is it ? Nearly half the prem havent released theirs yet and to be honest what's the rush ? As long as its ready for the first game it really doesnt matter.

The panic over kits every pre-season has surpassed the panic over new signings.Which is one massive reason to go back to 2 years per kit cycle.

 

A few basic things always hold this up

- they need players back in the country to model it for the various promos online and club shop flashes. A fair few are still on holiday or at tournaments or subject to bids from other clubs

- the stock needs to be available - not always the case as we've found in recent years

- we need a sponsor which isn't always straightforward - West Ham, Chelsea and Forest have started seasons in recent years without one.

 

If you bear in mind we can't even supply working t-shirt cannons to Debbie, Sally and Tina at half time you can see how difficult co-ordinating those 3 things will be for our ever-incompetent middle management.

With the size of the sponsor I can’t see many fans wanting it

 

I'll have a Q please Bob

I’m not sure adults should be getting worked up about our new shirt not being out and we’ve all seen it already tbf

Match tops are a rip off. If you see a nice one, get it at the end of the season when it's on sale. Otherwise your consumer panic mode is more than justified.

Absolutely not

Get a retro one.

 

They're far nicer and you don't end up as a walking billboard for either a dodgy investing website or a Thai petrochemical conglomerate that trades in human misery. 

 

It doesn't date so you don't need to replace it in 12 months.

I got a retro one as a gift, bloody lovely. So much nicer than the new ones. Or that's nostalgia

Perhaps I'm just getting old now, but I really couldn't give a crap about a new kit. When it was once every few years it made it exciting. Now it's just money making scam, £50+ for a cheap top that probably cost less than £3 to make.

Treated myself to a long sleeve black away shirt from our title winning season. Cost about the same as the new shirt will cost.

The kit is right but most of the things especially transfers are 🧇

Please read carefully Is an odd choice for a new sponsor, but I do quite like the lanyard look. - Not keen on the red, but if they’re willing to put up the cash hey!

Yes, you are so old grandpa. 

 

I'm buying all 3 - I can't wait to lose the best part of £250

What a berk

If the sponsor is going back to that ghastly FSB crap than I don’t mind the first batch coming out with no printing.

You’re right. My frustration isn’t really all about kit release (that’s very minor), it’s the lack of news from the club in general other than players leaving. I guess I’m just getting impatient.

No, it's the club. 

 

Enzo basically said the lines of communication within the club are crap which is difficult to argue against.

Departments of the club don't talk to each other, plenty of first hand experience of this.
