A smart shirt from Macron too. They’ll probably outsell nearly every other team in the Football League. Love Wrexham United. Tapping into the (sizeable, I’m sure) ‘Americans who have only heard of Man United’ market

Tapping into the (sizeable, I’m sure) ‘Americans who have only heard of Man United’ market Tapping into the considerably bigger Americans who have heard of United Airlines market. It's a Premier League level sponsor in League 2.

I’d never, ever describe Puma as iconic. 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! 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 Am sure training shirts have been available for last couple of seasons.

Ben Foster signed on for another year at Wrexham. Good, think he be more a weakness than a strength for them, everyone remembers his pen save against Notts but let in fair few ropey goals in the few games he played

I reckon he'll create more goals than he concedes through keeper errors.

Au contraire, I think they do some great stuff. 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. I quite like it to be fair. Imagine it in royal blue - white collar and cuffs with blue and amber pinstripes. Would be lovely.

Lol. I do sometimes feel like I'm one of a very small number who is able to look at it objectively and not let bias get in the way of the facts. He's a Premier League level keeper in L2, he'll do well regardless of the team he's at.

Its so easy to do a hatchet job or bum up a keeper to suit your own agenda.

He had been out game for a year or so though, admittedly he could get back in swing of things with a full pre season But he has other side interests now and is 40yrs old not sure he gonna get back anywhere close to level he was now

Nice article on Tchamadeu at Colchester. Tbh, can't say I remember him from either game. They had a Poundland Grealish at their place who looked quite good but can't remember his name. Really powerful stat about them: Colchester’s commitment to giving youngsters a chance in senior football is impressive — their 2022-23 squad included 12 players under the age of 25. Over the season, they gave the most minutes of any team in the 72-club EFL to players aged 20 or under, with Tchamadeu, Samson Tovide and Noah Chilvers — all under the age of 23 — providing 34 per cent of their goals and assists between them.I know we're way behind because of our years without an academy but we've got to aiming for things like that every season. theathletic.com/4527128/2023/06/09/junior-tchamadeu-colchester-united-youth/
