[Albion] When do the new kits go on sale?

[StonehamPark]

Any news on the kits?
Can't see why they won't be released early this week.

 

[brightonmark1234]

is it right that we have only got both kits for this season coming

 

[The Birdman]

Also .... is it a 1 year deal only?

Is that because they are changing the shirt makers next year!

is it right that we have only got both kits for this season coming

Yes because we've got a new firm making next seasons kit,Errea contract runs out this year

I know what you mean. It's now unusual if a team keeps a kit for more than one season. I think we'll see two new kits every year from now on.

Most clubs alternate between new away & home kits every season, we can't seem to get it right at the moment

I emailed the shop last week asking whether they will be in stock by my lads birthday on 21st July and I got a very non committal mid July response which means I still don't know if its worth ordering the kit for his birthday or not.

 

[leigull]

Probably going to be the first home kit I haven't bought for many a year - really not keen on it and being that it's for one year only, there's just no need. Tempted with the away, but again for only one year it doesn't seem worth it.

 

[halbpro]

Bah, I'd asked for the new home kit for my birthday (tomorrow) assuming it would be out by now. Shall have to wait for at least one of my presents then.

Changing sponsor this season & kit supplier next season doesn't help.

okay mate

do they?

it seems to me that most clubs just have a new home and away kit every season, we were a rarity in having a kit for two seasons, especially in the championship.

Are Errea not bidding for the new contract too? They'd be in with a good shout after 14 years with us, good prices, good concessions, and a bespoke kit. The big boys won't offer us such good deals, as they don't have to, we could end up with a identikit set of kits, which will make some people think twice about buying. Look at southamptons efforts for next year, yes they got Adidas, they also got pub team kits. The economics point to staying with a smaller manufacturer, and we know how important our money is to mr Barber now don't we? It will be a fine balancing act between brand and budget, to make sure the margins are high enough, whilst ensuring the brand is attractive enough so that we all buy enough kits, as well as all the leisurewear items.

are they updating any of the fashion articles? Polo shirts etc?

 

[upthealbion1970]

Just been into the shop and been told press release today or tomorrow with all details regarding release dates for now kits

 

[Gary Leeds]

Im not buying either until its confirmed the sponsors logo is part of the shirt and not some tacky ironed on effort as they early buyers of the last away kit got lumbered with. Soon as that is confirmed then the order goes in for one of each

You can see that they're part of the kit in all of the photos. So no need to worry

If we 'upgrade' to Nike/Adidas/Puma etc in the future, ie one of the big brands, our kit will have 'ironed on' sponsors logos etc, as that's what they all do now.
