Watford agree kit supplier deal with Puma

8:00am Friday 8th June 2012 in Latest Sport

Puma will be Watford's kit supplier from next season after agreeing a three-year contract with the club, we understand.

The Hornets will announce this morning that Puma have become their "official license and technical partner" and will produce the club's kit, training wear and a range of merchandise.

Watford will announce who their new club sponsor is in the forthcoming weeks and the new home and away kit will be on sale in early August - although fans will be able to see the strips by late July.

Raj Athwal, the Hornets’ commercial director, said: "Both Watford FC and Puma share similar values and we’re certain our players and fans will embrace the new kit designs and wear them with pride.

"Puma has great credibility in the football market – through its product designs and innovations, and marketing communications. This is a good partnership for us."

Puma's client list includes the national sides of Italy, Uruguay and a host of African countries as well as players like Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure.

Roger Harrison, Puma's UK marketing director, added: "This new partnership with Watford FC is another positive move for Puma, as we continue to reinforce our position as the number three football brand.

"Watford FC has a rich heritage and strong fan base, and we have some exciting marketing plans for the coming months. We are looking forward to a long collaboration with the club."

Finally! We have a kit made by a sports brand that people will actually want to buy / wear / be seen in. This is especially important for the younger fans where brands are everything - somehow i could never imagine Kit@ or Burrda cutting it in the playground. The benefit to the club will hopefully be more revenue Look forward to seeing the kits and the training wear RookerySG

Who cares as long as it's black shorts and a prominent red and black stripe! Too much red going on lately- they look like Noddy. Napalm Pudding

Also, it's important to be as conspicuous as possible in all light conditions, so that team-mates can see you out of the corner of their eye. Sometimes you can hardly make the away side out. Remember when Man U lost to Southampton, and Alex blamed it on the grey kit? They never wore it again. Casterbridge

Sorry, but given the choice (and we were a few years ago), the majority of fans opted for black shorts… mile high ron

Its only the Puma logo apparently reading the Club release. Very odd move to go back to the firm who are representing Puma (Genesis) who apparently won over half a million quid in damages when we dumped the dreadful KIT@ deal a few years ago. Judging by the hideous identikit designs below they haven't moved on much!! At least with Burrda we had some unique kits that no other clubs were wearing. The red and black away kit two years ago was the best we've ever had and the first home kit was really nice too. Lets hope the club have insisted on a bespoke design rather than the same lack of imagination all their other clubs seems to have http://www.footballk itnews.com/5547/new- coventry-city-kits-2 012-2013-puma-covent ry-home-away-shirts- 12-13/ http://www.footballk itnews.com/5515/new- red-cardiff-city-kit -2012-2013-puma-card iff-city-home-away-s hirts-12-13/ http://www.footballk itnews.com/5329/new- chesterfield-kits-20 12-2013-puma-chester field-fc-home-away-s hirts-12-13/ http://www.footballk itnews.com/5315/new- pink-pne-kit-2012-20 13-puma-preston-nort h-end-away-third-shi rts-12-13/ Reginald Dwight

Katy Perry's Revenge: Russell Brand Bullied Me and said I was Fat - ibtimes.co.uk

The film, which will be distributed worldwide by Paramount, is still undergoing final editing but is scheduled to hit British and American screens on July 5.

Its release will come just nine days before their divorce becomes official on July 14, following a Los Angeles Superior Court judge's ruling in February.

Brand filed the day before New Year's Eve after 14 months of marriage, during which Katy's career hit new heights while his struggled with the box office flop of his remake of the comedy classic Arthur.

One film insider told the Daily Star Sunday: "Fans are going to be horrified by the off-hand and often insulting way he treated her.

"It's Katy's documentary so the filmmakers have given her a huge licence over what's going to be in and what's going to be out of the final edit.

"But, at the moment, she's determined to let the world see just how mean Russell could be and what sheer hell she went through during a marriage that seems to have been filled with a lot of squabbling and unkind jibes."

In what Hollywood observers sceptically view as an attempt to soften the blow, Brand has been praising his ex recently on US chat shows, telling host Ellen DeGeneres: "I'll always love Katy and we'll always be best friends. I have only love and positivity for her."
