Hartlepool United Suspends BLK Deal Amidst Company's Failure to Supply Kits
After already experiencing similar problems over at the Forest Green Rovers, who were initially supposed to be supplied by Hummel, another English fourth-tier team has to fall on hard times in the form of Hartlepool United, competing in League Two. Hartlepool United cut ties with BLK after the Australian company failed to meet expectations.
After one and a half months into the season, Hartlepool United complains about problems with maintaining sufficient stock for merchandise as well as training gear for their Academy and top-tier athletes. As a result, Hartlepool ended the deal with BLK and invokes to not buy any Hartlepool gear over at BLK.
