As far as I can tell from the thread I think we're the only team that realised it would go down badly with a section of supporters. There was also something mentioned about hash, no wonder it's late.

ChippenhamRed Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Very strange not to have released an away kit with the season already underway. That new season optimism might not last long so now is the time to be maximising sales. Do you think we can conclude from this that there is still some sort of problem with the away kit, or was it always the club's intention to release it late? It does seem odd.

Pretty safe to say there's some issue. Either the hashtag rules or perhaps a total redesign because of potential bad reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they realised they were an issue they probably held off getting any away shirts manufactured until it was resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few suggested there would be a launch on Friday - would've made sense to do it then before the season started. I imagine we'll use last seasons away kit for the time being, but surely they can't hold off much longer than a week into the season. Guess it depends how many they'd printed.

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Depending on the cup, we don`t actually need an away kit before we go to Rotherham on September 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should the club let the EFL dictate when we reveal our away kit. I reckon BS will just ask our players to play in skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverface Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Damn it! Why can't we manufacture our own shirts under the Bristol Sport umbrella, rather than be at the mercy of these global manufacturing companies who don't care about the minnows like us! Adidas...you should be ashamed letting us down like this !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted August 8, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Maybe the new away kit is so good that they fear no one will buy the home kit once it is released so are giving the home kit every chance to sell before they finally show us our change kit. We've waited all our history to finally get those famous, universally adored blue & white quarters, but crucially, adorned with a City badge, what's a few more weeks?

Haven't had to play in the change kit this season yet, and only Everton and Oxford to still play away, they won't be helping us with the answer!
