There was a link to one of the ' dubious' sources. They were about £15 each. Decent quality according to poster that bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziderarmy Posted April 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 I’d rather buy the official product. It’s mad that by now a club this side can’t find a supplier who can supply! His mates got the full kit which he was given I’m told when he was a mascot at a recent game. Unless his parents got it from China… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shirt looks crap to begin with so there isn’t much for the counterfeiters to work with, but up close the colour is absolutely horrible, certainly not the red I associate with serious football shirts - it might have been the sun as it wasn’t even the pink hue you see from a distance on the players shirts, it looked washed out and almost peach coloured. I assume if they don’t put them on sale before the summer, they could assess the feedback and design a new shirt for next season without having impacted supporters - unless we only got dispensation to change this season as an advance on next.

ExiledAjax Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I've been told that when the yellow kit goes on sale we will finally get an acknowledgement and maybe even an explanation as to why they decided to replace the badge with a tracing of a stock photo of a robin.

Bristol Rob Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 The whole kit thing is weird. Understand why they ditched Hummel but if they might have well have sourced these moody kits from China until the end of the season and then gone for something new. After ticket sales and concourse spending, shirt sales must be account for a fair wedge of supporter spend, so not involving them in the design process seems bonkers.

Our retailing side is a study of how not to do things. Decided a while back to stop posting on marketing, stocking, product issues and as it’s sooo bad … but I must admit being emailed in mid-April about the exciting arrival of bubble hats and scarfs was a new low. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 My assumption is that under the terms of the contract with Hummell we're prohibited from selling non-Hummel replica kit before the season ends. Yes, they have probably breached the contract by not supplying the kits, but Ashton would have had to make sure there was a get out clause there in that event. A few training items have started to land in the shop though. 4 hours ago, David Brent said: I refuse to believe that the shirt they are wearing is the final design. In terms of quality at least. That's my suspicion as well, but moreso in the badge area. I can't help but think they're essentially gauging the opinion of the fans, but haven't worked out the best way to do that is to actually engage with them! 7 hours ago, Olé said: There was a bloke behind me at Watford wearing the new home shirt (and he was far too old to have ever been a mascot) so I assume it was from these Chinese sites already selling it.

If it's the same suppliers as the one I got for this seasons shirt I wouldn't put too much on the colour as mine was completely the wrong red! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Shame. Was hoping they’d gauged the reaction & designed something decent for mass production / next season. Really dislike both kits so far, it’s so amateur looking. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
