Liked our away kit from the start and the home one has definitely grown on me and both look good on the players. Definitely had much worse in the past and not my main concern atm.

Unfortunately the club shop has no large home or away shirts available,

Really poor given the hype and ,long awaited intro from design to sale. Plus club still having its loyal ST base....no forward marketing thinking here.
Has the shop changed much over close season from how it was at last home game ?


They've been overwhelmed with sales, not sure how that's bad planning

Reason to be cheerful if anything surely ?

I see what you're  saying but given all the info and stats they have to hand and the design they know would win over the majority, you don't plan to fail by under producing. Missed sales a plenty

don't like to see 32 Red sponsor several teams and far too many betting companies sponsoring football shirt.

It is indeed a very sad state of affairs, Michael.

I don't think there are enough betting companies sponsoring football teams.

I notice that after two years we've finally gone properly Championship with the new kit - the long sleeve undershirts that the likes of Grealish wear are a different colour to the home shirt.

Seeing as our economy is based mainly on speculation, debt leveraging and arms production you may well be right,  pauliewalnuts. On the on other hand,  this might be the basis of a well cool shirt logo.

I think they're last year's UA stuff, such was our financial plight recently...

What, the blue on Jack's base layer doesn't match the blue on his sleeves...

I’m gobsmacked that we won’t have any shirts for sale for the entirety of the main summer month as well as our first 3 home games. We really are a fucking shitshow sometimes. Was going to drive down there tomorrow and pick a couple up for me and the lad. Absolute morons

A number of the kits have sold out because they are so popular. They might not have seen such a huge demand for them which is all credit to the designers. We also don't know if the issue is at their end vs the club's. How does this make us a shit show? There's loads to complain about without whacking the club when you don't know the facts.

I do not think it unreasonable to assume that the lack of kit production may have something to do with Luke not wanting to create a significant financial exposure to a company that for several weeks had a credit rating of Zero.

I don’t care who’s bloody fault it is, not having any football shirts for sale for the month of August and across our first 3 home games is a shitshow. Those are all the facts I need to come to my conclusion thank you very much. The shirts costs £50 and have a relevant shelf life of 12months but aren’t available for the first month? Extend the factory hours, work weekends or evenings but don’t let one of your main income generators completely dry up for the busiest month of the year. This deal was supposed to benefit the fans, it hasn’t worked out that way for me.

Agree mattjpa, it's a poor state to be unable to get the kit to prior who want to give us money for it.

The end result is annoyed fans and money going begging, that's shit planning, no matter who by.

I also thought this deal was meant to make precisely this situation not happen anymore.
