New Kit - Now out in September

[VillaBob]

On the official web site - Home shirt on sale from Sept 16th and away is a week later. Two things are bugging me with this:
a) Why has it taken so long for this to be on sale?
b) How on earth can they be charging FULL price when the season will be a month old - As you wont be able to wear it for the whole season, they how can we be expected to be charged for the full season ????
I imagine the answer to the first point could well be down to Nike, new sponsors etc - But there is really no excuse for the second point !!
Whats people's thoughts on this ?? #-o

My thoughts.

I'm not wasting my money on it.

Fucking piss take.

They should have had one out in June and one released in September. Give people the chance to buy one before their summer holidays, and the chance for people who want to buy both to spread the payments.

Don't think I'll bother this year, as you say, they took a ridiculous amount of time to sort it.

Has anyone confirmed that it is only a 1 year shirt?

So once again people are having to wait until September to pay around £50 for a shirt that'll probably have an eight-month shelf life.  If people want to buy it it's up to them, but they might as well come with "MUG" printed on the back.

That'll cost you a couple of quid more.

Another pr shambles I'm afraid- other clubs manage to release their kits year in and year out ahead of us!

Between this and the bloody god awful checks I'll save my money this season.

Fucking September? It's a bleeding joke. Mind the way this transfer window looks like going we'll probably sign new players at the same time.

[flybo]

They should do a lot better than that September lol

[OldUser]

That's hopeless.

I can't understand why this boils so many people's piss.

It's a shirt FFS. And this thing about "shelf life". Does the shirt disintegrate after 9 months?

In fact, save your money and buy it for £15 in 9 months time. Or won't that be "fashionable"?

Yep all round it is very negative at the moment, no new players, fairly negative from the manager and now shirts out late. It's not looking good at the moment, we need a big upturn.

Wouldn't have happened when Steve stride was here.

Pete3206 - The thing that boils the piss (love the way that you put this BTW) - Its the fact that they are charging full whack - They are stating that its for the 2010/11 season, so fans should be able to have it for the whole season. I appreciate your comments that it wont disintegrate after 9 months, buts thats not the point really. It should be a lesser cost if it aint gonna be worn for the whole season - They market it for 2010/11 - Not 2010/11 from September onwards.
