Mod edit: Media reports confirming the initial rumour

Herald Sun


“The AFL is aware that BLK has gone into receivership,” an AFL spokesman said.

“Our commercial/licensing departments are in the process of gathering as much information as they can from the receivers to understand the implications for those clubs in the competition that have a relationship with the company for 2017.

“We have six clubs that will be affected in some form.”

SEN are reporting BLK are in trouble and that Richmond will be running out with a different manufacturer next season?

Huge news if true. Throws some big spanners into the works for BLK teams for next year.

I just sent an email to BLK asking them to confirm or deny this

With all due respect, I really doubt they are going to respond in any way to a random email asking about it.

PLEASE dont say this is true... i love BLK

You're in the vast minority then.

When you say its "official", are you in the know? Or just reporting what was said on the radio?
I know it's getting everyone's hopes up, just imagine the crows in Navy blue again, and Richmond Black and Yellow.
 
I'm a little concerned about the schadenfreude I'm feeling over this potential BLK situation. Anyone else in the same boat?
**** them

Let's not get ahead of ourselves you may have to still wear the already supplied gear for a year even if true.

I'm talking about the poor Fijian workers who may be out of a job, not the materials expert who couldn't get colours right and the graphic designers that foisted year after year of shit jumper designs on us.

I'm sure they will get other opportunities in the future. If they're reying on BLK to keep em employed well then...

Seeing as team lists and player numbers aren't finalised you would assume that BLK teams would have to find new partners if they want tailored player guernseys.

Yeah but right before Christmas. I mean sure it's Christmas come early for fans but we aren't the only stakeholders.

It really depends on how far ahead BLK manufacture stock which might be what has caused their potential financial mess i.e. holding too much stock.
