to half price. Wonder why they hold on to designs and then release them when it's the end of that cycle just before they release new gear. ------------- The dark side.. And the light |

| I reckon we will be back to Umbro too. They never sell off ireland gear this cheap compared to other club gear |

The Opel sponsor looked good on the gear especially before they added the round logo above the OPEL . I am hearing we are switching to Bukta

Yes, surely a new sponsor and new kit manufacturer will be announced sharpish? Ireland's next match is in two and a half weeks' time. Unless Ireland are going to be still wearing New Balance in Sofia? |

You'd assume they'll have new training gear at least, seeing as the 3 sponsorship ended. Unless we go down the route of putting tape over the sponsor.

Yeah usually there would be a photo shoot of the new gear with the players while they're meeting a few months beforehand, but suppose there hasn't been any meet up recently. So the players might have the new gear for September but it won't go on sale to the public until the October matches. ------------- The dark side.. And the light |

Technically they were just on gardening leave, doesn't mean they were stepping down. Now they're being welcomed back, and will get the mother of all welcomes. ------------- The dark side.. And the light |

Same people will be giving out about having a sponsor on the jersey when it does come out.
