Macron is a shit kit manufacturer for a team of Wrexham’s current status.
I’d be fuming if we went back to Macron.

Particularly interesting from a travel geek perspective, as United don't actually have any routes into Manchester airport at the moment... Liverpool?

No chance.
Liverpool is very much a low cost / budget airline hub. Think Lufthansa are the only full service airline who use it.

Not the thread for it, but given your tone I'm sensing you don't like Just Stop Oil, which means they're doing their job right. not that I don't like it just don't like how they do it. Opinions hay... Again, they're doing their job right then. Protest involves disruption.

UEFA weren't going to replace adidas with any old chumps to make the referee gear for all their competitions, including the Euros and Champions League.

A smart shirt from Macron too. They’ll probably outsell nearly every other team in the Football League. Love Wrexham United. Playing at The Stoke Racecourse.

I think it looks alright but just spotted the weird little tie thing on the front of the collar and can't unsee it now. Ruins a decent shirt. Just seen it again and it doesn't look like a tie anymore.

They’re a world away from what they were in 2009 when we had them. I’m not going to get into an argument with a kit expert on the merits of Macron shirts. This has always been my rule; if your kids would get bullied for going to school in a sportswear’s brand of trainers, then they shouldn’t be making football kits for a club that has any dignity. And the little split on the collar is awful.

They’re not Pro Star, Lonsdale or some snide in house brand. I’d have them over Puma any day.

Puma's the next best thing to Adidas IMO (Being that they were the same company at one point in their history). Macron may have improved slightly but judging by that Wrexham shirt not by any great stretch, & even if they produce a decent shirt the logo will never be as iconic as Adidas or Puma, If I was into buying the club side merchandise like hoodies for e.g. I wouldn't go near anything with a Macron logo on it, I may be of a certain age but I still like to retain a little element of cool & Macron doesn't cut it on that score

Functional, well know and a big brand, definitely. But have they ever done a properly revered and respected design for any club ever? I can’t think of one. adidas and Nike are the two main big names, nobody touches them. Puma probably come third but only in name. Agree our leisure wear could be good with the Puma link too but we offer such basic bottom of the barrel stuff we may as well not bother. It’s just basic stuff with a County crest on it. I know we’re not City and can’t carry as much stock as them but even if we had a fraction of some of their leisurewear stuff we’d be on to a winner. Some smart stuff. An east example is the pre-match jacket we wore at Wembley? Why don’t we sell those (without the Wembley print)? We could also do pre-match training shirts. Loads of clubs do those now. Get some brilliant designs that can go way beyond what we’d actually wear in games. The whole shop and merchandise just feels like a big missed opportunity, but it’s been covered on here loads!

On the subject of kits, did we once drop and manufacturer’s logo to include that of the company that built outer floodlights? I’ve got a vague recollection of hearing someone (almost certainly you) mention it (probably on TSBW).

I'm sure I saw a tweet from the club saying the jacket worn at Wembley was part of next season's training gear and that it'd be purchasable at a later date. EDIT: Found it
