Kingstonian start the new season without a shirt sponsor - because they are looking for a five-fold increase on last year's deal with the Emporium Club.
That means the team will run out against Hereford with their old sponsors' name on their shirts and on Tuesday night at Yeovil the Ks' shirts will carry no advertising.
Club director Alan Kingston, who has been involved in negotiations, said: "We had hoped to get a deal done before the start of the season but that's not been possible.
"But we've still got three irons in the fire and we are pushing them as hard as possible."
The Ks director agreed it was "very unfortunate" that no sponsor was yet on board but said that "a carefully constructed sponsorship package" was being offered to big national companies.
He predicted a deal would be struck within weeks and said the launch could be a celebrity event involving Page 3 models wearing Ks shirts and nothing else!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
