Club and Country Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Not sure if it's been mentioned, but fella in club shop yesterday told me the new away kit is the fastest selling kit in clubs history??? not sure if he meant most sold or simply wiped out the inadequate stock....

kmpowell Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Looks like there's no Chinese copy kits coming out of the factories for the time being. I've contacted 4 suppliers, and none of them can get them. Anyone here managed to find a source, and actually received one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it not make sense for the club to produce a second batch of this kit or at the very least announce they are doing so and collecting pre-orders, or is that too obvious a business strategy for an in demand product? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I never knew flared shorts were a thing until I bought one of the toddler kits. Awful quality, looks like a shit fake and socks are like sandpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit that, probably due to my age, the white shirts black shorts away kit in the mid seventies was a favourite, but the latest really does look a thing of beauty. Purple and lime - pah!

Jimbo76 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Posted previously (a month ago) cos they had run out of letters and numbers for the shirts, much to my kids disapointment. Arranged with them to go in at 1115 yesterday prior to my lad starting his mascot thing and they would print both boys shirts with the numbers and letters they had 'put by'. Went in at 1115, having travelled from Devon. Letters and numbers not available, again. Really? Beginning and end of August, we can't source something as simple as that.

Wrongagain Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Strange coincidence- minutes before I read this thread I listed a load of 12 to 14 years old kit for various clubs on EBay a few minutes ago - before I was even finished I had a dealer on wanting the lot and 10 minutes after I was done listing it all - A City youths top and shorts from 2012 has an offer and 4 watchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozzarian Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Tried on the third kit Saturday as it looked good on others. Sadly the quality isn't there for me and the sizing is strange; I'm usually a medium but had to look at a small (not sure what they think of the average City fan). They also seem to have abandoned any semblance of decent tailoring. Saturday I may break out the Cotterill promtion home kit. 'Sport fit' or something wasn't it? I was definitely fit for a game in the first team wearing that. 'Cough.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozzarian Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I dislike the kit up close but thought that from distance it looked alright. Helps that the detail on the neck/arms is harder to see from there and I do like the single, bold, red colour (as opposed to stripes). Helps that professional footballers tend to make most kits look ok. Most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With contacts, I still have trouble making out much detail in the new home kit, which is fantastic news. Unfortunately, I did spend the first 15 minutes on Saturday thinking George Saville was Joe Bryan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like there’s always some quote like this at times….but I’d highly doubt it personally. Either way, stock issues are horrific still which was the big selling point to us fans re O’Neills, wasn’t it? Im aware that the home shirt is selling very very badly, however. Wonder why… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmpowell Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) Heads-up for those waiting, this morning the online shop had a major/huge restock of the cream away kit. Unsurprisingly, the email alert I signed up for hasn't yet come through. It was only via my daily morning manual check that I found out. So if you're waiting for the email restock alert you signed up for, you may be waiting some time so get in there now.

ralphindevon Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I called into the shop on Saturday and I know I shouldn’t be surprised but it’s got even worse. Just embarrassing as is the online shop. The reason I popped in was I’d seen a couple of fans outside wearing some nice gear, one with a custom shirt and one with a lovely bucket hat in goalkeeper kit colours. Of course these were nowhere to be seen in the shop. Has someone started their own City merchandise range that I don’t know about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to get a 2XL in the zip up training top this time (last year's training top I got XL, even though 99% of my other tops I own an L fits fine). I am continually annoyed at the inconsistency of sizing of garments across brands, surely there should be a standard for it, like shoe sizes FFS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
