slartibartfast Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 It's a shame ,I really liked the last kit, nearest we've got to looking like Arsenal ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 The 17/18 kit (the one we wore against United), was that a retro version of the same shirt? Or was that a version of a different one? Seems weird to do the same kit twice in 6 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 10 minutes ago, TomF said: Also I wonder when they say distributor if they actually produce the kits under licence and that it’s basically being farmed out to same places that the old were using? I remember years ago Richard Gould (1st time as commercial manager) saying that they could get TFG to produce brands under licence. I guess with ONeils we’re dealing first hand, maybe that’s the difference. I think you're probably on the money. I seem to remember that Errea produced some of the Bristol Sport kits I believe? We've had years of experience in this and were heavily involved with all the designs for the Hummel stuff so I imagine for us switching suppliers wasn't much of an issue. We bring a lot to the table. However Coventry don't have any other options so have probably been forced to go along with whatever the new set up is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 ****. I’m 42 years old. I have three kids. I investigate murder for a living. I pride myself in not buying replica shirts.

Elruliri Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Didn't we have a a thin pin stripe shirt in the mid-late 80's for about 5 games and then it was changed. I'm thinking 87-88? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Jon Lansdown is an interesting speaker. He could announce that we were signing Haaland and giving away free season cards, he’d still sound like he’s going to burst into tears. 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
