Langford Red Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I popped into the City shop today asked when is the new shirt coming out I was told not until the end of July! Why do City continuously miss the chance of getting funds in and advertising Fans want to wear the shirt in the summer! Year in year out City are the last team to sell their new shirts When on holiday in Spain etc. It is nice to wear and see other City fans wearing the new colours Even around Bristol, advertising the new season Is there a reason for selling so late and missing the chace?

Admin phantom Posted June 13, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I do agree, but possibly this summer people are more likely to buy an England shirt being the world cup? I'm not sure they are the last to sell their new shirts, but apart from one season many many years ago I can't recall us ever releasing a kit that soon into the summer Out of interest have any / many started selling next seasons kit yet?

Sydneybcfc Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Was in there today and there wasn't a lot outside of polo shirts and the like, unless you want kids socks of course which they have by the bucket load. I guess its most likely the upheaval of the rebranding of the Rugby lot thats causing the delay if you call it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nest Egg Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 The 17/18 kits will take some beating. Hope we don't go for yellow and navy though, never liked those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 To be fair so far the only kits that have been officially released/announced in the Championship are: Bolton: Home Derby: Home Hull: Home Ipswich: Home & Away Rotherham: Home, Away & Third Stoke: Home, Away & GK and QPR have had their home leaked. So even including the leak only 7 clubs have even shown their new kit. As a club who makes their kits "in-house" it doesn't surprise me when ours come out so much later.

City fan 1982 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 You would have thought Bristol sport wouldn’t miss a trick , Father’s Day missed , World Cup on , nah missed that . they know every year when the shirt sponsors contract is up, the club are piss poor on this tbh. Been the same for years , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Do we know when the shirt sponsorship was agreed? Unless it was long before the announcement, surely there won’t have been much time yet to design, let alone manufacture the new kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I have often been a critic of City’s ability to attain and market replica kit, and wrote to Jon Lansdown on more than one occasion. However, Bristol Sport is no worse than some of the kit suppliers we’ve had, and infinitely better than Adidas. For a multinational sports manufacturer that did nothing more than put a badge and logos on a pattern shirt they were appalling. Their lack of ability to deliver the correct sizes on time was legendary. One season they did not deliver the larger sizes until March!! On that occasion, as City refused to lower the price, I told them to stuff it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these suggested alternative robins have been hilarious To be fair the only reason this one is "acceptable" is because of Nostalgia. If we hadn't of used this Robin in the past and it was put forward as our new badge people would be cussing it out and pointing out that it looks like a pub league badge (which is true). From a design aspect, the Robin badge is dated and ugly, but we're Bristol City and whilst most teams fans hate ugly stuff we seem to have an off liking of it, take mixing purple and lime for example...
